What to revise

This is a large topic making up 50% of the course. Therefore there is a lot to cover.

I would approach the topics in the following order, however it is likely that the question will require you to pull on relevant knowledge from a mixture of areas as long as its relevant.

1. How effective was the government in mobilising volunteers and support for the war - propaganda, conscription, attitude to volunteering, role of women

2. Course and conduct of the war - success and failures of military leadership and tactics, often the examiner likes to ask if the leadership managed to keep morale up or contribution to winning the war - so methods and effectiveness.

3. What was the experience of British troops? How effectively did the leadership keep up morale?

4. How successfully did the government gain support for the war effort and control people via propaganda

5. Mobilising the economy - this hasn't come up for a while - what did the government do but more importantly how successful was it - successes and failures.
