2 0470/41/M/J/13 © UCLES 2013 DEPTH STUDY A: GERMANY, 1918–1945 1 Study the sources, and then answer the questions which follow. Source A When I joined the German Workers’ Party (DAP) in September 1919 we had about fifty members. I was invited to become the seventh member of the committee which met every Wednesday in a scruffy Munich bar. Our funds were around five marks and all our stationery and Party Programme were in a small box. Early in 1920 I was put in charge of propaganda and in February there were over two thousand people at our first mass meeting when I announced the new Party name was the National Socialist Workers’ Party, and our new Twenty-Five Point Programme. By the end of 1920 we had our swastika flag and our own newspaper. Hitler writing in a 1929 newspaper. Source B The first of the Twenty-Five Points was the demand for unification of all German people, the second the cancellation of the Versailles settlement, the third demanded colonies. The next stated that only those of German blood could be citizens so ‘no Jew can be a member of the race’. The Programme came out strongly against big industrialists and big landowners. All unearned income was to be abolished, war profits confiscated and the workers were to share in the profits of large industries. Freedom of religion, better old age pensions, health care and education reforms were insisted upon. To achieve all these targets the twenty-fifth point was: ‘The Party demands the setting up of the unlimited authority of a central parliament.’ The summary of a British historian, 1952. (a) (i) Study Source A. What can you tell from this source about Hitler? Support your answer with reference to the source. [6] (ii) Study Source B. How far does this source show that the Nazi ideas were socialist? Explain your answer. [7] (iii) Study both sources. Is one of these sources more useful than the other as evidence about the Nazi Party? Explain your answer. [7] (b) (i) Give two features of the SA. [2] (ii) What was the Munich Putsch, 1923? [4] (iii) Why did Nazi Party membership increase between 1925 and 1929? [6] (iv) ‘The Nazi share of the vote in Reichstag elections increased from 3 per cent in 1928 to 37 per cent in July 1932 because of Hitler.’ How far do you agree with this statement? Explain your answer. [8]

3 0470/41/M/J/13 © UCLES 2013 [Turn over DEPTH STUDY B: RUSSIA, 1905–1941 2 Study the sources, and then answer the questions which follow. Source A Boris Bazhanov, Stalin’s personal secretary, recalls Stalin’s habit of pacing up and down his large Kremlin office, puffing on his pipe, and then issuing the curt command to remove a local Party Secretary and send another to replace him. There were few party leaders, including members of the Politburo, whom Stalin did not have under surveillance by the end of 1922. From a British historian, writing in 1996. Source B Lenin probably favoured Trotsky, although he did have doubts about Trotsky’s political judgement. He was also worried about Trotsky’s enthusiasm for the idea of revolution throughout the world. Trotsky’s power base was the Red Army. He did not have much support among the Old Bolsheviks, who had been suspicious of him. Some Politburo members were not pleased when Lenin appeared to favour Trotsky as a successor. They disliked both his policies and his manners. Lenin was not convinced that Stalin was the right man to lead the party. Lenin and Stalin did not get on well personally, even though Stalin looked after Lenin during his last illness. From a British textbook, written in 1990. (a) (i) Study Source A. What can you tell from this source about Stalin? Support your answer with reference to the source. [6] (ii) Study Source B. How far does this source show that Trotsky was popular? Explain your answer. [7] (iii) Study both sources. Is one of these sources more useful than the other as evidence about the struggle for the leadership in the Soviet Union after the death of Lenin? Explain your answer. [7] (b) (i) Name two members of the triumvirate, other than Stalin. [2] (ii) Describe the main features of Lenin’s New Economic Policy (NEP). [4] (iii) Why was Trotsky sent into exile by Stalin? [6] (iv) ‘From the October Revolution to the end of the Civil War in 1921, the Soviet peoples saw no benefit from Bolshevik rule.’ How far do you agree with this statement? Explain your answer. [8]

4 0470/41/M/J/13 © UCLES 2013 DEPTH STUDY C: THE USA, 1919–1941 3 Study the sources, and then answer the questions which follow. Source A Respectable women who took up smoking often hid the fact from family and friends. Smoking among women had been associated with prostitutes and even in the 1920s smoking was seen as a vice of wild young things and chorus girls. Many a mother told her daughter that men who might otherwise propose would certainly not if they thought a girl smoked. Those same mothers also probably spoke out against the new swimming suits which exposed arms and legs for the first time. From ‘An American History of Women’, 1984. Source B The Nineteenth Amendment finally secured the vote for women throughout the country in 1920, after nearly fifty years of women campaigning. It doubled the number of voters and now each party has a woman on its national committee. Before elections they will be told to organise the women voters and asked to help in raising funds. When it comes to discussion of party policies, they are rarely invited in. Still less are they considered as possible candidates. ‘Oh, you know she wouldn’t like the people she’d have to work with – that’s not a job for a nice, refined woman,’ is typical of the comments reported to me. When no women are present at meetings, the leaders are more outspoken: ‘Those fool women are always making trouble, anyway.’ From a magazine article by Eleanor Roosevelt, 1928. (a) (i) Study Source A. What can you tell from this source about women in the 1920s? Support your answer with reference to the source. [6] (ii) Study Source B. How far does this source show that women gained political influence by the end of the 1920s? Explain your answer. [7] (iii) Study both sources. Is one of these sources more useful than the other as evidence about American society in the 1920s? Explain your answer. [7] (b) (i) What was a speakeasy? [2] (ii) Describe how the government tried to enforce Prohibition. [4] (iii) Why were the 1920s described as ‘Roaring’? [6] (iv) ‘It was entertainment that gave Americans greater opportunities in the 1920s.’ How far do you agree with this statement? Explain your answer. [8]

5 0470/41/M/J/13 © UCLES 2013 [Turn over DEPTH STUDY D: CHINA, 1945–c.1990 4 Study the sources, and then answer the questions which follow. Source A The protest movement was an uneasy alliance. It included party members from the reformist wing who wanted the pace of reform to be matched by a commitment to social justice. It also included those who wanted to accelerate privatisation as well as those who wanted Western-style democracy and were agitating for regime change. The only common thing was a fierce hatred of corruption. A description of Beijing student protesters in April 1989 by a British author, writing in 2007. Source B Factory workers were rewarded. If they produced more they were given extra money called ‘responsibility payments’. The more peasants and workers earned, the more they had to spend. Not just on food either, but on television sets, refrigerators and stylish clothes that began to appear in the shops. A few Chinese feared that China was travelling a road that would lead back to capitalism, to the rich ill-treating the poor and to evils such as unemployment and inflation. From a British book, written in 1987. (a) (i) Study Source A. What can you tell from this source about the protesters in Beijing in April 1989? Support your answer with reference to the source. [6] (ii) Study Source B. How far does this source show that economic reforms were welcomed by the Chinese people? Explain your answer. [7] (iii) Study both sources. Is one of these sources more useful than the other as evidence about China after the death of Mao? Explain your answer. [7] (b) (i) What two posts were allocated to Chou En-lai (Zhou Enlai) when the Communist government was established in 1949? [2] (ii) What happened to the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, following the death of Mao? [4] (iii) Why did the Chinese Communist government crush the Tiananmen Square protests in June 1989? [6] (iv) How far did the death of Mao lead to improvements in the lives of Chinese people by 1990? Explain your answer. [8]

6 0470/41/M/J/13 © UCLES 2013 DEPTH STUDY E: SOUTHERN AFRICA IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY 5 Study the sources, and then answer the questions which follow. Source A Before 1963 South Africa depended heavily on importing weapons. In 1963 the United Nations set up a voluntary arms ban on South Africa. In 1964 the South African government set up the Armaments Production board and imports of ‘dual use’ equipment increased. Agreements for access to technology were made, especially with West Germany, France, Israel and Canada. Foreign weapons’ specialists were recruited, often secretly. In 1977 the UN arms ban became compulsory but by then South Africa’s arms industry was one of the largest in the world’s developing countries. By the late 1980s armaments were the leading manufactured export. From an American history of the weapons industry, 1994. Source B In 1961 we held a 48-hour silent protest outside the Commonwealth Office in London, copying the discipline of the Black Sash Movement in South Africa. We had support from bishops, many Members of Parliament and ordinary people shocked by the Sharpeville and Langa massacres. There were strong economic interests in Britain not wishing to upset South Africa. Macmillan, the Prime Minister, didn’t support the boycott of South African goods or expelling South Africa from the Commonwealth. The Canadian Prime Minister, we hope influenced by our action, proposed to the Conference that every Commonwealth country should agree to have a Bill of Rights for its citizens. The next day South Africa left the Conference and withdrew from the Commonwealth altogether at the end of May 1961. A British Member of Parliament and President of the British Anti-Apartheid movement, set up in 1961. (a) (i) Study Source A. What can you tell from this source about South Africa in the 1960s and 1970s? Support your answer with reference to the source. [6] (ii) Study Source B. How far does this source show that there was opposition to South Africa’s policy of apartheid? Explain your answer. [7] (iii) Study both sources. Is one of these sources more useful than the other as evidence about international attitudes towards South Africa in the 1960s and 1970s? Explain your answer. [7] (b) (i) What was Umkhonto we Sizwe? [2] (ii) Describe what happened at the Rivonia Trial in 1963–4. [4] (iii) Why was Steve Biko important? [6] (iv) ‘Opposition to apartheid both inside and outside South Africa was ineffective in the 1960s and 1970s.’ How far do you agree with this statement? Explain your answer. [8]

7 0470/41/M/J/13 © UCLES 2013 [Turn over DEPTH STUDY F: ISRAELIS AND PALESTINIANS, 1945–c.1994 6 Study the sources, and then answer the questions which follow. Source A The British cheated us. They promised us freedom and instead we had the Mandate. And do you know what the policy of the Mandate was? It said that we, the people of Palestine, were not mature enough to rule ourselves. And worse than that even, they brought ruin to our land and made us homeless. You, the British, brought foreigners to Palestine and made us exiles. An old Palestinian living in a refugee camp in Lebanon, interviewed in 1979. Source B Two large refugee problems were created as a result of the 1948–49 conflict, each consisting of about 800 000 people: a Palestine Arab refugee problem and a Jewish refugee problem, the latter created upon the establishment of the State of Israel when the Jewish populations in Arab countries were exiled from their countries. The Jewish people and the State of Israel solved the Jewish refugee problem quickly and established Jewish refugees in Israel. But the Arab governments chose to perpetuate the Arab refugee problem, to use Arab refugees as political pawns over the years, and to allow generations to be born in miserable refugee camps in the Middle East, supported by international charity. From a former President of Israel, writing in 1982. (a) (i) Study Source A. What can you tell from this source about Palestinian views of British rule in Palestine? Support your answer with reference to the source. [6] (ii) Study Source B. How far does this source show that the refugee problem after the 1948–9 war was solved? Explain your answer. [7] (iii) Study both sources. Is one of these sources more useful than the other as evidence about Palestine? Explain your answer. [7] (b) (i) Name two Middle East countries from which the Palestine Liberation Organisation has been expelled. [2] (ii) Describe what happened at Karemeh, Jordan in March 1968. [4] (iii) Why did Israel think it was necessary to invade Lebanon in the summer of 1982? [6] (iv) Which proved the more effective way of advancing the Palestinian cause: the actions of the Palestine Liberation Organisation or resolutions of the United Nations Organisation? Explain your answer. [8]

8 0470/41/M/J/13 © UCLES 2013 DEPTH STUDY G: THE CREATION OF MODERN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY 7 Study the sources, and then answer the questions which follow. Source A The most important of these changes is the springing up of new towns. Another significant effect is the opportunities given to humbler classes for recreation. Short trips give the working classes the opportunity of seeing that which they would never have been able to behold under the old stage- coach, wagon era. A railway train takes masses of people of all classes. The rich are brought into contact and converse with the poor. The greater the number of travellers, the greater the improvement. From an article, ‘The Social Effects of Railways’, in a magazine of 1844. Source B Already by the 1840s, the advantages of a rail connection were widely understood and the arrival of the railway was generally seen as beneficial to local people. On the opening of the North Midland Railway in 1840 the Sheffield and Rotherham Independent newspaper commented, ‘The completion of this undertaking has at last made Yorkshire a sharer in the great advantage of railway communication. It opens to a million and a half Yorkshire men a mode of communication with the Midland counties and London, unthought of twenty years ago.’ Yet many people and businesses did lose out, such as the village of Hounslow, twelve miles from the centre of London and a major staging post where two thousand horses used to be kept in the various inns. By 1842 the local newspaper reported that in the ‘formerly flourishing village of Hounslow there is a great depreciation of property because of the transfer of traffic to the railway’. In Stockport and other nearby towns shopkeepers complained that their customers were going by rail into Manchester to shop. From a book on railways, published in 2007. (a) (i) Study Source A. What can you tell from this source about the impact of railways? Support your answer with reference to the source. [6] (ii) Study Source B. How far does this source show that railways were beneficial to the people? Explain your answer. [7] (iii) Study both sources. Is one of these sources more useful than the other as evidence about Britain in the 1840s? Explain your answer. [7] (b) (i) Name two commercial railways built by 1830. [2] (ii) Describe the work of I. K. Brunel. [4] (iii) Why were railways opposed by some people? [6] (iv) How far did railways reduce the importance of canals? Explain your answer. [8]

9 0470/41/M/J/13 © UCLES 2013 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 As yet the Congo Basin is a blank, a fruitless waste, a desolate and unproductive area. It has been our purpose to fill this blank with life, to redeem the waste, to plant and sow to enable the dark men to harvest and revive wild lands so long forgotten by Europe. The explorer H. M. Stanley in 1880. Source B The London newspapers offered their congratulations for British statesmanship. One welcomed the vast market for British goods that would be shortly opened in the Congo – ‘cotton goods, blankets, crockery, muskets, gunpowder, hardware of all kinds, and cheap finery of every description’. The Leeds Mercury newspaper toasted good King Leopold as that ‘noble-minded sovereign who had the wisdom and courage to begin the enterprise of the Congo which would be the bright centre of freedom and peace’. From a book about the Scramble for Africa published in 1991. Source C I have just returned from a journey inland to a village in the Congo. The total misery and utter abandon is indescribable. I was so moved, Your Excellency, by the people’s stories that I took the liberty of promising them that in future you would only kill them for the crimes they commit. A letter from John Harris, a missionary, to King Leopold’s chief agent in the Congo in the 1890s. (a) (i) Study Source A. What can you tell from this source about the Congo before 1880? Support your answer with reference to the source. [6] (ii) Study Sources B and C. How far do these sources show that colonisation was successful? Explain your answer. [7] (iii) Study all the sources. Is one of these sources more useful than the others as evidence about the development of the Congo? Explain your answer. [7] (b) (i) Name two explorers of Africa in the nineteenth century other than H. M. Stanley. [2] (ii) What was the Berlin Colonial Conference, 1884–5? [4] (iii) Why did European countries seek to become overseas imperial powers in the nineteenth century? [6] (iv) ‘European rule in the nineteenth century exploited Africans.’ How far do you agree with this statement? Explain your answer. [8]
