Was Castro's regime successful in improving the rights of women during the revolution. Support with evidence from Dennett.
Relatively. Women originally were home bound, however, during the revolution, women were able to spread propaganda, sew uniforms, smuggle weapons and participate in the fighting
Outline the Schlieffen Plan as stated by Dennett, and why it was so problematic.
Used as a result of a two-front war. Germany would push through Belgium, a neutral country. Germany's thoughts surrounding Britain maintaining neutrality was problematic as it only led to a new enemy for Germany to face.
What were the German and British outcomes/perspectives towards the Battle of the Somme raised by Brown.
The Germans saw the need to avoid another Battle like the Somme, while the British took a morale victory (surprise surprise) which boosted their troops overall morale.

How did decisions from the "top brass" from both the French and British armies negatively effect their abilities at the Third Battle of Ypres. ( I need one example from each nation as mentioned by Dennett)
- The removal of the French commander-in-chief, Robert Neville, and the replacement with Phillipe Petain led to disillusionment, which in turn led to mutinies and thus resulted in Britain having to carry most of the weight of the offensive.
- Haig's decisions to relieve the French, led to the deaths of thousands of British soldiers, not helped by the constant shelling and the worst rain in 30 years)
