Hello. I am currently doing my History exam. I need to revise for it! I was wondering whether there were:

• any links for flashcards on Battle of Hastings
  
• any particular site that has information on Medival Life
  
• any documentaries on the Black Death
  
• any documantaries on the death of Thomas Becket

If you could help by finding any of these it would help a lot!
Thanks

For videos about history there is a really good site called TimelinesTV. They have lots of films to watch including this one on the Black Death. There is another one on Thomas Becket here.

A really good site for historical information is the History Learning Site. The index to the section on Medieval England is on this page.

Another idea would be to do a forum search on the topics in which you are interested and then follow the links.

Hope that this helps.

sorry but do you know any historians that do the russian revolution

[MrJohnDClare]

As a personal reading/information book, the book I always recommend (and which I enjoyed reading) is Orlando Figes, A People's Tragedy: The Russian Revolution, 1891-1924.
On Russian Revolution historiography, try this.

Hi,

 

I wondered if you could help me with a few things that I am not getting in the India topic. (Standard Grade)

 

I am not sure exactly what the Raj is, apart from that i means British Rule, do I need to know any more than that?

 

Also I know that there was certain rules that Indian people had to follow but what were they?

 

Finally, what does Satyagraha mean?

 

Thanks so much for all your help,

Callum.

The term 'Raj' means the whole system of British rule in India - that is the whole of what you have been studying.

 

On the rules that Indian people had to follow, there is the Salt Tax, of course, but I have not been able to find anywhere a 'list of repressions' such as you seem to want. I will go looking and will get back to you if I can find one.

 

Satyagraha was Gandhi's method of resistance to British rule.
