This is a timeline of Hitler's rise and rule by Google. I chose this because I have more trouble remebering the sequence of events than the events themselves and there will probably be a question I need to sight him in on my paper two. Limitation: I don't know how reliable Google itself is, I've only used sites offered by Google.

http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1946.information but I doubt I'll need to know so much specific information, so this source for me ihtml
This is an article on detente by u-s-history.com. I chose this because one of my paper 2 questions will be on the cold war but I feel a little shaky about what we covered on detente. I hope this source can provis kinda limited ide more n usefulness.

This is a very brief summary of Maoist china by mapsofworld.com that I chose because I wanted one last IRL on China. My paper 2 will have a question on single party states so I decided to brush up on China but this source is limited with its tiny amount of content.

This is an article on basic facts of the Arab-Israeli Conflict. I thought it was interesting because history facts are a section of a site about science and technology. Our IB paper 1 is on this topic so I need a basic background for question 8. The limitations of this source are probably it's content since this is from a a site focused on science and technology.

In class tok question
Can history provide a guide to understanding contemporary affairs? Can it provide a guide to the future? What might be “the lessons of history” for future generations?
History can absolutely provide a guide to understanding contemporary affairs, and to the future but to a lesser extent. The lessons of history for future generations will consist only of conditions under which major political shifts occur. For example, a competition of politics between countries tends to spread into foreign policy and economics: in IRL 12 I looked at a source that described Comecon- the USSR's answer to the American economic plan against communism. The use of propaganda (IRL 13) is essential in all political systems as a means of swaying public opinion and is seen across several continents and multiple generations. My IRL 14 is a document on the lessons of the Vietnam War- so this is a great example of where we are already using lessons of history to provide a guide for the future. The reliability of the recordings of history (IRL 15) place a limit on our accuracy when making predictions but we can almost always relate it to current affairs. In the Arab-Israeli crisis, which still continues to this day, history is the key to understanding the sources of conflict (IRL 16). The very core of the crisis is centralised around the history of the crisis itself. Thus history is closely connected to current affairs and can the lessons we gain can provide a guide to the future.

This is the Likud platform, I believe that Likud is a part of the Israeli government. It comes from the State of Israel. We're studying the Arab-Israeli Crisis in class right now so I thought it would be informative to gather more background information on Israel. I think this document is 10 years old so it's not super current and I don't know if anything has changed since it was published.
