Higher Bockstein maps in group cohomology

Let $p$ be an odd prime and $n>1$. I am trying to understand why the cohomology ring $H^{\ast}(\mathbb{Z}/p^n;\mathbb{F_p})$ is given by $$\mathbb{F}_p[y]\otimes\Lambda(x),$$ with $|x|=1,|y|=2$ and ...

How does the Steenrod algebra act on $\mathrm{H}^\bullet(p^{1+2}_+, \mathbb{F}_p)$?

Let $p$ be an odd prime. The $\mathbb F_p$ cohomology of the cyclic group of order $p$ is well-known: $\mathrm{H}^\bullet(C_p, \mathbb F_p) = \mathbb F_p[\xi,x]$ where $\xi$ has degree 1, $x$ has ...
