It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge International will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge International is publishing the mark schemes for the October/November 2021 series for most Cambridge IGCSE™, Cambridge International A and AS Level components and some Cambridge O Level components.

0470/11 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2021 © UCLES 2021 Page 2 of 77 Generic Marking Principles These general marking principles must be applied by all examiners when marking candidate answers. They should be applied alongside the specific content of the mark scheme or generic level descriptors for a question. Each question paper and mark scheme will also comply with these marking principles. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 1: Marks must be awarded in line with: • the specific content of the mark scheme or the generic level descriptors for the question • the specific skills defined in the mark scheme or in the generic level descriptors for the question • the standard of response required by a candidate as exemplified by the standardisation scripts. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 2: Marks awarded are always whole marks (not half marks, or other fractions). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 3: Marks must be awarded positively: • marks are awarded for correct/valid answers, as defined in the mark scheme. However, credit is given for valid answers which go beyond the scope of the syllabus and mark scheme, referring to your Team Leader as appropriate • marks are awarded when candidates clearly demonstrate what they know and can do • marks are not deducted for errors • marks are not deducted for omissions • answers should only be judged on the quality of spelling, punctuation and grammar when these features are specifically assessed by the question as indicated by the mark scheme. The meaning, however, should be unambiguous. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 4: Rules must be applied consistently, e.g. in situations where candidates have not followed instructions or in the application of generic level descriptors. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 5: Marks should be awarded using the full range of marks defined in the mark scheme for the question (however; the use of the full mark range may be limited according to the quality of the candidate responses seen). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 6: Marks awarded are based solely on the requirements as defined in the mark scheme. Marks should not be awarded with grade thresholds or grade descriptors in mind.

0470/11 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2021 © UCLES 2021 Page 3 of 77 Applying the Mark Scheme • When marking a response, the overall criterion to be considered should be – ‘How good is this response to this question?’ • The Level Descriptor should be used to decide the level into which the quality of the answer fits. • Exhaustive lists of possible facts are not given in the mark scheme, as there is often a choice of factual knowledge that candidates may use. • WHERE EXAMPLES OF RESPONSES ARE GIVEN, THESE ARE NOT PRESCRIPTIVE, BUT ARE INTENDED AS A GUIDE. It is not possible to cover every possible type of response within a levels of response mark scheme and examiners are expected to use their professional judgement at all times in ensuring that responses are placed in the correct level and given an appropriate mark within that level. • Marking must be positive. Marks must not be deducted for inaccurate or irrelevant parts of answers. In itself, poor use of historical terminology, spelling, grammar or handwriting does not affect the mark. The overall quality of the answer to the question should be judged. • If a candidate reaches a particular level, s/he must be rewarded with a mark within that level. It is not necessary to work through the levels. • The full range of marks should be used. Do not be afraid to award full marks or no marks. Failure to do this will seriously affect the distribution of marks. Be prepared to reward candidates who show any level of understanding. The mark scheme starts from basic acceptable response. Where a band of marks is indicated for a level, these marks should be used with reference to the development of the answer within that level. Assessment Objectives (a) recall, description (b) recall, explanation (c) recall, explanation and analysis

When they were afraid that the revolution in their lands would mean they would lose their power, then they were prepared to support the Parliament. They thought that if they opposed the Parliament this would cause even more opposition to their rule. However, once order was restored, they were not prepared to continue supporting the Parliament as they did not want their powers to be reduced by a constitution such as that proposed by the Frankfurt Parliament.’ Level 2 – Identifies AND/OR describes reasons 2–3 (One mark for each identification/description) e.g. ‘It had no experience of a parliamentary system.’ ‘It had a weak chairman.’ ‘It lacked any party discipline.’ ‘The day-to-day organisation was poor.’ ‘It only represented the learned and professional classes.’ ‘It failed to represent nobles, wage earners and the business sector.’ ‘The delegates were split over whether Austria should be included.’ ‘Frederick William of Prussia turned down the offer of the Crown of Germany.’ Level 1 – General answer lacking specific contextual knowledge 1 e.g. ‘It failed because it did not have enough support.’ Level 0 – No evidence submitted or response does not address the question 0

Level 3 – One-sided explanation OR one explanation of both sides 5–6 marks 4–6 More detailed explanation of one issue to be given two marks. e.g. ‘Liberal ideas were important in causing the 1848 revolutions. The fact that the King held all the power was increasingly unpopular and people wanted the freedom to vote and own land. They wanted freedom of speech and freedom of the press. People wanted a say in how their country was governed. These liberal ideas were very powerful in causing the revolutions in 1848.’ OR e.g. ‘Nationalism was also an important cause of the revolutions. For instance, in Hungary national groups sought independence from the Austro-Hungarian empire. In Germany and Italy nationalist groups wished to unite with other states to form a larger nation.’ Level 2 – Identifies AND/OR describes 2–3 (One mark for each point) e.g. ‘Liberal ideas were important.’ ‘There was a demand for more say in how the country was governed.’ ‘There was unrest with the existing methods of government.’ ‘Royal absolutism seemed to be out of date.’ ‘In Hungary, nationalism was a powerful cause and nationalist groups wanted freedom from Austria.’ ‘In Germany, nationalists wanted to be united into one state.’ Level 1 – General answer lacking specific contextual knowledge 1 e.g. ‘Many people wanted more freedom.’ Level 0 – No evidence submitted or response does not address the question 0

Charles Albert was not convinced of Mazzini’s claims of large-scale support for revolution and therefore refused to back him. Without his backing, there was no way Mazzini could take on the Austrians and win.’ Level 2 – Identifies AND/OR describes reasons 2–3 (One mark for each identification/description) e.g. ‘Mazzini was rarely in Italy.’ ‘Mazzini was not in touch with other people who shared revolutionary ideas.’ ‘He had limited support.’ ‘Austria was strong.’ ‘Mazzini was inexperienced.’ ‘He offended French Catholics who saw him as a threat to the Pope.’ Level 1 – General answer lacking specific contextual knowledge 1 e.g. ‘Mazzini failed because the Italian people were not ready for unification.’ Level 0 – No evidence submitted or response does not address the question 0

His kingdom consisted of all Italian states including Piedmont, Naples and Sicily, but not Rome and Venetia. Venetia was ceded to Italy after the Austro- Prussian War as a reward for fighting against the Austrians.’ OR e.g. ‘It is not surprising that Italy was not unified until 1870–71 because there was still strong influence from the French within Italy, and they protected the Pope who did not recognise Italy’s power over Rome. The French kept a garrison in Rome until 1866 and then again between 1867 and 1870 to protect the Pope. Italian Catholics were concerned and did not know whether they should recognise their King’s wishes or their Pope’s wishes.

Level 3 – One-sided explanation OR one explanation of both sides 5–6 marks 4–6 More detailed explanation of one issue to be given two marks. e.g. ‘The Germans did not suffer such severe losses at the Battle of the Somme. On the first day of the battle, 1 July 1916, the British Army suffered 20 000 dead and 40 000 wounded. This was the worst day in the history of the British Army. The week-long bombardment of enemy lines had left the Germans in their deep bunkers largely undamaged. This proved that their defences were strong.’ OR e.g. ‘In spite of the losses suffered, the Battle of the Somme took pressure off the French forces defending Verdun. It meant the Germans withdrew forces from the Verdun area to fight on the Somme. This saved the French from defeat and possible surrender, preventing Germany from winning the war.’ Level 2 – Identifies AND/OR describes 2–3 (One mark for each point) e.g. ‘The first day of the battle was the worst day in the history of the British Army.’ ‘There was criticism of the Allied leadership.’ ‘German troops survived the heavy shelling.’ ‘There was no breakthrough.’ ‘It turned into a battle of attrition.’ ‘Many PAL battalions were wiped out.’ ‘At the end of the battle, British forces gained 7 miles.’ ‘It took pressure off the French at Verdun.’ ‘It saved the French army.’ ‘Germans had to strengthen their forces with troops from Verdun.’ Level 1 – General answer lacking specific contextual knowledge 1 e.g. ‘Both sides suffered casualties and made little progress.’ Level 0 – No evidence submitted or response does not address the question 0

Normally this could have been prevented but a key ingredient in the treatment was copper which had been set aside for the country’s war industry. Potatoes were an important staple in the German diet and had to be replaced with turnips which were usually reserved for feeding cattle.’ Level 2 – Identifies AND/OR describes reasons 2–3 (One mark for each identification/description) e.g. ‘Farm workers had been conscripted into the army.’ ‘Germany could not import food.’ ‘The potato harvest failed in 1916.’ ‘The treatment for blight was not available due to the war.’ ‘The blockade prevented Germany from importing food.’ ‘The best supplies were reserved for the army.’ Level 1 – General answer lacking specific contextual knowledge 1 e.g. ‘There were lower supplies due to the war.’ Level 0 – No evidence submitted or response does not address the question 0

The Tsar had appointed many of his loyal courtiers as senior army commanders, who were more concerned with their dining arrangements than military planning. They assumed the bravery of their men would win the war even though this might cause mass casualties. In 1915, the Tsar took over the role as Commander-in-Chief.’ OR e.g. ‘Food shortages were very severe in Russia. Urban areas such as Petrograd faced shortages and people had to queue for hours to buy bread. Inflation was also high. In February 1917 there were demonstrations in Petrograd to protest at the lack of food. These continued for several days and, when the army went onto the side of the demonstrators, the Tsar abdicated.’ Level 2 – Identifies AND/OR describes 2–3 (One mark for each point) e.g. ‘There were not enough trained officers and NCOs.’ ‘The home industries could not supply the soldiers with enough food, uniforms and ammunition.’ ‘The Russian soldiers could not compete with their well trained and well equipped opponents.’ ‘The decision of the Tsar to assume the role of Commander-in-Chief was a disaster.’ ‘There were severe food shortages and price rises.’ ‘There were desertions and mutinies in the Russian Army.’ ‘There were too many courtiers appointed as senior commanders and who had no experience of army life.’ ‘Demonstrations in Petrograd brought about the downfall of the Tsar.’ ‘Bolsheviks criticised the poor leadership.’

Stresemann’s policies were successful and the moderate parties, which made up the Weimar coalitions, were the winners at the polls.

Hitler used these powers to intimidate voters and incite public fear against the Communists.’ OR e.g. ‘The Enabling Act was important because it effectively made Hitler a dictator. It gave him the power to make laws without the Reichstag for four years. This meant the existing constitution could be ignored. It meant the end of parliamentary democracy.’ ‘Hitler used the Enabling Act to ban trade unions, to ban all political parties apart from the Nazi Party, to purge the Civil Service and take control of local government.’

There was discontent and mutiny.’ OR e.g. ‘In some ways it is surprising that the Tsar fell from power in 1917. When war broke out in 1914, the Tsar had been popular and there were demonstrations in support of him. He could always rely on loyalty from his government, armed forces and secret police.

Some made their own liquor at home, known as moonshine, while rich households imported wine and spirits illegally. By 1925, there were more speakeasies in American cities than there had been saloons in 1919.’ OR e.g. ‘One reason Prohibition failed was that it was not policed properly. The government appointed several thousand enforcement agents, but this was not enough and they were poorly paid.

However, the reaction of the government was swift, and both the ANC and PAC were banned.’ OR e.g. ‘The Defiance Campaign in 1952 was probably more important in the resistance to apartheid because it resulted in the membership of the ANC increasing from 7000 to 100 000. The Campaign gave confidence to the opponents of the government that further mass protest could bring political changes.
