3 0470/4/M/J/03 [Turn over DEPTH STUDY B: RUSSIA, 1905-41 2 Study the sources, and then answer the questions which follow. Source A Stalin is untrustworthy and will do anything to keep power.

Bukharin, speaking in private, 1928. Source B People are sick of Stakhanov, quite apart from whether they approve – as some do – or disapprove of him.

4 0470/4/M/J/03 DEPTH STUDY C: THE USA, 1919-41 3 Study the sources, and then answer the questions which follow. Source A We must go on or we will go backward; there is no standing still. We will continue relieving distress by employing those without jobs on public works, by social security, by soil conservation, and by helping farmers. I don’t think these things are ruining our country. I think they are making it more genuinely democratic, and a far better place in which to live. I think they are protecting us from foreign ideologies which we naturally oppose. From a nationwide radio broadcast by Harry L Hopkins, Head of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), 1938. Source B Sharecroppers fail in the South because they are not good farmers. They are incompetent because they are not healthy and because they are ignorant. They need education, better diet, better medical care and organisation. Their poor diet is a major cause of the laziness for which they are often criticised. They have lived for generations in mosquito-infested and insanitary surroundings. Living quarters available for farm workers in the South are far worse that in the worst slums of the cities. Federal funds are essential to improve matters. From a report by the National Recovery Administration (NRA) on farm tenancy, 1937. (a) (i) Study Source A.

[6] (iv) ‘The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) was the most successful of all the New Deal agencies.’ Do you agree? Explain your answer. [8]

Among them were sixteen colonels and nearly three hundred other junior officers. All brought rifles with them. From an article by an American reporter, based in Shanghai, 1948.

Source A By 1990 over four thousand people had been killed on the streets since 1985 and fifty thousand people were in prison without trial. Troops were stationed in the townships. The economy was in deep trouble and the National Party had the worst election results since 1948. The government held several secret meetings with Mandela and the ANC leaders. The two sides got on well. From a British school textbook written in 1997. Source B The ANC wants the assassination of policemen, members of the defence forces, black town councillors, and anyone else who disagrees with them. It intends to wipe out Inkatha and other black groups who oppose its tactics. They have hacked people to death, people have been necklaced and their houses burnt to the ground.

7 0470/4/M/J/03 [Turn over DEPTH STUDY F: ISRAELIS AND PALESTINIANS, 1945 – c.1994 6 Study the sources, and then answer the questions which follow. Source A A special study ought to be made of the responsibility of Cairo Radio for the disaster which overtook Egypt in 1967. Propaganda was both Nasser’s strength and weakness. This was understood after the military defeat. The main effect of Cairo Radio broadcasts on the Arabs was that expectations were raised so much that promises to destroy Israel had to be kept. From a British history textbook of the 1980s. Source B The problem for the Arab countries is not whether the port of Eilat should be blockaded or how to blockade it – but how to exterminate the state of Israel for all time. From a speech by Nasser to the Egyptian parliament, 25 May 1967. (a) (i) Study Source A. What can you tell from this source about the effects of propaganda in the 1967 crisis?

A doctor is writing about a street in the city of Liverpool. Source B The construction of sewers in London, 1844.

10 0470/4/M/J/03 DEPTH STUDY H: THE IMPACT OF WESTERN IMPERIALISM IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY 8 Study the sources, and then answer the questions which follow. Source A British Africa was acquired not by groups of financiers nor by the efforts of statesmen, but in spite of them. It was the will of the British people which compelled us to take our share. Lord Lugard, a British colonial administrator of the late nineteenth century. Source B A Pink Cheek man came one day to our council. He came, from afar, from where many of their people lived in houses made of stone and where they had their own council. He sat in our midst and he told us of the King of the Pink Cheek, who was a great king and lived in a land over the seas. ‘This great king is now your king,’ he said, ‘and this land is all his land, though he says you may live on it as you are his people.’ This was strange news. For this land was our land. We had no king, we elected our councils and they made our laws. With patience, our elders tried to tell this to the Pink Cheek, and he listened. But at the end he said, ‘This we know, but, in spite of this, what I have told you is a fact. You now have a king, and his laws are your laws.’ An African describes the arrival of colonial administration, 1902. (a) (i) Study Source A.
