RGS Y2 History Notes

These were note I compiled for Y2 History EYAs:) They basically compile what we learnt in History in Y2! Honestly, if you lack time, please don't cram the entire document - it's just way too long for it - just refer to the 'tldr' sections below; they pretty much summarise everything. Also, sorry for the lack of capitalisation and spelling errors - I couldn't figure out how to get my autocorrect to work in time:'). Hope these help! Contents: 1. the second labour front government

• the merdeka talks
• the 1959 elections (the rise of the PAP)

2. the merger with malaya

• the PAP’s reasoning behind pursuing the merger
• malaya’s reaction
• opposition to merger
• the formation of malaysia
• the separation from malaysia

3. post-independance

• security
• economy
