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 2018 series for most Cambridge IGCSE™, Cambridge International A and AS Level components and some Cambridge O Level components.

0416/13 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2018 © UCLES 2018 Page 2 of 74 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.

0416/13 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2018 © UCLES 2018 Page 3 of 74 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.

0416/13 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2018 © UCLES 2018 Page 4 of 74 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 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.

Level 4 Explanation of both sides [7–9] A L4 answer will have a minimum of three explanations (2 on one side; 1 on the other.) This will be worth a mark of 7.

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. ‘In 1911, Germany thought France was seizing power in Morocco and so sent a gunboat to the Port of Agadir. Britain thought Germany was trying to gain a naval base at Agadir. This increased tension as Britain supported its ally and threatened war if Germany did not withdraw.’ OR ‘The Balkan Wars increased tension between the Great Powers because, having almost doubled in size, Serbia was now a much greater threat to Austria. Austria was more determined than ever to crush the Serbians and Russia was determined to support Serbia. Austria was confident of German support and so tensions between the nations grew.’ Level 2 Identifies AND/OR describes [2–3] One mark for each point e.g. ‘The Kaiser interfered in Moroccan affairs.’ ‘Germany offered support to the Sultan to resist France.’ ‘Britain and France resisted German demands in Morocco.’ ‘The Kaiser was trying to gain land.’ ‘Wilhelm was testing the Entente.’ ‘The Kaiser sent a gunboat to Agadir in 1911.’ ‘The Kaiser was forced to back down in 1911.’ ‘Serbia had become a powerful country.’ ‘Austria was threatened by the growth of Serbia.’ ‘Russia helped the formation of the Baltic League.’ ‘Russia supported the enlarged Serbia.’ 10

It led to a war for Turkish independence and the overthrow of the Ottoman Sultan OR ‘The Turks were outraged by the harshness of the Treaty, which was seen to be even worse than the Treaty of Versailles. The Treaty took away nearly two thirds of its lands. Iraq and Palestine became British mandates under the Treaty. This meant that not only did Turkey lose control of the territory but also valuable resources such as oil which was produced there.’ 10

Walking was very difficult as they could sink down into it and get stuck or make it difficult to climb out of the trenches. This slowed down attacks across No Man’s Land leading to the loss of many soldiers. The mud also made it difficult to sleep, and clothes became encrusted with mud.’ OR ‘The wet weather caused the trenches to flood. This meant that soldiers spent much of their time up to their ankles or knees in water. Thousands suffered from ‘trench foot’, caused by standing in water for hours or days, leading to gangrene and sometimes amputation.
