Weeks later a concrete wall placed Sovietcontrolled East Berlin firmly behind the Iron Curtain. This was to stop East Berliners from escaping to West Berlin where living standards were better. The wall split families and neighbourhoods, causing great unrest.\u003Cbr>Source C: The view of an East German politician, in January 1989, speaking about the building of the Berlin Wall\u003Cbr>I am proud of the Berlin Wall. Our soldiers built this barrier to protect our State from the West. Since 1945 they have been trying to control Berlin with their actions and their propaganda, and they have tried to get our people to leave so that our economy would suffer. The Wall has stopped this and helped to make Europe more stable. It has also prevented a Third World War. I believe that the Wall will still be standing in 50 years’time. |  |  |\n|  13110 |  | |\n\n*20GHR2104*  \n*20GHR2104*  \n| \u003Cbr> 13110 | (a) Source B and Source C give different views about the Berlin Wall.\u003C","cbCaijWqTANhfdPj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijWqTANhfdPj","pdf",356342,"English","# Section A\n## Source-based questions on USSR actions and international relations, 1945–1961\n# Section B\n## Compare views on the Berlin Wall\n## Explain reasons for differing interpretations\n## Evaluate convincingness of reasons for US-USSR tension by 1961\n## Judge agreement: blame for tensions over Berlin, 1945–1961","[{\"question\":\"What period does this History Unit 2 Outline Study focus on?\",\"answer\":\"The paper focuses on the period 1945 to 1961, examining how Soviet actions in Eastern Europe affected international relations.\"},{\"question\":\"What does Section A require students to do?\",\"answer\":\"Students must answer all questions in Section A, which are based on interpreting provided sources, including Source A about why the USA carried out the Berlin Airlift.\"},{\"question\":\"What tasks are included in Section B?\",\"answer\":\"Section B requires students to compare different views about the Berlin Wall, explain why the views differ, evaluate how convincing a historian’s view is about reasons for US-USSR tension by 1961, and judge how far both sides were to blame for tensions over Berlin from 1945 to 1961.\"}]","GCSE History - Unit 2 - Outline Study (GHR21) - Berlin Airlift and Cold War Tensions 1945–1961 | PDF"]
