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.

0470/12 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2021 © UCLES 2021 Page 2 of 86 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.

Mark scheme, page 3

0470/12 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2021 © UCLES 2021 Page 3 of 86 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 they 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

The Pope was not as liberal as many wanted to believe. His Allocution infuriated many nationalists who believed he would lead Italy. Pius IX feared that war with Austria would lead to a religious divide between the Church in Austria and that of Rome. He recalled his troops from the front, a decision which caused the revolutionary movement to falter.’ Level 2 – Identifies AND/OR describes reasons 2–3 (One mark for each identification/description) e.g. ‘Pius IX was not a liberal.’ ‘Pius IX did not consider himself as the leader of a new Italy.’ ‘Pius would not fight another Catholic power.’ ‘He saw Charles Albert as the aggressor.’ Level 1 – General answer lacking specific contextual knowledge 1 e.g. ‘The Pope changed his mind about the revolution.’ 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. ‘The 1848 revolution in France was a success, as improvements were made for ordinary people by the new socialist and republican provisional government. All men aged 21 and over were given the vote and the unemployed were helped by the setting up of National Workshops in Paris, providing work for the unemployed. Life improved for some as a result of the revolution.’ OR e.g. ‘The 1848 revolution in France was not a success, as not everyone was happy with the actions of the new provisional government. Small farmers and peasants were unhappy that they had to pay taxes to fund the National Workshops when they received no benefit at all from the scheme.’ Level 2 – Identifies AND/OR describes 2–3 (One mark for each point) e.g. ‘A new socialist and republican provisional government was formed.’ ‘The vote was given to all men aged 21 and over.’ ‘The number of voters increased to well over 8 million.’ ‘National Workshops were created to give jobs to the unemployed.’ ‘The Second French Republic only lasted till 1852.’ ‘The National Workshops were only based in Paris.’ ‘Some people objected to paying taxes to fund the National Workshops.’ ‘There were new uprisings when the National Workshops closed down.’

If it was too harshly punished, then the German economy might suffer, and the country would be unable to trade with Britain.’ OR e.g. ‘Wilson had the harder task as he was trying to ensure that the peace was just and Germany was punished, but not too harshly.

There were severe shortages of grain, supplies were slow to reach the towns and people had to queue for hours to buy bread. Demonstrations started in Petrograd. At first these were about the lack of bread, but the demands of the demonstrators soon became political, and the Tsar was forced to abdicate. Although a Provisional Government took over, the Bolsheviks seized power. They promised bread for the people and an end to the war.’ OR e.g. ‘Military failings were important in Russia’s decision to leave the war. Russia had faced heavy defeats since the start of the war and suffered huge casualties. The few successful offensives, such as the Brusilov Offensive could not be followed because of a lack of supplies and poor leadership.

Stalin removed them so they could no longer be a potential threat.’ OR e.g. ‘However, the purges were much more far-reaching and did not stop at removing the old Bolsheviks and this suggests there were other motives.

In 1972, the Chinese- American trade agreement was followed by the signing of a peace treaty.’ OR e.g. ‘There were other motives for a thaw in Sino-US relations. As the Chinese relationship with the USSR deteriorated, Mao believed that it was a good idea to cultivate a relationship with the USSR’s traditional enemy, the USA. Mao believed in the principle that his enemy’s enemy should be his friend, and the provocative behaviour of the Russians in the late 1960s made a positive relationship with the Americans even more attractive.’ Level 2 – Identifies AND/OR describes 2–3 (One mark for each point) e.g. ‘The relationship between the USSR and China had deteriorated in the 1969’s.’ ‘The US supported Taiwan in the Taiwan Straits crisis.’ ‘The US finally accepted that the CCP was the legitimate government of China.’ ‘In 1971 the Chinese government invited the American table tennis team to Beijing.’ ‘Mao saw there were economic benefits from trading with the US.’ ‘In 1972 there was a Chinese-American trade agreement.’ Level 1 – General answer lacking specific contextual knowledge 1 e.g. ‘It was in both countries’ interests to put their differences aside.’

They passed laws which meant the black farmers living in mining regions such as the Transvaal had to pay a tax. As most did not use money they had to find supplementary income to pay the tax. This meant they often went to work in the mines. This ensured a supply of labour for the mines.’ Level 2 – Identifies AND/OR describes reasons 2–3 (One mark for each identification/description) e.g. ‘Mining was given government support.’ ‘Mine owners employed black South Africans as cheap labour.’ ‘A pass system was introduced so the miners could not leave the compounds where they lived.’ ‘The contracts for the miners were long – up to nine months.’ ‘The Second World War meant there was a global demand for gold.’ Level 1 – General answer lacking specific contextual knowledge 1 e.g. ‘There was a high demand for gold.’ 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. ‘The Natives Land Act had a more serious impact because it prevented black people from owning or renting land and they were forced to live in reservations which were overcrowded. Sharecropping was banned. In the short term, this was significant because many black sharecroppers were evicted, causing them harsh suffering. In the long term, the Act simply turned black people into labourers for white farmers. It was no longer possible to earn a living from farming.’ OR e.g. ‘The Native Urban Areas Act meant that housing became segregated. Black South Africans were only allowed to live in black townships, away from white people. Their houses were often constructed of mud bricks and corrugated iron. There were no metalled roads, and the water supplies and sanitation were poor. This meant disease spread easily.’ Level 2 – Identifies AND/OR describes 2–3 (One mark for each point) e.g. ‘The Natives Land Act prevented black people from owning land.’ ‘The 1913 Natives Land Act prevented black people from practising sharecropping.’ ‘The Act forced black people to seek work on white-owned farms.’ ‘The 1913 Act led to the eviction of black sharecroppers.’ ‘The Native Urban Areas Act meant black people had to live in extremely poor housing.’ ‘Clean water and sanitation were in short supply.’ ‘Disease spread easily.’ Level 1 – General answer lacking specific contextual knowledge 1 e.g. ‘Both of these laws made living and working conditions much worse for black South Africans.’

After the Sharpeville Massacre he was sent by the ANC to establish ANC offices in foreign countries. By 1990, there were 27 of these in European and African States.

South Africa was almost in a state of civil war and the government could no longer control the black townships. The ANC launched attacks on government buildings and there was widespread violence, often in response to the actions of government security services.’ OR e.g. ‘Economic problems were an important motive for ending white minority rule. The South African economy was in recession and living standards were declining. By the 1980s, the declining power of the USSR meant that South Africa was no longer valuable to the West in the fight against communism. This encouraged some countries to cut trading links with South Africa, making the economy worse. The US Congress passed the Comprehensive Anti- Apartheid Act in 1986, and many large multinational companies withdrew from South Africa. This reduced investment and employment opportunities. By the late 1980s, the South African economy was struggling with the effects of the internal and external boycotts and was facing economic ruin.’ Level 2 – Identifies AND/OR describes 2–3 (One mark for each point) e.g. ‘Internal unrest reached record levels by the end of the 1980s.’ ‘Police brutality sparked unrest.’ ‘The ANC carried out a bombing campaign.’ ‘The townships were uncontrollable.’ ‘Foreign powers were no longer prepared to trade with South Africa.’ ‘There was an external boycott and foreign companies withdrew.’ ‘South Africa faced economic ruin.’

Since the First World War there had been strong Jewish groups demanding a separate state for Jews. In the war of 1948–49, Israel was fighting to keep this dream alive. This gave them the determination they needed to win.’ OR e.g. ‘It is not surprising that Israel won the war because the Arabs were not united. There was limited support from Syria and Lebanon, and the King of Jordan tried to negotiate secretly with Israel to take over parts of Palestine himself. This meant there was mistrust between the Arab forces which undermined their determination to win.’ OR e.g. ‘It can be seen as surprising that Israel won the war because the Arabs appeared to be in a strong position at times, with, in May 1948, a coalition of six Arab states involved in an invasion of Israel from different directions. A third of Israel’s territory was occupied before the June 1948 ceasefire and the Arabs made some territorial gains.
