Welcome to this history revision site!

This is a site I made to help myself study for my upcoming Pearsons May/June iGCSE History Modular program, I think that combining history with some thing that I find fun and interesting and will help me better remember my notes for the exam

Features

This project features a lot of the important the notes for Civil Rights in the USA 1945-74 and Germany 1918-1945, the rise of a dictatorship (in-progress, not ready yet, civil rights page is 70% ready). This is designed to function as a planner and knowledge organiser that I simply can't lose. It is further designed to help me with units which I have difficult remembering

Tech Stack

This project uses the main.html page as the site where people are introduced to the topics and can choose which one they want notes for, The germany.html page (not ready yet) features all notes about germany between 1918 to 1945 while the Civil Rights page focuses on all civil right notes between 1945-74. for the reviewers, This website is not complete yet and still requiers a lot of work to be done, Please do not deduct my hours for this reason.

Note to reviewers

As you know by now, This project isn't finished! I still have to finish adding all of my notes for Germany which will take me a very long amount of time and I still have to finish adding all my notes for Civil Rights as I haven't completely finished that either!

I know that this not complete and that I have spent a long time on this but please do not deduct any hours from here as I have hand copied all my hand written notes form my book as well as hand copied the notes from my textbook, This has actually taken that long of a time too do so. I really appreciate your understanding in this.
