damn sif, just because you heard the word folly used once doesn't mean u have to keep on using it!!!
hes right tho, its really important to know everything in modern, which is a pain because its such a big subject, but thats why its scaled so well.
1919-1923 can be included in essays covering periods after anyway as you can included election statistics, cultural information, info on the constitution etc... to show WHY the Republic failed.
Thats the thing with Modern, because its all chronological, its hard to discuss a dot point without bringing in its causes, which quite often are part of another dot point.
