IEB notes from 2019

Now I gave you a little taster in the USSR note, but this is Cold War China in all its glory. Summarised of course, I wouldn’t do you guys dirty like that. Plus the USSR’s reactions to events in China, just to make sure you kids get the full picture. .

China during this period wasn’t, to put it lightly, the most amazing neighbour ever but how would you know that unless you get these notes? China’s relations with the Taiwan, Tibet, India and Vietnam it’s all here. So, if you want to know all the juicy details/ have to know them for school (more likely) these are the notes for you.

Got to love the smell of early Cold War in the morning. This is a big section so your girl here has summarised it for you to cover the first ¾ of the Cold War (from 1927 to 1961) and as a bonus it includes relevant events in China and Cuba.

What's better than some banging notes on the Africa section? All of the banging notes of the Africa section. So, here’s the full summary of the section just for you.

Right here is your one-stop-shop for Tanzania. This ultra-summarised note contains all the relevant information you need to impress your teachers and ace that exam however, how to deal with the fame you will gain from this is something you’ll have to figure out on your own.

Right Congo time. This is a confusing section, and do you know what you need to understand it? These notes. This summary includes context on the colonial legacy in Congo, relevant post-colonial interests as well as in depth information on the social and economic issues faced by the country post-independence. It also includes no irrelevant information so as not to waste your time; although I suggest you look up Mobutu’s full name because it is spectacular.

Right kids what we've got here is a hot summary of the Angolan war, a period of time that is messier than I am on a Saturday night. Included is context as to the political parties within Angola during the war as well as the role of international interests; get you a mans who looks at you the way Cold War players looked at Angola.
