54. From mid-July to early August 1945, Truman, Stalin, and Clement Attlee, the new British
prime minister, met at Potsdam in Germany. Here, the Allied leaders warned the Japanese,
without being specific, that if they did not agree to unconditional surrender, Japan would
suffer “complete and utter destruction”.
Use the source below and relevant historical information to explain the effectiveness of the
Allied warning and the consequences which resulted.
Unfortunately the declaration was not an explicit (clearly expressed) warning that the United
States possessed nuclear weapons and would use them . . . . Perhaps because the warning
was only a general statement, the Japanese responded with something approaching
contempt. The prime minister chose to ignore it, employing the ambiguous (not clear) word
mokusatu, which means literally “to kill with silence”. . . .Tokyo radio used the word,
saying the government would mokusatu the declaration and fight on. The English translation
became “reject”, and the president took it as a rebuff (blank rejection).
In addition to being unaware that the United States possessed nuclear weapons, the Japanese
leaders also believed, foolishly, that they could negotiate with the Americans, even though
the Japanese were thoroughly aware of the rapine (plundering) and butchery associated with
their nation’s troops as they fought across East Asia . . . . As the war was coming to an end
the Americans, British, and Soviets were publicly stating that they would arraign (bring
before a court for trial) war criminals, but Tokyo officials deluded themselves into believing
it would be possible to bargain to save the people involved. . . .

57. India was brought into the growing British Empire during the 17th and 18th centuries. At the
end of the First World War a nationalist movement devoted to winning freedom from foreign
rule began to threaten British control. The leader of this movement was Mohandas
Karamchand Gandhi. Combine information from the document below with your own
knowledge to describe how effective Gandhi’s methods were in promoting the independence
movement in India.
The March to Dandi
The non-violent method of action to bring about a change for the better was to Gandhi the
only right method and, if rightly pursued, an infallible (cannot fail) method. The great
question was-how? How were we to begin? What sort of civil disobedience should we take
up that would be effective, suited to the circumstances, and popular with the masses? And
then Mahatma gave the hint. Salt* suddenly became a mysterious word, a word of power.
The salt tax was to be attacked, the salt laws were to be broken. . . .Then came the Dandi
Salt March . . . .As people followed the fortunes of this marching column of pilgrims from
day to day, the temperature of the country went up . . . .April came, and Gandhi drew near
to the sea, and we waited for the word to begin civil disobedience by an attack on the salt
laws. On 6 April Gandhi began the breach (break) of the salt laws at Dandi beach and three
or four days later permission was given to all Congress (Indian National Congress Party)
organizations to do likewise and begin civil disobedience in their own areas . . . .All over
the country salt manufacture was the topic of the day, and many curious expedients
(methods, devices) were adopted to produce salt . . . .As we saw the abounding enthusiasm
of the people we felt ashamed of having questioned the efficacy (effectiveness, success) of
this method when it was first approached by Gandhi. And we marvelled at the amazing
knack of the man to impress the multitude and make it act in an organized way . . . .
* Salt was taxed by the British.

Minister of independent India)
