For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!

At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What is a quote that summarizes the idea that it was the impossible expectations preceding the Peace Treaties made them seem like they'd failed rather than the Treaties themselves?
What were the two false assumptions that the allies based the Treaty of Versailles on?
- Perhaps true militarily; although not case in Russia
- However economic potential and political ideas that had driven recent expansion had not been addressed
Pre-existing problems before 1914 had been resolved; and ground was clear for a just and enlightened re-ordering of European Politics
- Bitter German resentment of peace-treaty; especially idea of German 'war-guilt'
What was the main reason why Germany didn't accept the Treaty of Versailles?
- Armies had been victorious in Russia: gained valuable lands in western Russia in March 1918
- Attacks on the Western Front had been some of the most successful before the Summer of 1918
- German Western forces not destroyed in massive battle
November 1918: Germany HAD NOT LOST but just felt she was UNLIKELY TO WIN:
- Allies had fresh American support
- Germany was suffering domestic unrest
- Germany had insufficient supplies (due in part to effective British military block)
What fear of German military commanders which contributed to the outbreak of the First World War, was increased by the Treaty of Versailles?
- Germany faced a well-armed and hostile France to the west; who was determined not to relive her 1870 and 1914 fate.
- Nations created by the League of Nations (like Poland) hemmed in the East
- Beyond those nations lay Communist Russia.
Why did the German government sign the Armistice if they weren't totally defeated?
Why did Germany sign the Treaty of Versailles?
- German government faced many domestic problems
- The severe British naval blockade meant they were short of food
- November 1918 Armistice terms made it necessary that Germans would have to accept peace; for example withdrawal of German forces beyond Rhine and internment of fleet
It was out of desperation and internal factors that therefore led them to sign the Treaty of Versailles.
What event in the 1920s increased tension over the Treaty of Versailles?
When did Germany openly explain its dissatisfaction with the Treaty of Versailles in the 1920s?
What were the three methods that the Allies used in trying to enforce the Treaty of Versailles?
- Force the terms upon Germany - 1923, invasion of the Ruhr
- Persuade Germans into grudging acceptance
- Using American 'economic' diplomacy to fund German stability -1924 Dawes Plan; although this broke down after the Great Depression
What did Woodrow Wilson hope the Treaty of Versailles would be?
