4 a. Generally very good, though very few people mentioned that they discussed what to do about japan. People who didn’t score well was because they explained what they did at Potsdam rather than WHY they met . This could result in you gaining zero marks. 4 bi + ii

4 a. • Generally very good, though very few people mentioned that they discussed what to do about japan. • People who didn’t score well was because they explained what they did at Potsdam rather than WHY they met. This could result in you gaining zero marks. • 4 bi + ii • Try to aim for 3 developed answers (PEE= Point, Evidence, Explanation). • Remember Stalin dies in 1953- this then leads to de-stalinisation. • Joe- you ticked that you had answered 4ii but you had I fact answered 4i. This could result in you getting zero. • Handwriting- Joe- one word I decoded was ‘salami attack’???!!!!! • 4 C • Berlin Airlift • Marshall Aid • Comecon • Arms race • Nato • Warsaw Pact • 1949- Marks the end of the Berlin Airlift. • Don’t confuse Berlin blockade/ airlift with the Berlin crisis (building wall 1961). • Nato 1949- Warsaw Pact 1955- Could you really say one led to the other? • Bullet point plan- Daisy Aim for 3 PEE paragraphs = 9 marks. Make links and/or prioritise = 12 marks
5 i • Emily- very good explanation of how Cuba made Kennedy look weak and foolish. • Louis- don’t bullet point answers unless you are running out of time. • Alex- “the USA looked people laughed at Kennedy.” too informal. However • Alex- “people began to question Kennedy as a leader” A much more mature response. • Lots of students explained that many Cubans were “kicked out” under Castro. Exiled would be a much more academic phrase. • 5ii • Mattie and Kate- good use of quote “socialism with a human face”. • Kate- good reference to the Brezhnev document, but didn’t explain what it was • 5C • Iron Curtain- don’t get it mixed up with the Berlin Wall. • Kate- Good use of connectives- “consequently “ “as a result” these almost force the examiners to give you marks. • Refer back to the question- Flashpoint (nearly turned the Cold War hot). • Harvey- well done for defining what flashpoint means. • Don’t just put “this was another reason why Berlin was a flashpoint” at the end of each paragraph. Need to explain why.
5C • Good links “The hole in the iron curtain led to the refugee crisis. • Sophie- Good use of specific details (precise information)- 20,000 people left each day. • Sophie- good explanation of how West Berlin was used as a piece of propaganda to show that capitalism was superior to communism. • 1958 ultimatum was made to Eisenhower not Kennedy. • Sophie- best explanation of thchanging relationships between the Paris Conference (when Eisenhower was president) and Vienna (when Kennedy was now president.) • Emily- excellent spelling out of the links “linking to this”!!!!!! • Results suggest that Berlin question was probably best answered as a PEEL rather than a PEEP.
