2 0470/41/O/N/10 © UCLES 2010 DEPTH STUDY A: GERMANY, 1918–1945 1 Study the sources, and then answer the questions which follow. Source A As a public speaker, Goebbels was soon second in the Nazi movement only to Hitler. Where Hitler’s style was hoarse and passionate, Goebbels’ was cool and often humorous, although he could whip himself into frenzy if the occasion demanded. Goebbels openly acknowledged that he was exploiting the lowest instincts of the German people – racism, hatred of foreigners, class envy and insecurity. He could, he said, lead the masses wherever he wanted them to go. From a German historian, 1995. Source B We will eliminate excessive organisation of broadcasting as quickly as possible, replacing it with simplicity and economy. We will make radio the most flexible means of expressing the wishes, needs, longings and hopes of our age. We want radio that reaches the people, radio that works for the people, radio that also reaches across our borders to give the world a picture of our life and work. We do not intend to use the radio only for our purposes. We want room for entertainment, popular arts, games, jokes, and music. Everything should include the theme of our great reconstructive work, or at least not stand in its way. Above all, it is necessary to clearly centralise all radio activities, to place spiritual tasks ahead of technical ones, to introduce the leadership principle and to provide a clear world view. Goebbels, speaking at a radio exhibition, August 1933. (a) (i) Study Source A. What can you tell from this source about Goebbels? Support your answer with reference to the source. [6] (ii) Study Source B. How far does this source show that the radio was to be used to control German people? Explain your answer. [7] (iii) Study both sources.

Source A We go around all dressed in rags While the rest of the world goes neat, And we have to be satisfied With half enough to eat. We have to live in lean-tos Or else we live in a tent, For when we buy our bread and beans There’s nothing left for rent. We go to Mr Farmer And ask him what he’ll pay; He says, ‘You gypsy workers Can live on a dollar a day.’ We don’t ask for luxuries Or even a feather bed. But we’re bound to raise our voices While our families are underfed. From a 1930s song called ‘I’d Rather Not Be On Relief’. Source B In June 1932 peaceful marches by nearly 8 000 of the ex-military began in Washington. This ‘Bonus Army’ had come from all parts of the United States to ask the government to make immediate payment of the bonus they had been promised in 1924 for their part in the First World War. Although this was not due to be paid until 1945, the Democrat-controlled Congress agreed but the Senate refused. The men set up a camp of shacks and tents near the centre of Washington for their families. By July, nearly 20 000 people lived there and the marches continued. In July, Hoover ordered the camps demolished. Two police officers and two of the ex-military were killed in the riot that followed. President Hoover then brought in the Army to ‘put an end to the defiance of authority’. The Third Cavalry advanced on the veterans, their wives and children, followed by infantry with fixed bayonets, machine guns, tear gas canisters and six midget tanks. The camps were burned. When Franklin D. Roosevelt heard what had happened he remarked, ‘Well, this will elect me.’ From an American history website for teachers and students, 2006.

6 0470/41/O/N/10 © UCLES 2010 DEPTH STUDY D: CHINA, 1945–c.1990 4 Study the sources, and then answer the questions which follow. Source A In their meetings in 1949, Mao presented Stalin with the difficult problem of trying to understand someone from a completely different civilisation, culture and way of thinking. The philosophical conversations conducted by the Chinese were in riddles, obscure and unfamiliar to Stalin. He noticed Mao’s tendency to speak using proverbs and to refer to ancient philosophers, while Stalin was generally content to quote himself as the only required authority on any subject. From a Russian writer, 1995. Source B In June 1958, Chou En-lai wrote to ask Khrushchev for the technology and equipment to manufacture nuclear submarines, as well as aircraft carriers and other large warships. But this time Khrushchev did not just hand over what Mao asked for. Instead, he tried to make a deal to use China’s long coastline, which gave easy access to the high seas, unlike Russia’s. Khrushchev suggested that China could crew ships jointly with the Russians in return for these ships using Chinese ports. From a British book, written in 2005 by a British man and his wife who left China in 1978. (a) (i) Study Source A. What does this source tell you about the relationship between Mao and Stalin?

7 0470/41/O/N/10 © UCLES 2010 [Turn over DEPTH STUDY E: SOUTHERN AFRICA IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY 5 Study the sources, and then answer the questions which follow. Source A Weep Afrikaners! Here lies your flesh and blood! Martyred in the most brutal fashion. They were guilty says the earthly judge But what will the Heavenly Judge have to say? But come, it grows darker, If we sit here too long we shall be regarded as conspirators! Come, another day will dawn, Then we shall see their graves in another light. A poem to remember the 1816 Boer revolt against the British, taken from the first Afrikaans history published in 1877, the year the British annexed the Transvaal. Source B The first Anglo-Boer War ended with the Transvaal regaining its independence of the British in 1881. With the 1886 discovery of gold in the Transvaal, British, Boers, blacks and foreigners poured in and set up an overcrowded squatter settlement of tents and iron shacks called Ferreira’s Camp. Kruger’s government set limits on its area in a desperate attempt to slow down this flood of workers and fortune-seeking adventurers. So Johannesburg was born. In less than forty years it was the biggest city in South Africa with a population of more than 300 000. From an American history of South Africa, 1990. (a) (i) Study Source A. What impressions does this source give you of the Boers in the 1870s? Support your answer with reference to the source. [6] (ii) Study Source B.

Source A The terms of the agreement are embodied in two separate documents. However, much work needs to be done. The Israelis still refuse to withdraw from all Arab land. They have promised to give up the Sinai, which they have held since the Six-Day War in 1967, and, according to one source, to ‘recognise the legitimate rights of the Palestinians’. More talks will be held to discuss the future of the occupied territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. In return, the Egyptians have agreed to move towards opening normal diplomatic relations with Israel, a move which will horrify those in the Arab world who are dedicated to Israel’s destruction. A report in a British newspaper, September 1978. Source B A cartoon from a British newspaper about President Sadat’s visit to Jerusalem, November 1977.

10 0470/41/O/N/10 © UCLES 2010 DEPTH STUDY G: THE CREATION OF MODERN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY 7 Study the sources, and then answer the questions which follow. Source A The successful establishment of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, with locomotive engines for passenger traffic, settled the question as to the value of this way of travelling. Great credit is due to the enterprising spirit of Lancashire capitalists for their perseverance against scientific doubts and opposition from powerful and interested parties. One engineer said, ‘No man in his right mind would attempt a railroad over Chat Moss.’ The bold and comprehensive genius of George Stephenson, backed by the capital of our Lancashire merchants and manufacturers, overcame the difficulty and it cost only £40 000. The number of passengers travelling this line by 1832 was 356 945 a year. Now the passenger traffic in the United Kingdom numbers about 60 million a year. From ‘Railways Past, Present and Prospective’, published in 1849. Source B The title page of a paper of evidence about railways put before the House of Commons in 1882.

12 0470/41/O/N/10 © UCLES 2010 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 Pile on the Brown Man’s burden And if you rouse his hate Meet his old-fashioned reasons With Maxims* – up to date With shells and Dum-Dum bullets A hundred times make plain The Brown Man’s loss must never Imply the White Man’s gain. * type of machine gun. From an English satirical poem called ‘Truth’, written in the 1880s. Source B I cannot repeat it often enough that to prepare a country for colonisation is a work needing time and patience. This is not the work of a day, or one for inexperienced men, however great their intelligence and good will. Quite apart from force being a bad method it is impossible to employ it in the interior of the country. What we have to avoid at all costs, is overthrowing in one day the work of ten years, for intervention by force in a work of patience and gentleness could lose everything at one go. From a speech given by the explorer Brazza in January 1886 about French colonisation of the Congo. Source C Bismarck began with a declaration that the aim of the conference was to promote the civilisation of the African natives by opening the interior of the continent to commerce and Christianity. Report on Bismarck opening the Berlin Conference in November 1884.
