задержка как смерть - 'delay is like death'

This is the revision blog for Year 12 history students to discuss, debate and ask questions about the topics related to the Peter the Great AS Unit. This is an excellent opportunity to reflect on the work that has been completed and will allow students to engage with each other as well as the teacher moderators who will provide stimulus and support throughout the process. A blog is a particularly good medium for 24 mark questions as they provide an opportunity to build an argument and respond to different interpretations.

We will be using this blog as preparation for a timed essay question next lesson on the following question:


'Russia's success in the Great Northern War of 1700-1721 was due mainly to Peter the Great's reform of the army and navy' Explain why you agree or disagree with this view

Your task is to post up what you consider to be your most important argument first of all and justify why you have made that choice.

You can also respond to other posts and argue either in support or against them. You must use evidence to back up the points that you make.

Once the discussion has ended you should use the posts as the basis for your revision for this question which you will complete next lesson.
