Paper 2, Option 2B.2: The Dutch Revolt, c1563–1609 Edexcel A Level History revision notes

These revision notes were specially written to give Edexcel A Level History students a comprehensive overview of the key knowledge from the specification for Paper 2, Option 2B.2: The Dutch Revolt, c1563–1609

They are written in line with the exact headings and content specified within the exam specification to ensure they are complete, robust and cover each corner of the syllabus.

The four parts of the specification for this unit are:

1 Origins of the Dutch Revolt, c1563–67
2 Alva and Orange, 1567–73
3 Spain and the reconquest, 1573–84
4 Securing the independence of the United Provinces, 1584–1609

They are especially useful for students whose note-taking in lesson isn’t as good as others, or whose organisational skills mean they are missing notes/handouts on certain topics/areas. These notes will certainly help reduce the time it takes them to catch up with their peers, and also students like to use these as a checklist of topics to go into in further detail.

Hopefully these notes help to save your students (and you!) some time in the hectic run up to exams. Thanks for taking a look :)
