The following 2 questions refer to the excerpt below. “Relations between the United States and England are determined by two basic circumstances. On the one hand, the United States regards England as its greatest potential competitor ; on the other hand, England constitutes a possible ally for the United States. Division of certain regions of the globe into spheres of influence of the United States and England would create the opportunity, of not for preventing competition between them, which is impossible, then at least of reducing it. At the same time, such a division facilitates the achievement of economic and political cooperation between them.... The present policy of the American government with regard to the USSR is also directed at limiting or dislodging the influence of the Soviet Union from neighboring countries. In implementing this policy in former enemy or Allied countries adjacent to the USSR, the United States attempts...to support reactionary forces with the purpose of creating obstacles to the process of democratization of these countries. In so doing, it also attempts to secure positions for the penetration of American capital into their economies. Such a policy is intended to weaken and overthrow the democratic governments in power there, which are friendly toward the USSR, and replace them in the future with new governments that would obediently carry out a policy dictated from the United States.” Nikolai Vasilevich Novikov, Report to Foreign Minister Molotov, Sept. 27, 1946. Which of the following was the most direct consequence of the attitudes expressed in the passage above? a. Revolts developed throughout Eastern Europe in response to Soviet economic policies. b.

The following 2 questions refer to the excerpt below.

“Relations between the United States and England are determined by two basic circumstances. On the one hand, the United States regards England as its greatest potential competitor; on the other hand, England constitutes a possible ally for the United States. Division of certain regions of the globe into spheres of influence of   the United States and England would create the opportunity, of not for preventing competition between them, which is impossible, then at least of reducing it.

The present policy of the American government with regard to the USSR is also directed at limiting or dislodging the influence of the Soviet Union from neighboring countries.

In so doing, it also attempts to secure positions for the penetration of American capital into their economies. Such a policy is intended to weaken and overthrow the democratic governments in power there, which are friendly toward the USSR, and replace them in the future with new governments that would obediently carry out a policy dictated from the United States.”

Questions 22.1–22.3 refer to the following excerpt.

“[Existentialism’s] intention is not in the least that of plunging men into despair. And if by despair one means as the Christians do – any attitude of unbelief, the despair of the existentialists is something different. Existentialism is not atheist in the sense that it would exhaust itself in demonstrations of the non-existence of God. It declares, rather, that even if God existed that would make no difference from its point of view. Not that we believe God does exist, but we think that the real problem is not that of His existence; what man needs is to find himself again and to understand that nothing can save him from himself, not even a valid proof of the existence of God.”

The following 2 questions refer to the excerpt below.

“Two complex sets of factors have now basically altered this historical distribution of power. First, the defeat of Germany and Japan and the decline of the British and French Empires have interacted with the development of the United States and the Soviet Union in such a way that power has increasingly gravitated to these two centers. Second, the Soviet Union…is animated by a new fanatic faith…and seeks to impose its absolute authority over the rest of the world….

As for the policy of ‘containment,’ it is one which seeks by all means short of war to (1) block further expansion of Soviet power, (2) expose the falsities of Soviet pretensions, (3) induce a retraction of the Kremlin's control and influence….

In summary, we must, by means of a rapid and sustained build-up of the political, economic, and military strength of the free world…confront [the Soviet Union] with convincing evidence of the determination and ability of the free world to frustrate the Kremlin….”

The following 4 questions refer to the excerpt below.

“Perestroika is an urgent necessity arising from the profound processes of developing in our socialist society. This society is ripe for change.

In the latter half of the seventies…the country began to lose momentum. The great feeling of solidarity with each other that was forged during the heroic times of

the Revolution [1917], the first five-year plans, the Great Patriotic War [World War II]…was weakening. Alcoholism, drug addiction and crime were growing….

There are people in the West who would like to tell us that socialism is in deep crisis and has brought our society to a dead end. We have only one way out, they say: to drift toward capitalism.

“Concerns about the birth-rate had long exercised public officials; with increased use of contraceptives across the social spectrum helping to lower the birth-rate to the levels of the hard-bitten 1930s, government agencies placed great stress on family life with an eye toward encouraging women to bear more children. Indeed, the welfare state as envisaged by William Beveridge, himself an eager imperialist, had been designed to “ensur[e] the adequate continuance of the British Race and of the British Ideal in the world,” and family allowances gained acceptance from as many quarters as it did because it was sold as an inducement to more childbearing. Stimulated by many diverse concerns, not least of them a fear about what effects separation from their mothers might have had on children evacuated during the war, a pro-natalist discourse emerged in the 1940s, urging women to recognize and act upon their maternal functions – to have babies – and counseling them on the dangers of going out to work and leaving young children in the care of others.”

In 1945, this nation proposed…to internationalize the atom before other nations even possessed the bomb…

We proposed with our allies the disarmament plan of 1951 while still at war in Korea.

And we make our proposals today, while building up our defenses over Berlin, not because we are inconsistent or insincere or intimidated, but because we know the rights of free men will prevail…

I therefore propose…that disarmament negotiations resume promptly…But this year, while we were negotiating in good faith in Geneva, others were secretly preparing new experiments in destruction…”

Questions 11.1–11.3 refer to the following excerpt.

When communal riots take place, they are always provoked by incidents over cows and by religious processions.

The following 2 questions refer to the excerpt below.

“(Women) have gained only what men have been willing to grant; they have taken nothing, they have only received.

The reason for this is that women lack concrete means for organizing themselves into a unit which can stand face-to-face with the correlative unit. They have no past, no history, no religion of their own; and they have no such solidarity of work and interest as that of the proletariat. They are not even promiscuously herded together in the way that creates community feeling among the American Negroes, the ghetto Jews, the workers of Saint-Denis, or the factory hands at Renault. They live dispersed among the males, attached through residence, housework, economic condition, and social standing to certain men—fathers or husbands—more firmly than they are to other women.”

Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex, 1949

Which of the following historical developments most directly supports the argument expressed in the excerpt?

a. World War I created a “lost generation,” fostered cynicism, and transformed the lives of women.b. With economic recovery after World War II, the birth rate increased dramatically, often promoted by government policies. c. While women gained the right to vote after World War I, they continued to face social inequalities. d. During World War I and World War II, many Western European women served their armed forces in non-combat roles.

Simone de Beauvoir’s view as expressed in the passage above best reflects which of the following twentieth-century cultural trends?

a. Feminists pressed for legal, economic, and political rights for women, as well as improved working conditions.

b. Bourgeois families became focused on the “cult of domesticity,” embracing distinct gender roles for men and womenc. The middle-class notion of compassionate marriage began to be adopted by the working classes.d.

Questions 26.1–26.3 refer to the following excerpts.

“According to French law, obedience is no longer included among the duties of a wife, and each woman citizen has the right to vote…A woman…is not emancipated from the male because she has a ballot in her hand…It is through gainful employment that woman has traversed most of the distance that separated her from the male…”

Although women continued to differ from men in sexual outlook and behavior—more than twice as many French women as men, for example, hoped to link sex, marriage, and romantic love, according to 1960s polls—more women than before tended to define sex in terms of pleasure.”

—Peter Stearns, et al, World Civilizations: The Global Experience, 2011

“THERE ARE those who maintain that Africa cannot unite because we lack the three necessary ingredients for unity, a common race, culture and language. It is true that we have for centuries been divided. The territorial boundaries dividing us were fixed long ago, often quite arbitrarily, by the colonial powers…At present most of the independent African States are moving in directions which expose us to the dangers of imperialism and neo-colonialism…

In my view, therefore, a united Africa…should seek three objectives: 

Firstly, we should have an over-all economic planning on a continental basis…

Secondly, we should aim at the establishment of a unified military and defence strategy…

The third objective [is] for us to adopt a unified foreign policy and diplomacy…

Information that could be used in a correct answer:

Part A) Political changes led to attack on Sarajevo

A general discussion of these issues would deserve credit:

Yugoslavia was created at the end of World War I. The regions in Yugoslavia—Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Kosovo—were technically separate republics within Yugoslavia.

Josif Tito used cult of personality to hold Yugoslavia together, while remaining free of Soviet control. When he died in 1980, without his personal control Yugoslavia gradually fell apart through civil war into its nationalistic regions.

Slobodan Milosevic came to power and increased the tension by siding with Serbs, no matter what region they lived in.

Ethnic violence erupted as Serbs and those against Serb control fought for a return to a unified Yugoslav government. This tension was especially strong between the Serbs and Croats.

The U.S. and Western Europe generally sided with the anti-Serb peoples, as they struggled to become and remain independent.

In 1992, when the Serbs and Croats tried to divide Bosnia-Herzegovina, Sarajevo (the capital of Bosnia) was caught in the middle of the Serbian “ethnic cleansing.”

Part C) United States involvement in the region

A general discussion of these issues would deserve credit:

The U.S. had very little direct, singular involvement in the conflicts around Sarajevo. It supported actions taken by the United Nations and NATO, including negotiations and

airstrikes. However, the U.S. later hosted the peace negotiations in Dayton, Ohio, recognizing Bosnia as

independent. The U.S., as a part of NATO forces, has worked to maintain peace in the region, including

the supporting the independence and recognition of Kosovo.

John Paul II led the Catholic Church to have a major role in the world. First, simply his papacy was a change in that he was the first non-Italian pope since the

1500s. Second, he took a stand against communism, from his cardinalship in Poland to his papacy in

Rome. As pope, he visited Poland, supporting the Solidarity movement, thus encouraging people to stand up against Soviet control in Eastern Europe.

Third, he visited with world leaders, becoming a close friend of many. He took an especially strong stand when he met and talked with Mikhail Gorbachev.

Fourth, he helped the church encourage social justice around the world, creating many cardinals from developing nations.
