Peer Assessment Question and Expert Answer
Question What is History all about and what do Historians do?

Expert History is the study of the past. Historians find out all sorts of information that they then sort out to
Teacher provide us with a picture of what life was like tens, hundreds or even thousands of years ago. The
Answer first thing that historians have to to do is to divide time and to place the events they are looking at
into historical context. Historians use lots of different ways to divide time - from years, decades
and centuries to eras - like the Tudor Period, or the Middle Ages. They must be careful to ensure
that they put the correct person or artefact into the correct era- or else they will make the mistake
of anachronism. Timelines are a useful way for historians to display events. Historians are like
detectives. They investigate hundreds of sources looking for facts. They compare sources with
what they already know and can then build up a picture of events. They ask vital questions such
as why did something happen, when did it occur and what were the results? In order to find out
this information the historian uses sources. Sources can be primary or secondary. Primary
sources come from the period the historian is investigating whilst secondary sources generally
come from a later period- for example a text book written about Henry VIII in 2005. Sources can
be anything - from books and documents to buildings or even remains of food found by
archaeologists. All of these things provide the historian with information. They analyse these
sources asking questions in order to find the facts they require. They must be careful to spot
biased documents- this is where the author has a prejudiced view - and it can lead to evidence
being less than clearly presented!

KS3 History 05: Elizabeth I how successfully did she tackle the problems of
her reign?
Question How well did Elizabeth I cope with the problems of her reign?
Expert When Elizabeth became queen, the country was split by religious arguments. She invented a
Teacher middle way in an attempt to bridge the gap between Catholics and Protestants. She did have
Answer some success in this, but England was still a divided country when Elizabeth died. Catholics may
never have forgiven Elizabeth for her decision to have Mary Queen of Scots executed. While it is
believed that Elizabeth made this decision reluctantly, it is also true that she had no intention of
allowing a Catholic to rule England. Elizabeth was very successful in re-establishing England as
the strongest country in the world. The Spanish Armada was feared around Europe, but
Elizabeth's navy left the Armada completely defeated by sending fireships into the tightly packed
Spanish ships. Elizabeth also faced the problem of being probably the most powerful woman in
the history of England. She once said that she had 'the body of a weak and feeble woman', but
she was also much braver and intelligent than most of the Kings who had ruled before her,
including her father Henry VIII. We can see evidence of Elizabeth's bravery and independence in
the fact that, despite pressure from all sides, she never got married. She thought she was capable
of ruling without a man's help, and she proved that this was correct. Elizabeth dealt skilfully and
bravely with all of the problems of her reign and, in many ways, had a very successful reign.

Question In what ways were the Islamic states so successful in the period 600-1600?
Expert After the beginning of Islam, the Prophet Muhammad was followed by 4 great Caliphs - under
Teacher whom the extent of their empire grew quickly. It quickly expanded through the Middle East
Answer especially under Umar - who was a great warrior and just leader. However as Muslim influence
expanded there were a number of different groups within Islam that vied for power and in the
760s a great new Islamic city was built in Baghdad, a city which grew rich on trade etc. This city
rivalled Mecca in many ways. Apart from its great armies that invaded Europe and destroyed the
old Roman Empire, Islam became a focal point for medieval discoveries in Science and
Mathematics. Many Arab mathematicians invented different strands of maths - includinding
algebra and trigonometry. Even the number Zero can be attributed to Islamic mathematicians. In
science many Arab scientists produced new inventions- including the first watch, the pendulum,
the telescope and perhaps even photography. Books on human and animal anatomy were
produced and in geographical terms - the first map of the world. Arab discoveries then covered
many fields and contributed much to the development of the world. Islamic architecture also
offered much beauty with its decorative buildings and vast mosques. Between the 11th and 13th
centuries many Christians tried to take back their holy city of Jerusalem which had fallen under
Muslim control. These battles were known as the Crusades- and were fierce contests. Muslim
armies won many battles and their leaders proved to be worthy warriors. Medical science
improved as a result of these wars also. By the 16th century the Ottomans had taken control of
the Muslim empire and it stretched from Saudi Arabia across Europe and into Africa. The
achievements of the Islamic states in many fields were vast- and their power held firm for many
more years.

KS3 History 07: Images of an age what can we learn from portraits 1500-
1750?
Question Why were portraits so important in Tudor times?

Expert We must remember that in Tudor times there were no photographs or television, and the only
Teacher time people got to see their king or queen was through a portrait. For this reason, kings and
Answer queens were very keen that they should be painted in a positive light. Henry VIII was always keen
that his many faults were not known by the public. As he got older there were rumours that he had
got very fat, and he was also very greedy and wasteful with money. To counter these rumours,
Henry would have himself painted looking very thoughtful or attractive. His daughter Elizabeth I
also knew the importance of portraits. Many people doubted her because she was a woman, and
even more so when she refused to get married, but she would have portraits painted of her with
many meaningful symbols. For example, the famous rainbow portrait shows her with a snake
(representing wisdom) and a rainbow (representing peace). Tudor monarchs also knew how to
use portraits to make their enemies look bad. Henry VII argued with Richard III over who should
be king, so he used portraits to make Richard look like he had a hunched back and an ugly face.
People at that time would not want somebody with physical deformities to be king. Henry VII also
spread rumours that Richard III had killed his two nephews in the Tower of London. Modern
historians have shown that this is probably not true. Henry VIII had beautiful paintings of his wives
painted, but when he grew tired of them he had very unattractive pictures painted to make his
wives less popular. He would then be able to divorce them. He himself was tricked by a portrait,
however, when he fell in love with Anne of Cleves after seeing a very flattering painting of her.
When she arrived, he found she was very ugly and the marriage only lasted a very short time!
Portraits do not tell us everything about the time, but they are very useful in showing us how each
of the Tudor monarchs wanted to be perceived by the people of England.

Incorrect Answer 3 Because England needed another Cromwell
Question What were the causes of the Civil Wars in England and what effect did they have on the
way the country was run after 1649?
Expert The Civil War had many causes. King Charles I believed that he had inherited his power from
Teacher God and could not be questioned. However, many people in Parliament questioned his
Answer extravagant lifestyle and his demands for taxes like Ship Money. Charles decided that he could
rule without Parliament and he did so - for 11 years! This caused some anger. His religious
policies also caused problems- as his adviser William Laud tried to make Church services more
ornate- upsetting Puritans. In Scotland when he tried to make the Scots use the English Prayer
book, England was attacked by a Scottish army and forced to give in. Parliament was recalled
and tried to force Charles to do as they wished, but he retaliated by trying to arrest 5 MPs who
had criticised him. Parliament raised its own army and Civil War began. The results of the Civil
War were varied. Parliament's army became well-trained and disciplined and defeated Charles in
a number of battles. Politically, Charles was executed and England became a country without a
King- led first by Parliament and then by the military dictator, Cromwell. Socially- Cromwell
pursued a policy of religious toleration - although Puritan beliefs were enforced on daily life-
including the banning of Christmas and the wearing of plain, simple clothes in dark colours. Many
groups spoke out against him- including the Levellers and the Diggers- but these groups were
dealt with harshly, as were the threats from Ireland and Scotland. When he retired he encouraged
his son to take his position, but unable to live up to the task, some civil war soldiers asked
Charles' son - also Charles to return and restore stability to England. However, because of the
results of the Civil War he had to agree to share power with Parliament

KS3 History 09: From Glorious Revolution to the '45 how united was the
kingdom?
Question How united was the Kingdom between 1688 and 1746?
Expert Between 1688 and 1745 there were many problems in England, Scotland and Ireland- mainly
Teacher caused by religion. The split between Catholics and Protestants that had emerged during the
Answer Reformation continued to divide people. James II was King in 1688, but his Catholic tendencies
caused much trouble. He had similar tendencies to his father- Charles I - in that he felt he could
ignore Parliament. He appointed Catholics to the Privy Council and in 1687 James introduced the
Declaration of Indulgence. This restored rights to Catholics and Dissenting Protestants. People
who protested against the Declaration of Indulgence were sent to prison. When, in 1688, James
forced all the Anglican clergy to read the Declaration in their churches, he met with opposition.
The final straw came with the birth of a son- James - who many claimed had been smuggled into
his wife's room and wasn't their child at all! In 1688 a group of Anglican MPs called for William of
Orange and James' daughter Mary to take the throne as practising Protestants. William arrived in
England with a force of men and James soon fled- his men abandoning him. However he did find
support in France and in the Catholic strongholds of Scotland and Ireland. It was from Ireland that
he decided to launch an attempt to win back his throne in 1689- although William defeated him at
the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. Catholics in Ireland were promised freedom of religion - but in the
years that followed this was not allowed. This became a source of much discontent. In Scotland
William of Orange was similarly hated when he refused to allow investments in Scottish imperial
ventures. However- it was the massacre of the MacDonald Clan at Glencoe that saw highland
hatred for William increase. In 1707 the Act of Union also angered many Scots who wanted to
remain independent. The focal point of Scottish unrest became the son of James II - James
Edward Stuart- who led severall rebellions in the period to 1715- although these all failed. When
he decided to remain in exile- it was his son - Bonnie Prince Charlie who roused Scottish hopes
once more in 1745. He led his men into England - to Preston and as far as Derby - but he was
forced to turn back and despite a gallant victory at Falkirk, the Jacobite cause was effectively
ended at Culloden. However the brutal murder of Scottish clansmen by English troops after this
meant that Scottish hatred towards the Union continued.

Question Why was there a Revolution in France and what were its effects?
Expert Under the Ancien Regime, France was a country where inequality was the norm. The poorest
Teacher people were unfairly taxed and only the King had any say in how the country was run. However,
Answer after a number of wars and because of some excessive spending by his Austrian wife, Louis XVI
ran out of money and he had to call a meeting of the Estates-General to raise new taxes. The
nobles and middle classes said that they wanted a greater say in how things were done. Louis at
first refused, but after the Middle Classes swore their Tennis Court Oath- Louis knew he would
have to agree to their demands. Radical working class people in the towns were also unhappy
with the King and demanded changes. Their unhappiness can be seen when they stormed the
Bastille and made the King accept the Revolution and its changes. One big effect of the
Revolution was the execution of the King who refused to accept all of the changes and tried to
escape from Paris. He was caught at Varennes and despite agreeing to a new constitution, he still
refused to compromise on the Church reforms and was executed in 1792. After this a period of
Terror was started by radical Jacobins who put to death a number of people who disagreed with
the Revolution including Marie Antoinette. The effects on France were devastating and in 1794
the Terror ended. It was finally replaced by the Directory until Napoleon Bonaparte stabilised
France after 1799. The Revolution brought many changes - including the ending of the Monarchy,
and a fair spreading of taxation across all classes.

Question What were the causes of the Industrial Revolution and how far was Britain changed by it?
Expert The Industrial Revolution was caused by many different factors. New businessmen and inventors
Teacher saw a need to move away from the old-fashioned and slow way of doing things under the
Answer domestic system. They wanted to make more money and take advantage of a growing
population. Inventions like the Spinning Jenny and Water Frame saw labour move into big
factories around which towns sprang up. Agricultural workers were also affected as they now had
to move into towns looking for work. Apart from the growth of factories, transport also improved
with the development of canals, roads and railways. There were however many problems,
including unemployment, overcrowded housing in the cities and conditions in the cities were so
poor that they led to the outbreak of diseases like cholera. Dissatisfied workers also attacked the
changes that were taking place - for example the Luddites and the Swing Rioters. However, by
the end of the 19th century things were improving with factory reforms, and with the growth of
railways, providing cheap travel. Interestingly enough, industrialisation did not change all
businesses into big money-making ventures - most businesses in Britain were still small-scale.

Question What was middle class life like in Britain in 1900?

Expert The middle classes emerged in the 19th century having made their fortunes in industry and
Teacher commerce. However, by 1900, the middle classes were occupied in many different types of
Answer employment, ranging from managers to shopkeepers to accountants. The middle classes had
many values. Women were supposed to stay at home and look after the family, whilst men, as
head of the household, went out to work. Family life was strict. Children were supposed to 'be
seen and not heard'. They were looked after by nannies and private tutors, once they were old
enough, or sent to public schools. In 1900, the occupations of the middle class varied. With hard
work, it was possible to progress into the middle class, as proved by Michael Marks, who set up
Marks and Spencer. Other middle class men, like William Henry Charlton, were able to retire early
to pursue their hobbies, such as painting. As 1900 approached, the invention of the tram and the
railway allowed the middle classes to move out of town centres and into the suburbs. These were
brighter places with more trees and fresh air. Middle class housing was spacious to accommodate
families and their servants. Certain rooms in the house were extremely important, most notably
the parlour and the kitchen. With greater wealth, leisure activities became extremely important.
Sports were an integral part of middle class lesiure, with cricket, tennis, croquet, rugby and
football all being given rules in this period, so that the middle classes could compete. Holidays to
the seaside were another aspect of leisure with resorts, like Blackpool and Brighton, catering for
middle and working class holidaymakers. Music halls, once looked down upon by middle class
Victorians, smartened up their image with separate seats and entrances and became very
popular. Middle class women also began to find their voices by 1900. Some started to go out to
work, becoming doctors, teachers and nurses. Other women found a voice in social campaigns,
such as in the Temperance Movement or those against family violence.

KS3 History 13: Mughal India and the coming of the British, 1526-1857 how
did the Mughal Empire rise and fall?
Question What were the successes of the various Mughal leaders and why did the Mughals fall from
power?
Expert The Mughal empire grew from humble beginnings in Turkestan under Babur. Babur embraced
Teacher new technology such as firearms and conquered all of Hindustan and other parts of INdia.
Answer However, it was his grandson, Akbar who managed to build on Babur's foundations and actually
subdue most of India. Akbar was not only a great general but also a good administrator too. As a
Muslim, he practiced religious toleration to other groups - most notably in his abolition of the tax
placed on all-non Muslims. This act was extremely popular. He also allowed Hindu regions to
retain their own customs. Under Akbar and the following rulers, there were many innovations in
architecture- including the building of the Red Palace in Delhi and the Taj Mahal. However, the
extravagance of these projects led to financial problems for the Mughals- something that
weakened their control over the empire. The decline of the Mughul empire can be traced to the
reign of Aurangzeb. THe Mughuls had no clear policy of succession and there was much fighting
about who would lead the empire after Shah Jehan. Aurangzeb ruled for 49 years but under his
reign there was much fighting by various tribes who wanted their independence - including the
Marathas. Aurangzeb was a very strict Muslim and he brought back many of the old laws against
other religions that Akbar had stamped out- inclusing the tax on non- Muslims. This caused great
anger. Sikhs and Marathas formed breakaway governments and there was much in-fighting
amongst the empire. One of the major problems that the Mughul empire faced was from the
arrival of the Europeans- most notably the British. The East India Company set up trading posts in
different areas of India- and gradually introduced more soldiers to guard these. Small Indian
states began to pay money to the Company for military protection. The East India Company
overcame resistance in Bombay, Mysore and Bengal- effectively ruling India. The British had
accelerated the demise of the Mughals. In the 19th century the East India Company gradullay
saw a decline in their influence - because of financial troubles and after the Indian Mutiny of 1857
- where Indians tried to gain independence once more - the British took over control of India under
the Empire.

KS3 History 14: The British Empire how was it that, by 1900, Britain
controlled nearly a quarter of the world?
Question How and why did Britain gain and expand its empire in the period up to 1900- via trade,
exploration, war and missionaries?
Expert By 1900 Britain's empire contained about 400 million people- almost 25% of the world. The
Teacher empire had small beginnings under the Tudors but expanded rapidly in the 18th and 19th
Answer centuries. Britain's merchants had grown in wealth throughout this period and were constantly
looking for new markets abroad. Their production had increased thanks to the Industrial
Revolution and trade flourished with other countries. Politically it made sense to control those
markets and exploit the raw materials that each country had at their disposal. Other European
countries were also looking for colonies - and Britain did not want to get left behind. The jewel in
Britain's colonial empire was India - with its vast population and many natural resources. Initially,
British control expanded through the East India Company who made trading alliances with local
Princes and often helped them in their local disputes with other rulers. The company gained the
right to tax Indians- and gradually took over more and more areas. There were rebellions against
their rule - such as that of Siraj in 1756 and a larger uprising in 1857 - but British wealth and ties
with important Indian princes ensured that India stayed within the empire. The government saw
that it was in the national interest to govern India properly and took over from the East India
Company after the 1857 mutiny. The importance of India was cemented by the opening of the
Suez Canal - which offered a faster way to transport goods between the 2 countries and the
importance of the link was confirmed when Queen Victoria was made Empress of India in 1877.
Individual explorers also helped to expand the empire in their quest for knowledge and resources.
Australia became another vital colony when the east coast was claimed by Cook in 1770. He
continued to chart the Pacific Islands discovering many new lands there. However - Australia
became very important as a colony for its resources and it was also used as a place where Britain
could send its convicts to. Eventually many other people emigrated there and expanded
westwards. America remained part of the empire until 1776- when it fought a war to free itself
from British rule. Britain had colonised America for its resources and to allow religious minority
groups to escape persecution at home. America grew up as 13 states paying tax to the Crown
and fighting with the British against the French. However when the British finally defeated the
French in the late 18th century, many Americans began to question whether they should now
govern themselves. They complained about taxes being too high- and declared independence
from Britain. Britain fought hard to retain America - but eventually had to give in. However it can
be seen that the Empire was worth fighting over. Britain still retained control over Canada though.
In the 19th century - Africa became a focus for the European powers. Resources were plentiful in
some areas- and to many British people the Africans were uncivilised and ripe for colonisation. In
fact religious missionaries like Livingstone discovered many new regions, whilst politicans and
businessmen like Cecil Rhodes were quick to establish business links in the new areas. Britain
quickly gathered many African colonies - although they upset many people in doing so.

KS3 History 16: The franchise why did it take so much longer for British
women to get the vote?
Question Why did it take so much longer for British women to gain the vote?
Expert During the 19th century, a system of separate spheres existed, whereby women were expected to
Teacher look after domestic issues , whereas men were seen to be in control of business, industry and
Answer politics. At the start of the 19th century not all men had the vote - indeed the political system was
flawed- with big towns like Manchester and Liverpool having no MPs whilst rotten boroughs often
returned 2!. Several groups campaigned for change - and there many disturbances in the period
after 1815. There was seen to be a sense of injustice with men like Henry Hunt looking for a shift
of power to the working classes. Events like the Peterloo Massacre and the Spa Fields Riots
showed the government how dangerous working class radicalism could be, and in 1832 the Great
Reform Act was passed - extending the vote to men in boroughs, and giving larger towns more
representation in Parliament. The Act did disappoint though, and groups like teh Chartists forced
more changes in 1867 and 1884 - extending the vote to more men. Women had been involved in
the campaign for the extension of the vote, although few called for female suffrage at that time.
Gradually however, women like Jospehine Butler, Harriet Taylor and Emmeline Pankhurst began
to symbolise a growing discontent with the position of women in society and throughout the latter
half of the 19th century, legal changes began to occur which allowed easier access to divorce,
custody rights over children and the ability to own property. Gradually, attention turned to political
reform. If more men were getting the vote, why not women? Organisations like the Suffragists and
Suffragettes organised petitions and demonstrations, and when these failed the Suffragettes
turned to violence. These tactics did not impress male politicians who imprisoned Suffragettes
that committed violent acts. Once in jail these women then went on hunger strike and were
forcefed, bringing more sympathy to their cause. World War One proved to be a decisive factor in
the campaign for the vote as women threw themselves into war work, making munitions and filling
in for the men who were away. This work won the admiration of the politicans and when the war
was over they extended the vote to men over the age of 18 and women over 30. This did not
please all women, but it was the beginning of more political changes

Question Why has it been so hard to achieve peace in Ireland?

Expert Ireland's troubles have been inextricably linked with the policy of successive British governments
Teacher who have viewed Ireland as strategically important for Britain's defence. In the 17th and 18th
Answer centuries British settlers - Protestant in religion- settled in Northern Ireland driving the native Irish
from their homes and into poverty. Cromwell's armies also massacred many innocent civilians at
Drogheda in 1649- causing more deep seated anger towards the British. In the 19th century
British landlords drove tenants from their farms, and their cruel acts, coupled with the natural
potato famine of the 1840s began to make some Irish nationalists desire some element of Home
Rule- that is control by an Irish rather than an English government. The Prime Minster Gladstone
tried to help the Irish cause but each time his plans were knocked back, the Irish nationalists
became more volatile. As the 20th century began, the IRB had been formed and some wanted to
take home rule by force from the British. During 1916 when WW1 was being force Irish
Nationalists under Collins seized their chance and seized Dublin in the Easter Rising. However
they were crushed by the British army. The period between 1918 and 1922 saw the creation of a
divided Ireland with self government for the South but the North continued to be under British
control. This did not please all and a bitter civil war was fought between those who accepted
partition and those who wanted a full Ireland. Over the next 40 years the Catholics in the North
were discriminated against by Protestants and in teh 60s they began to go on Civil Rights
marches. These often ended in violence as in 1972 when army officers shot dead 13 civilians who
were unarmed. This incident saw an escalation in support for the IRA and more violence forcing
Britain to once more take control of Ireland. THe IRA continued a bombing campaign throughout
the 80s and other measures included hunger strikes in prisons for those nationalists who were
said to be mistreated. The turning point came in 1987 with the bombing of 11 innocent civilians by
the IRA at Enniskillen. The IRA apologised, but it made the British government more resolved for
peace. Several initiatives have been tried - including the Good Ffriday agreement of 1998. This
has proved to be tricky to implement but all sides are working to further peace.

KS3 History 18: Hot war, cold war why did the major twentieth-century
conflicts affect so many people?
Question In what ways did warfare change in the 20th century?

Expert There were many wars in the 20th century including 2 major World Wars. Initially technology
Teacher forced soldiers to fight in trenches and there was only a small chance of civilians in Britain being
Answer attacked. Soldiers had the new weapons of machine guns and gas bombs and towards the end of
the war planes and tanks were being used for the first time. By World War Two- technology had
progressed to such an extent that Hitler was able to use Blitzkrieg effectively - using tanks and
planes. Indeed the plane became a very important weapon as it enabled both Britain and
Germany to bomb innocent civilians in Britain and Germany. The devastation caused by the Blitz
in Britain and by the bombing of Dresden caused untold damage to thousands of citizens. The
introduction of the Atomic Bomb during World War Two was to change the face of war totally.
America dropped 2 of the most powerful bombs ever created on Hiroshima and Nagasaki -
completely destroying these 2 cities and causing radioactive problems for years to come. The
development of these bombs infuriated the Russians who immediately after WW2, began to seize
control of Eastern Europe - notably through the Berlin Blockade and then the creation of the Berlin
Wall. Russia decided that the only way to protect herself was to take control of the countries
around her. A Cold War developed - meaning taht no actual fighting took place - for fear of
nuclear devastation. Russia and America could have caused millions of deaths but incidents such
as the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam War brought the politicians to their senses and
during the 1970s both countries agreed a truce. By the end of the 1990s Communism was almost
dead.

Question How did the Holocaust develop after Hitler wrote Mein Kampf and how did it affect the
Jews of Europe?
Expert The Holocaust is the name given to the victimisation, persecution and mass-murder of Jews in
Teacher Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1945. After losing The First World War, Germany was punished
Answer very harshly by The Treaty of Versailles, and there was a great deal of poverty and starvation in
the country. Hitler, leader of the Nazis, had always hated Jews. He believed that they were
responsible for all the problems in Germany. The people of Germany accepted this because they
were glad to have a scapegoat (someone to blame) for all that had gone wrong. The first major
example of persecution of Jews was introduction of The Nuremberg Race Laws in 1935. It was
then stepped up in November 1938 on The Night of the Broken Glass (Kristallnacht) in which
Jewish shops, businesses, homes and synagogues were destroyed by the SS and Nazi storm-
troopers. Jews were forced to live in ghettos and later, during the war, were sent to concentration
camps. The most notorious concentration camp was Auschwitz, where hundreds of thousands of
Jews were murdered, mostly in the gas chambers. This was not known by most German people
and the true extent of the Holocaust only became known after the war. There were some
examples of opposition and resistance to the Holocaust, but these were usually dealt with so
severely that other people were scared to resist. With The Second World War lost, Nazi officers
fled and Auschwitz was liberated by the Soviet Union. They found a sickening trail of suffering
and death which remains probably the most shocking act of mass murder in history.

Question How far has modern medicine developed to improve the lives of 20th century people?
Expert At the start of the 20th century, healthcare was not free and a person could only receive treatment
Teacher if they could afford it. Healthcare was not specialised- with doctors being general medical
Answer advisors. The Liberal governments between 1906-1918, spurred by problems of national
efficiency and the rise of the Labour Party, created a series of reforms which improved public
health in Britain. Reforms were passed in Housing, Education and Welfare and became the basis
of later developments in the NHS. Medical advances also emerged after WW1. Penicillin was
invented and refined and became important in the curing of many diseases and infections.
Vaccinations for diseases like TB and Polio were found, and X-rays helped patients in hospitals.
Perhaps the biggest advance in medical care came with the establishment of the NHS in 1948 by
Aneurin Bevan. This established the principle of free healthcare for all - no matter what their
ability to pay. All healthcare services were put under one roof- and over the next 40 years
pioneering scientists began to discover new methods for transplants, and worked on cures for
other major diseases. However, the NHS suffered problems after 1951, when it was discovered
that it cost too much money. Prescriptions and dental treatment have to be paid for and
throughout the 1970s and 1980s hospitals have found themselves in debt and with long waiting
queues for operations. The Labour governments from 1998 onwards have tried to tackle this
issue by granting more money to the healthcare authorities but there is still a long way to go to
realise Aneurin Bevan's dream. World Healthcare is a far cry from Britain's NHS - with many
developing world people suffering from diseases that we have long since stamped out. Poverty
and a lack of investment is a problem and charities like Oxfam and Unicef are working to bring an
end to the problems that these countries are facing. Medical advances have brought many
changes to the lives of many people, but financial restraints still play a large part in healthcare
throughout the world.

KS3 History 21: From Aristotle to the atom scientific discoveries that
changed the world?
Question How significant have the scientific changes since the 17th century been in changing the
world?
Expert Until the scientific revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries, science tended to be seen as
Teacher mystical - and was seen to support the religious theories of the various churches throughout the
Answer world. Aristotle's model of the solar system stood out as the major scientific theory on the subject-
and this had been recorded in 350 b.c. Aristotle saw the earth as being the centre of the universe
with the sun and all the planets revolving around it. However - his theories were challenged by
Copernicus - who proved that it was the earth that revolved around the sun. His theories were
extremely controversial. Religious scholars did not like the fact that humans were no longer the
centre as it cast doubts over God's work. His work also raised questions such as how could the
earth be moving since people did not fall off the planet! Copernicus' ideas gave the impetus for
many more experiments and scientific discoveries. Galileo proved Copernicus' ideas with his
telescope- but this got him in trouble with the Catholic Church who forced him to retract his views
and put him under house arrest for the rest of his life! The scientific revolution also gave rise to
men such as Isaac Newton - who was able to explain the ideas of Copernicus and Galileo when
he proved the theory of gravity- this is what kept people on the planet when it was spinning so
quickly. He also established a universal system of scientifc laws which allowed scientists to make
exact discoveries. His work was essential to the rest of the scientific revolution. Men such as
Hooke and Boyle worked hard to make advances in physics and natural sciences, whilst others
such as William Harvey made great strides in developing modern surgical techniques- finding out
about blood circulation for example. He received great renown for this- particularly in the later
years of his life. The 19th century saw an even greater surge of scientific discovery - led by
Darwin - who produced his theory of evolution following his voyage on the Beagle to discover new
life forms. Darwin's theories continue to be controversial to this day. He stated that all life had
evolved from a single source and that via natural selection some species have a greater ability to
survive. His theories were attacked by religious leaders who felt that he was calling into question
the Bible and its theories of creation. Scientists strongly defended him- but even in the 20th
century his work has caused many debates- from the Scopes Monkey trial of 1925 in the USA to
the racial theories behind Naziism. In medical research men like Pasteur and Koch advanced
medicine through germ research - proving that diseases were passed by germs. Pasteur
developed vaccinations- an important aspect of 20th century medicine. Koch was able to isolate
the germs that caused particular diseases - finding cures for the biggest diseases of his day-
anthrax and tb. Their work was groundbreaking in the medical world and led on to further
developments in the 20th century. Perhaps the greatest 20th century achievement in science
came in 1911 when Ernest Rutherford split the atom in Manchester. He was able to formulate
atomic theory - which led on to the harnessing of nuclear energy. This has many uses - from the
medical uses of radioactivity- including scanning and treatments for cancer, to the development of
nuclear power- which is a more reliable, yet dangerous form of energy for the world. However,
Rutherford's work did pave the way for the Manhatten Project of the 1940s - where Enrico Formi
and J. Robert Oppenheimer were able to develop an atomic bomb - used to terrible effect in
Hiroshima and Nagasaki - casting a shadow over world affairs for the next 40 years

Question In what ways did Hitler change twentieth century history?

Expert To many historians, Hitler is the most evil leader of the 20th century. He instigated a Second
Teacher World War which saw the deaths of millions and he set up a regime in Germany that was
Answer characterised by fear and terror. His biggest crime, however, was the forced extermination of
many racial groups - most notably the Jews of Europe in the Holocaust. However, these were not
the only changes that Hitler brought to the world. To many contemporaries, this was a man who
revived Germany after financial problems at the end of the 1920s, and who constantly opposed
the hated Treaty of Versailles- forcing European leaders to back down to Germany's demands.
Many Germans were prepared to overlook the more unsavoury aspects of his regime as they had
full employment, better facilities and the best motorways in Europe. Germany was a major power
in Europe once more and its economy was successful. All of this appeared to be due to one man.
His actions though can be seen as rather hypocritical - as it became clear during the Second
World War, that Germany's progress had been geared to the sole aim of expanding its borders
and creating war in Europe. This was what motivated Hitler - along with his extremely racist
views. His most terrible legacy can be seen in the Holocaust which followed on from the most
terrible aspects of his police state in Germany. Concentration camps had been set up for
opponents of the Nazis in 1933 - and people were tortured, beaten up and killed for merely
speaking their views. Hitler's propaganda glossed over these things. His SS officers became an
even greater instrument of terror to the Jews of Germany who were persecuted in the years
leading up to WW2 - all because of Hitler's beliefs. As WW2 commenced Jews were taken to
concentration camps, and when other countries such as Poland and Russia were invaded and the
Jews under Hitler's control grew - he came up with an appalling 'Final Solution' - the murder of 6
million innocent civilians. Extermination camps were set up with gas chambers- and Jews were
sent by rail to these death camps, from all over Europe. Gypsies, homosexuals and other racial
groups were also targeted. Hitler's beliefs and motivations certainly changed the shape of the
twentieth century - progress in Germany before 1939 was used to create evil in the years of the
2nd World War
