PAPER 1

SOURCE-BASED QUESTION 1 — ORIGINS OF THE COLD WAR 🔥🔥🔥

Study:

 Chapter 1: Origins of the Cold War

 OLP Lesson 2

 2024 SACAI November Paper 1 — Question 1

The actual 2024 question was:

Why did the United States of America and the USSR compete for European domination after 1945?

This question covered the Marshall Plan, USA–USSR rivalry, Cominform, American influence in
Europe and comparison/interpretation of Cold War sources.

SOURCE-BASED QUESTION 3 — US CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT 🔥🔥🔥

Study:

 Chapter 10: US Civil Rights Movement

 OLP Lesson 10

 2024 SACAI November Paper 1 — Question 3

The actual 2024 question was:

How did conservative white Americans respond to the integration of Central High School in Little
Rock, Arkansas, in 1957?

So definitely know Little Rock Nine, school integration/desegregation, Governor Faubus, National
Guard, Daisy Bates/NAACP, opposition from conservative whites and African-American rights.

ESSAY QUESTION 4 — VIETNAM 🔥🔥🔥

Study:

 Chapter 3: How was a small country like Vietnam able to win a war against the USA?

 Chapter 4: Stages in the war

 OLP Lessons 3 & 4

 2024 SACAI November Paper 1 — Question 4

The 2024 essay asked learners to evaluate the Vietnam War with particular reference to casualties,
chemical weapons and extensive media coverage.

This means learners need to know the whole argument around why the USA failed / Vietnam
succeeded, including Vietcong guerrilla tactics, Ho Chi Minh Trail, US strategies, Operation Rolling
