Congratulations! Junior year blogging for IB History is complete. Hopefully those of you who had difficulties will continue to work on resolving those for next year. This will be a process we will continue to use to further expose you to the style of questions and markschemes used by IB. Please don't loose the link here, we will continue our work in August.
I will leave these posts here as a way to review for next May's tests. I hope you have found this process helpful, even if you did not fully participate in the process.
If you have questions that arise this summer you can reach me via email - just allow some time for responses as I am out of town and not always on the school email.
What follows is the final markscheme for the Russian Revolution posting.
MARKSCHEME: Analyse the reasons for the success of the Bolsheviks in the second (October/November) 1917 Russian Revolution.
The Provisional Government consisted of members of the forth Duma and assumed power in a
system of dyarchy after the fall of Tsarism in the February/March 1917 Russian Revolution.
Reasons for its overthrow, and success of the Bolsheviks in the second (October/November) 1917
Revolution could include: its lack of authority or endorsement; weakness, failure to address
problems such as land reform and war; Kornilov affair; the power and rising support for the
Soviets; the opposition of Lenin and his determination to oust it; continued participation in the First
World War; disintegration of the army; food shortages, riots and general disorder; German support
for Lenin, sending him back in a sealed train and giving him financial support; organization of
Trotsky and Lenin resulting in the ousting of the Provisional Government in a Bolshevik coup,
which enabled the Bolsheviks to obtain power albeit in a limited geographical area in
October/November 1917
