alright thanks! I was just worried when the France book (which is 2e) had a key individuals section and the Russia one didn’t

Also note, the previous edition of the France book has a timeline which I found very useful - if someone else has it and you can maybe photocopy or something, I would recommend it (if it's legal, course).

So I have got a big compilation of notes for Revs from past students (America), and I am having a hard time trying to digest a lot of content. Is there a way to retain this knowledge further (my teacher said that that writing would be a waste of time, as we have notes)

I would tend to disagree with your teacher, as I've found that writing notes builds muscle memory and helps me to remember content, although don't fall into the trap of rewriting textbooks/content word for word. Maybe consider turning what you're learning into practice questions and writing responses for those instead? That should help you build up your content knowledge and exam skills at the same time.

I would say you should
a) reread reread reread reread reread again and again (don't underestimate it!)
b) synthesise your own notes out of it (which is what I did as well as rereading)
c) write responses and get your teacher to mark them, both open and closed book
d) do Kahoots on it (I'm being entirely serious here, for the record)
e) get classmates to test you and vice versa
f) put information up around your house to keep seeing it
and just expose yourself to the content as oft as possible.
