Two recent questions on Ireland are worth looking at together. The 2024 paper dealt with the Liberal Party’s handling of Ireland during 1886–94. In 2025, the question went much further back, to the Act of Union in 1801 and its impact on Irish nationalism. The questions on Britain’s shrinking empire have been just as varied. Decolonization was linked with World War II and the Cold War in 2024, but the 2026 paper wanted students to weigh the influence of foreign pressures against decisions taken within Britain. More recent events have found their way into the exam as well. New Labor and the 2008 financial crisis came up in 2025, followed by questions about Maastricht and Britain’s refusal to adopt the euro in 2026.
