Edexcel A Level History British Empire Key Knowledge
This (40+ page!) document includes key information in all areas of the third A Level History paper for Edexcel, British Empire. It is divided as follows:
America, Australia, Canada, India, Egypt, Navy & Trade, Role of the Navy
It could be used quite well as a starting point for making flashcards, since most of the key facts are there. The later subjects are divided more into “Essay-type” notes, since for some topics there are only 2-3 essay questions which can be asked (e.g. Egypt), but don’t let this fool you! Make sure you revise EVERY topic! For my exams, India came up for a THIRD year in a row, and you can imagine how everyone felt after saying “It won’t come up again” and didn’t revise it.

This (7+ page) timeline is for the British Empire section of the Edexcel A Level History exam. However, it is rather limited in terms of information.

Perhaps you can do something better with it than I did!
PS: The thumbnail is only the first page!
