QUESTION 1:     HOW DID THE USSR AND THE USA CREATE THEIR SPHERES
                OF INFLUENCE IN EUROPE BETWEEN 1945 AND 1949?

SOURCE 1A

The source below describes the division of Germany after World War 2, in 1945.

      The Big Three – Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, British Prime Minister Winston
      Churchill (replaced on July 26 by Prime Minister Clement Attlee), and U.S.
      President Harry Truman – met at Potsdam, Germany, from July 17 to August 2,
      1945, to negotiate terms for the end of World War 2. After the Yalta Conference of
      February 1945, Stalin, Churchill and the U.S. president, Franklin D. Roosevelt had
      agreed, following the surrender of Germany, to determine the post-war borders in
      Europe. Germany surrendered on May 8, 1945, and the Allied leaders agreed to
      meet over the summer at Potsdam to continue discussions that had begun at
      Yalta. Although the Allies remained committed to fighting a joint war in the Pacific,
      lack of a common enemy in Europe led to difficulties reaching consensus
      concerning post war reconstruction on the European continent.

      The major issue at Potsdam was the question of how to handle Germany. At Yalta,
      the Soviets had pressed for heavy post-war reparations from Germany, half of
      which would go to the Soviet Union. While Roosevelt had acceded to such
      demands, Truman and his secretary, James Byrnes, were determined to mitigate
      (lessen) the treatment of Germany by allowing the occupying nations to exact
      reparations only from their own zone of occupation. Truman and Byrnes
      encouraged this position because they wanted to avoid a repetition of the situation
      created by the Treaty of Versailles, which had extracted high reparations payments
      from Germany following World War 1. Many experts agreed that the harsh
      reparations imposed by the Versailles Treaty had handicapped the German
      economy and fuelled the rise of the Nazis.

      Despite numerous disagreements, the Allied leaders did manage to conclude
      some agreements, for example, the negotiations confirmed the status of a
      demilitarised and disarmed Germany under four zones of Allied occupation.

SOURCE 1B

This is an extract from the ‘’Iron Curtain’’ speech by former British Prime Minister,
Winston Churchill, in Fulton, Missouri, on March 5, 1946.

       A shadow has fallen upon the scenes so lately lighted by the Allied victory.
       Nobody knows what Soviet Russia and its Communist international organisation
       intend to do in the immediate future, or what are the limits, if any, to their
       expansive and proselytising (attempt to convert) tendencies. I have a strong
       admiration and regard for the valiant (courageous) Russian people and for my
       wartime comrade, Marshal Stalin. There is sympathy and goodwill in Britain – and
       I doubt not here also – towards the peoples of all the Russias and a resolve to
       preserve, through many differences and rebuffs in establishing lasting
       friendships. We understand the Russian need to be secure on her western
       frontiers by the removal of all possibility of German aggression. We welcome
       Russia to her rightful place among the leading nations of the world. Above all we
       welcome constant, frequent, and growing contacts between the Russian people
       and our own people on both sides of the Atlantic. It is my duty however, for I am
       sure you would wish me to state the facts as I see them to you, to place you
       before certain facts about the present position in Europe.

       From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic an iron curtain has descended
       across the continent. Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of
       Central and Eastern Europe – Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest,
       Belgrade, Bucharest and Sofia. All these famous cities and the populations
       around them lie in what I must call the Soviet sphere, and all are subject in one
       form or another, not only to Soviet influence but to a very high and, in some
       cases, increasing measure of control from Moscow. Athens alone, with its
       immortal (never dying) glories, is free to decide its future at an election under
       British, American and French observation. The Russian-dominated Polish
       Government has been encouraged to make enormous and wrongful inroads upon
       Germany, and mass expulsions of millions of Germans on a scale grievous and
       undreamed-of, are now taking place. The Communist parties, which were very
       small in all these Eastern States of Europe, have been raised to pre-eminence
       and power far beyond their numbers, and are seeking everywhere to obtain
       totalitarian control.

The source below focuses on the evaluation of the Marshall Plan in 1952.

       All told, the U.S. provided $13.3 billion (about $140 billion in 2017 dollars) in
       assistance between 1948 and 1951 to 16 Western European countries through
       the ECA, with the vast majority of funds allotted to commodity purchases.
       Historians have generally agreed that the Marshall Plan contributed to reviving
       the Western European economies by controlling inflation, reviving trade and
       restoring production. It also helped rebuild infrastructure through the local
       currency counterpart funds.

       What is notable about this assistance is that the Europeans themselves played a
       major role in the planning and implementation of the ERP. U.S. assistance may
       have provided the margin the recipient countries needed to help themselves get
       on a path to stable post war recovery, but the fact that Europeans generally
       agreed with the basic stipulations of the assistance package - that some form of
       capitalism should inform post war economies and governance - ultimately made
       the Marshall Plan a success.

       Congress did not renew Marshall Plan funding beyond its originally legislated
       end date of 1952. With strides already made, it was harder for supporters to
       argue for additional assistance funds under ERP. Moreover, following the
       outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, American interest in international
       assistance turned away from a focus on economic development toward defense
       funding, and supporting military strength and rearmament in Europe as a bulk
       against the Soviet Union and international communism.

QUESTION 2:     WHAT WAS THE NATURE OF FOREIGN INVOLVEMENT IN THE
                ANGOLAN CIVIL WAR?

SOURCE 2A

The source below describes the ways in which foreign powers became involved in the
Angolan Civil War.

      Three main military movements had been fighting for Angolan independence
      since the 1960s. The Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) was
      a Marxist organisation centred in the capital, Luanda, and led by Agostinho Neto.
      The National Front for the Liberation of Angola (FNLA), led by Holden Roberto,
      was based in the north of the country, and had strong ties to the U.S. ally, Mobutu
      Sese Seko, in neighbouring Zaire. The National Union for the Total Independence
      of Angola (UNITA), an offshoot of the FNLA, was led by Jonas Savimbi and
      supported by the country’s largest ethnic group, the Ovimbundu. These three
      groups signed the Alvor Agreement that granted Angolan independence and
      provided for a three-way power sharing government. However, trust quickly broke
      down among the three groups, and the country descended into civil war as each
      vied for sole power.

      The crisis in Angola developed into a cold war battleground as the superpowers
      and their allies delivered military assistance to their preferred clients. The United
      States supplied aid and training for both the FNLA and UNITA while troops from
      Zaire assisted Holden Roberto and his fighters. China also sent military
      instructors to train the FNLA. The Soviet Union provided military training and
      equipment for the MPLA. During the summer of 1975, the Soviet-supported
      MPLA, was able to solidify their power in Luanda and force the U.S.-supported
      FNLA out of the capital, but the FNLA continued to attack.

      The MPLA also had long-established relations with Fidel Castro’s Cuba. Before
      November 11, the MPLA had negotiated with Castro for Cuban assistance. At the
      same time, UNITA, which enjoyed U.S. support, approached the Apartheid
      government in South Africa for military reinforcement. Pretoria, with the aim to
      end the use of Angola as a base for rebels fighting for the independence of South
      Africa occupied Namibia, contributed forces that entered Southern Angola in
      October and made rapid progress toward the capital. In response, Castro sent
      Cuban Special Forces to halt the South African advance and succeeded in
      drawing attention to the fact that the United States had provided support to a
      group that now accepted assistance from an apartheid government. The U.S.
      Government had encouraged the South African intervention but preferred to
      downplay its connection with the apartheid regime.

The source below describes the nature of the involvement of the USA in the Angolan
Civil War.

      The Americans did not give up. This was the Cold War and every inch of the
      globe had to be contested with the Soviet Union. They wanted to deny Angola to
      the Russians, not just because of its oil. Angola has good harbours on the
      Atlantic Coast opposite America and the possibility of a Russian naval base there
      worried Washington. The presence of Cuban and Russian troops in Angola was
      also seen as a threat to South Africa. There was no doubting where America and
      Europe stood if they had to choose between apartheid and communism in
      Southern Africa.

      But the main motive and tactic of the Americans was simply to bleed the Soviet
      Union by making its Angolan venture too expensive. In practice, that meant
      bleeding Angolan peasants, the main sufferers in the war that lasted more than
      forty years.

      Like many small civil wars of the Cold War period that appeared to be ideological,
      fought by proxies of the communist Soviet Union and the capitalist United States,
      the Angolan war was actually the continuation of a local historical conflict. To gain
      powerful allies, both sides cheerfully sang the hymns of the Soviet Union or the
      United States. The superpowers were fooled into believing they had real
      disciples.

      At first American support for UNITA was secret, but in 1985 it became formal and
      open with the official allocation of $27 million a year in aid. In practice, the CIA
      had probably been supplying and helping the rebel movement since the mid-
      1970s. This war, American diplomats always made clear, was not winnable,
      however, there would have to be compromises and a government of national
      unity.

      Their policy resulted in this: A Marxist regime armed by the Soviet Union and
      protected by Cuban troops was kept going by revenue from oil extracted by
      American oil companies whose operations were being attacked by American-
      backed rebels. Angola was one of the most bizarre sideshows of the Cold War
      and also one of the most murderous.

The source below describes the role of South Africa in Angola, especially the role of
Magnus Malan, the South African Minister of Defence and Chief of the SADF (South
African Defence Force).

      Magnus Malan should be qualified as a war criminal for the systematic
      oppression that had been carried out against the people of South Africa and the
      region as a whole, in defence of white rule and capitalism. It was under his
      leadership that the South African armed forces, like swarms of locusts, left death
      and destruction in their wake. It was estimated by UN sources that by the end of
      apartheid, over $80 billion dollars’ worth of destruction and economic damage
      had been caused across Angola and the region of Southern Africa in general.
      Over two million persons were killed, maimed, displaced, or made refugees as
      the SADF fought across the breadth of Southern Africa. In Angola, the SADF
      fought both a conventional and irregular war in support of UNITA against soldiers
      of the legitimate MPLA government and their Cuban allies. South Africa carried
      out similar operations in Namibia and Mozambique, threatening the stability of the
      region.

      The South African armed forces, in collaboration with some elements in the US
      government, attempted to impose Jonas Savimbi on Angola. They launched a
      three-phase operation called ‘Modular, Hooper and Packer’ to destroy Angola.
      This military invasion was stopped at Cuito Cuanavale, and the South Africans
      were decisively defeated.

QUESTION 3:     WHAT IMPACT DID THE GREENSBORO SIT-INS HAVE ON THE
                CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
                IN THE 1960s?

SOURCE 3A

The source below explains how the various forms of protests contributed to the end of
segregation in the United States of America.

      White southern resistance to the landmark Brown v. Board of Education of
      Topeka ruling which held that separate facilities were inherently unequal and
      thereby declared segregation in public education to be unconstitutional, was
      formidable (challenging), and the slow pace of change stimulated impatience
      especially among younger African Americans as the 1960s began. They
      concluded that they could not wait for change, they had to make it.

      The Montgomery Bus Boycott, which lasted the entire year of 1956, had
      demonstrated that mass direct action could indeed work. The sit-in by the four
      college students from Greensboro, who sat at the Woolworths lunch counter, set
      off a decade of activity and organising that would kill Jim Crow.

      Elimination of segregation in public accommodations and the removal of “Whites
      Only” and “Coloureds Only” signs was no mean feat (achievement). From the
      very first sit-in, Ella Baker, the grassroots leader whose activism dated from the
      1930s and who was advisor to the students who founded the Student Nonviolent
      Coordinating Committee (SNCC), pointed out that the struggle was “concerned
      with something much bigger than a hamburger or even a giant-sized Coke.” Far
      more was at stake for these activists than changing the hearts of whites.

      When the sit-ins swept Atlanta in 1960, protesters’ demands included jobs, health
      care, reform of the police and criminal justice system, education and the vote.
      March demonstrations in Birmingham in 1963 under the leadership of Fred
      Shuttlesworth’s Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights, which was
      affiliated with the SCLC, demanded not only an end to segregation in downtown
      stores but also jobs for African Americans in those businesses and municipal
      government. The 1963 March on Washington, most often remembered as the
      event at which Dr Martin Luther King Jr., proclaimed his dream, was a
      demonstration for “Jobs and Justice.”

The source below focuses on the courageous moment when the four Greensboro
students took a stand and grew support against segregation in America in the 1960s.

      On the afternoon of 1 February 1960, four students, David Richmond, Franklin
      McCain, Jibreel Khazan and Joseph McNeil from the North Carolina Agricultural
      and Technical College walked into the F.W. Woolworth’s store, in downtown
      Greensboro. After purchasing some personal items, they settled down at the
      store’s lunch counter and tried to order. Because the students were black, the
      staff refused to serve them. They remained positioned until closing and quietly
      vowed to return the next day.

      Sit-ins had been a key tactic (method) in the civil rights struggle for decades, but
      their success was a matter of timing. Although similar sit-ins had already been
      staged in Nashville on a test basis, something about the Greensboro
      demonstration began to attract national attention. The four students returned the
      next day with 25 others, and by day five of the sit-in, more than 300 supporters,
      some of them white, appeared at the store, taking turns occupying the 65 lunch
      counter seats.

      Though Greensboro was considered a “moderate” southern city, tensions
      between whites and blacks there grew palpable (intense), stirred in part by gangs
      of white youths who gathered at the dime store, slinging insults at the student
      protestors. The contrast between the orderly, disciplined students and their unruly
      white tormentors was not lost on journalists covering the lunch counter face-off.
      As support for the Greensboro protest spread north, sit-ins and “sit-downs” began
      spreading quickly through the south. By year’s end more than 100 such protests
      had been staged throughout the states of the old Confederacy.

      In Greensboro, a brief moratorium (suspension) failed to bring resolution. When
      the students returned, store management shut down the lunch counter but losses
      from a nationwide boycott proved too great to justify. Less than six months after
      the original protest, Woolworth’s relented (yielded) and opened its lunch counters
      to paying customers of any race.

The source below focuses on how the Greensboro sit-in influenced students in Georgia,
Atlanta.

      On 16 February 1960, two weeks after the Greensboro sit-in began, the Georgia
      State Legislature in Atlanta passed a law making it a misdemeanour (crime) to
      refuse to leave a place of business when ordered to by management. The
      Committee on Appeal for Human Rights (COAHR) launched a direct-action
      campaign. On 15 March 1960, 200 students participated in sit-ins in 10 different
      locations downtown, including the state capital building, the county courthouse,
      city hall, bus stations and railway stations. Governor Ernst Vandiver ordered
      arrests, resulting in 77 students in jail. The National Association of Colored
      People (NAACP) arranged legal assistance for the students.

      In May 1960, the Ku Klux Klan held a 500-person rally, which spurred
      (encouraged) more members of black communities to sign the Appeal for Human
      Rights and started the kneel-in campaign which was not as successful as the sit-
      ins. Frustrated that black newspapers would not print the students’ perspective on
      unfolding events, COAHR began publishing their own newsletter and distributed
      20 000 copies via the black churches.

      In a significant move, Dr Martin Luther King Jr., joined the student’s disobedience
      action and was arrested on 19 October. There was a national outrage at his
      arrest and Robert Kennedy called the governor of Georgia demanding his
      release. King was released two days later. The intensified sit-ins brought down
      sales figures by 13%. Finally, white business owners met the black leadership to
      discuss a plan for desegregation.
