2 0470/04/M/J/08 © UCLES 2008 DEPTH STUDY A: GERMANY, 1918-1945 1 Study the sources, and then answer the questions which follow. Source A Youth is still in favour of the system: the novelty, the drill, the uniform, the camp life. Many believe that they will find job opportunities through the persecution of the Jews and Communists. For the first time the state controls the young people in the countryside through the SA and the Hitler Youth. The new generation has never had much use for education and reading. Now nothing is demanded of them; on the contrary, knowledge is publicly condemned. They are so fanatical that they believe in nothing but their Hitler. From reports by the Social Democratic Party in exile, 1934. Source B There were boys from all classes of families, though mainly middle class and workers. There were no social or class distinctions, which I approved of very much. There was no direct political indoctrination until later after Hitler came to power. We did march in parades and hated the SPD but that was all part of it. When I became a leader, I found the absolute obedience unpleasant, and found that people were expected not to have a will of their own. From recollections of Hitler Youth members. (a) (i) Study Source A. What can you tell from this source about the Hitler Youth? Support your answer with reference to the source. [6] (ii) Study Source B. How far does this source show that young people were strong supporters of the Nazi Party? Explain your answer. [7] (iii) Study both sources. Is one of these sources more useful than the other as evidence about the Hitler Youth organisation? Explain your answer. [7] (b) (i) What was the Enabling Act? [2] (ii) Describe Nazi policies towards women in Germany. [4] (iii) Why did Hitler introduce a new curriculum in schools? [6] (iv) How successful was the Nazi Government in its control of German society after 1933? Explain your answer. [8]

Source A We were constructing an army all over again and fighting at the same time. What was needed for this? It needed good commanders – a few dozen experienced fighters, a dozen or so Communists ready to make any sacrifice. Boots for the bare-footed, a bath house, propaganda, food, underwear, tobacco and matches were needed for the troops. Trotsky writing about the creation of the Red Army. Source B Trotsky took a practical approach. He appointed former army officers who were willing to serve in the Red Army because their skills were vital. He resorted to conscription because a larger army was needed to defeat the Whites. Trotsky recognised that the morale and loyalty of the army was as essential as its skills and size. The core of the army always consisted of dedicated volunteers. The appointment of party members at every level encouraged dedication to the cause. Harsh discipline was used to make sure the troops stayed loyal. From a British history book, 1990. (a) (i) Study Source A. What can you tell from this source about the early days of the Red Army? Support your answer with reference to the source. [6] (ii) Study Source B. How far does this source show that members of the Red Army were supporters of the Bolshevik cause? Explain your answer. [7] (iii) Study both sources. Is one of these sources more useful than the other as evidence about the Red Army? Explain your answer. [7] (b) (i) Name two countries which sent troops against the Bolsheviks in the Russian Civil War. [2] (ii) What were the main terms of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, 1918? [4] (iii) Why did Lenin introduce War Communism? [6] (iv) How far was Trotsky’s leadership the reason for the Bolshevik victory in the Russian Civil War? Explain your answer. [8]

Source B The 18th Amendment and the Volstead Act were enforced in the United States wherever they had popular support. In the rural South and West, Prohibition was effective and in some cases still is but it has been said that the only effect of Prohibition was to replace good beer with bad gin. In 1931 a Federal Commission showed that in the big cities the law was openly defied and in the smaller towns, populated by miners and industrial workers, the law was simply ignored. The federal government never had more than 2500 agents enforcing the law. In one year in New York 7000 arrests for liquor violations resulted in 17 convictions. A view of Prohibition published by an American Church in 1962.

6 0470/04/M/J/08 © UCLES 2008 DEPTH STUDY D: CHINA, 1945-c.1990 4 Study the sources, and then answer the questions which follow. Source A In the long term, the Great Leap Forward meant that China could feed its population without famine. The communes had proved to be a successful innovation. They were much more than collective farms – they were an efficient unit of local government and they enabled Beijing to keep in touch with local opinion. The communes seemed to be the ideal solution to the problems of running a vast country while at the time avoiding the over-centralisation that limits local initiatives. From a British history book, 1997. Source B Trucks used to turn up at the compound carrying grinning peasants coming to report on some fantastic, record-breaking achievement. One day it was a monster cucumber half as long as a truck. Another time it was a tomato carried with difficulty by two children. On another occasion it was a giant pig squeezed into a truck. The peasants claimed they had bred an actual pig this size. The pig was only made of papier-mâché but as a child I imagined it was real. People had learned to defy reason and live with acting. From a Chinese writer’s account of life during the Great Leap Forward, given in 1991. (a) (i) Study Source A. What can you tell from this source about communes? Support your answer with reference to the source. [6] (ii) Study Source B. How far does this source show that the Great Leap Forward was a success? Explain your answer. [7] (iii) Study both sources. Is one of these sources more useful than the other as evidence about the Great Leap Forward? Explain your answer. [7] (b) (i) What were the ‘barefoot doctors’? [2] (ii) Describe how a collective farm was organised. [4] (iii) Why did Mao Zedong introduce the Hundred Flowers campaign in 1956 and abandon it in 1957? [6] (iv) How far did the Communist Government improve the lives of Chinese people between 1949 and 1960? Explain your answer. [8]

7 0470/04/M/J/08 © UCLES 2008 [Turn over DEPTH STUDY E: SOUTHERN AFRICA IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY 5 Study the sources, and then answer the questions which follow. Source A An English school textbook published in 1914 said, ‘During the later stages of the war the families, women and children of those Boers still fighting were fed and cared for in refugee camps at British expense. This method, though humane, postponed the end of the war, at the expense of many valuable lives and money.’ How very generous of the British to care for those whose houses, whose crops and whose animals they destroyed! From an Afrikaans website, 2005. Source B To end the war Boers agreed to lay down their weapons and accept the British king as their sovereign. The British agreed that no Boer would lose his freedom or property. Dutch as well as English would be taught in schools. No special taxes would be imposed in South Africa to pay for the war and the British would give £3 000 000 to restore the country. It was also agreed that there would be no vote for the Bantu or Coloureds until there was a representative government. From a British history of the Second Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902), published in 1977. (a) (i) Study Source A. What can you tell from this source about the later stages of the Second Anglo-Boer War? Support your answer with reference to the source. [6] (ii) Study Source B. How far does this source show that the British won the Second Anglo-Boer War? Explain your answer. [7] (iii) Study both sources. Is one of these sources more useful than the other as evidence of the effects on the Boers of the Second Anglo-Boer War? Explain your answer. [7] (b) (i) Name two Boer military leaders in the Second Anglo-Boer War. [2] (ii) What were blockhouses and how did the British use them? [4] (iii) Why did many non-whites oppose the formation of the Union of South Africa in 1910? [6] (iv) ‘From 1880 to 1914 economic changes had far greater impact on the African peoples than the conflicts between the British and the Boers.’ How far do you agree? Explain your answer. [8]

Source A Jewish immigration figures to Palestine, 1931-1939. Year Number of immigrants 1931 4 075 1932 9 553 1933 30 327 1934 42 359 1935 61 854 1936 29 727 1937 10 536 1938 12 868 1939 16 405 Total 217 704 Figures taken from the ESCO foundation – an organisation working for a Palestinian state shared by Jews and Palestinians, published in 1947. Source B When Britain refused to let the Jews come to the Promised Land in 1945/6 they attacked British soldiers inside Palestine. They whipped up international sympathy by chartering some old merchant ships and filling them up with Jewish Misplaced Persons. They then defied the British blockade. The world was therefore deeply shocked when the British turned away a ship, the Exodus, packed with 4500 Jews who had survived the Nazi death camps and now had to live as stateless people in the depths of Europe. Some of the old merchant ships were also sunk by the British. A summary of events, quoted by a British historian in 1987. Source C While in Jerusalem I learned that a boat called the Exodus had attempted to deliver 4500 Jewish refugees – including 600 children, mostly orphans – but was attacked by five British destroyers and a cruiser. When the Exodus entered harbour it looked like a matchbox splintered by a nutcracker. An American journalist writing in 1947.

12 0470/04/M/J/08 © UCLES 2008 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 All the powers promise to watch over the preservation of native tribes, and to care for the improvement of conditions of their moral and material well-being and to help in the suppressing of slavery and the slave trade. They shall protect all religious, scientific, or charitable institutions which aim at instructing the natives and clearly showing them the advantages of civilisation. Christian missionaries, scientists and explorers shall be given special protection. From the terms agreed at the Berlin Conference of 1884-5. Source B I go back to Africa to try to open a path for commerce and Christianity. Will you carry on the work which I have begun? Dr. Livingstone in a speech at Cambridge University in 1857. Source C Of the Europeans that scrambled for control of Africa at the end of the nineteenth century, Belgium’s King Leopold left possibly the most horrid legacy of all. While Great Powers competed for territory elsewhere, Leopold carved his own private colony out of the Central African rainforest. He claimed he was doing it to protect the natives from Arab slavers and to open the heart of Africa to Christian missionaries. Instead he turned his ‘Congo Free State’ into a massive labour camp, made a fortune from wild rubber and contributed in a large way to the deaths of perhaps 10 million innocent people. Former BBC correspondent to Central Africa, 2005.
