History Paper 2 Notes (HL/SL)

This is a compilation of mind maps I used to study for History Paper 2. This is by no means a comprehensive selection of details, but I feel the range of case studies and examples are sufficient to tackle any possible questions that may be tested. Each page shows possible examples and details for a certain topic and case study from a country, as seen in the IB syllabus. The broad topics explored are Emergence, Development, and Impact/Policies.

Topics explored are Topic 9 (Evolution and development of democratic states) and Topic 10 (Authoritarian state). The case studies are Weimar Germany and post-war Japan for Topic 9, as well as Nazi Germany and China under Mao's rule for Topic 10.
