Use the sources below and your own knowledge to describe a social challenge and an economic challenge that weakened Germany’s Weimar Republic. As soon as I received my salary I rushed out to buy the daily necessities. My daily salary, as editor of the periodical Soziale Praxix, was just enough to buy one loaf of bread and a small piece of cheese or some oatmeal . . . An acquaintance of mine, a clergyman, came to Berlin from a suburb with his monthly salary to buy a pair of shoes for his baby; he could buy only a cup of coffee No one knew how many there were of them. They completely filled the streets. They stood or lay about in the streets as if they had taken root there. They sat or lay on the pavement or in the roadway and gravely shared out scraps of newspapers among themselves. 1918 0.63 marks 1922 163 marks Jan. 1923 250 marks July 1923 3,465 marks Sept. 1923 1,512,000 marks Nov. 1923 201,000,000,000 marks Page 11 of 17 World History 3201 June 2002 Value 10 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. . . .

The 1960's and 1970's was a period of conflict in South East Asia between US-backed anticommunist forces of South Vietnam and the Viet Cong, who were supported by North Vietnam’s communist government and Soviet armaments.

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.
