QUESTION 4: EXTENSION OF THE COLD WAR – CASE STUDY: VIETNAM

[Plan and construct an argument based on evidence using analytical and interpretative skills]

SYNOPSISCandidates should indicate whether they agree or disagree with the statement. They need to discuss how the military tactics of the United States were ineffective to fight a guerrilla war and therefor the reason why they lost. However this short coming of the United States was not the only reason why they had to withdraw from Vietnam in 1973. In taking a specific line of argument, they need to support their response with reasons.

MAIN ASPECTSCandidates should include the following aspects in their response:

Introduction: Candidates should take a line of argument by indicating whether the military tactics of the USA was the only reason for their defeat in Vietnam.

ELABORATION The reasons for the US involvement in Vietnam: stop the spread of communism The Gulf of Tonkin incident which led to the military involvement of the US in

Vietnam The US was ill-equipped and not trained to fight a guerrilla war in Vietnam. They lost out to the more experienced Viet Cong who knew the jungles and had

support of the local people The US embark on a ‘search and destroy’ tactics, destroying whole villages of

people The US started the mass aerial bombing ‘Operation Rolling Thunder’ which was

ineffective ‘Operation Ranch Hand’ in which chemical weapons (Agent Orange) were used

to deforest the jungle and Napalm to intimidate and destroy the Vietnamese people

These tactics lost the USA a great deal of support among Vietnamese people (North and South) but also fuelled the anti-war feeling back in the US

The US search and destroy missions led to the Mai Lai Massacre which resulted in the deaths of civilians

The role of the media, students at Kent University were shot by police, this turned war sentiment against US involvement in Vietnam

The Tet Offensive by the Vietcong made US realise that they cannot win this war Nixon’s Vietnamisation policy failed and he made a commitment that US will

withdraw from Vietnam Anti – war protest were gaining momentum across the USA (Washing DC protest) US withdrawal started in 1973 and Saigon fell to the Vietcong in 1975 Any other relevant response Conclusion: Candidates should tie up their argument with a relevant conclusion

QUESTION 5: INDEPENDENT AFRICA – COMPARATIVE CASE STUDY: THE CONGO AND TANZANIA[Plan and construct an argument based on evidence using analytical and interpretative skills]

Page 14:  · Web viewSource 2C – Evidence of Namibia’s independence from South Africa on 21 March, 1988 Source 2B – The peace treaty signed in New York required South Africa to implement

SYNOPSISCandidates should undertake a comparative discussion on the political and economic challenges facing the Congo and Tanzania

MAIN ASPECTSCandidates should include the following aspects in their response:

Introduction: Candidates should focus on the nature of the post-colonial leaders in both the Congo and Tanzania from the 1960’s to the 1980’s.

ELABORATIONSimilarities-Economy

Congo and Tanzania inherited single product industries from the colonist At independence both countries lacked manufacturing industries Both countries had few qualified technicians and engineers Neither country had oil reserves so both countries suffered economic crisis when

oil prices rose Mobutu and Nyerere privatised sectors of the economy due to economic crises Both countries took loans from the IMF and World Bank Congo received financial aid from capitalist countries (West) Tanzania took loans from International Financial Institutions and was subjected

to Structural Adjustment Plans This further brought economic hardship to ordinary Tanzanians Neither country succeeded in developing a significant manufacturing industry Both countries remained reliant on the export of agricultural products and

minerals

Differences-Economy The Congo embraced a capitalist economic system: Tanzania adopted a socialist

economic model The Congo relied on foreign aid and expertise: Tanzania attempted to be self-

sufficient and rejected neo-colonialism The Congo aimed to industrialise and develop the manufacturing sectors:

Tanzania built an agricultural base, villigisation policy of Ujamaa The Congo’s economy was characterised by elitism: Tanzania reduced corruption

of government officials through the leadership code The Congo economy produce differences in wealth between the rich and poor:

Tanzania attempted to minimise inequality

Political Julius Nyerere (President 1961-1985) One of the few African leaders to voluntarily retire, known for his personal

integrity. He was opposed to elitism and extravagance, a socialist, a dictator (banned all

opposition parties); He used the 1962 Preventative Detention Act to imprison those who opposed

him; Committed to economic as well as political independence (although Tanzania

came to depend heavily on foreign aid due to the failure of his policies)

Page 15:  · Web viewSource 2C – Evidence of Namibia’s independence from South Africa on 21 March, 1988 Source 2B – The peace treaty signed in New York required South Africa to implement

Nyerere emphasised the importance of unifying the nation and developing a Tanzanian identity – he made Kiswahili the official language,

He was an African socialist (all land and industry was nationalized), One party state (although membership of TANU was voluntary and open to

people of all languages, ethnicity and region). Attempted to remain non-aligned in Cold War;

Congo: Mobutu Sese Seko became dictator of Congo in 1965 to 1997 Relatively stable after Mobutu came to power in a military coup d’etat, but mainly

because all opposition was banned, silenced and executions of political opponents

Military dictatorship, kleptocracy, capitalist (private ownership of wealth created great divisions between rich and poor);

One party state; Mobutu had all power within the party and membership was compulsory for all citizens;

Conclusion: Candidates should sum up their argument with a relevant conclusion [50]

heritage Stokely Carmichael’s Black Panthers was in favour of African clothing and

African hairstyles as a symbol of Black Pride (Black is Beautiful) Bobby Searle and Huey Newton were involved in initiating and supporting

community based programmes They also embarked on feeding schemes as well as anti-poverty centres Their focus was on socio-economic conditions of African Americans and also operated community survival programmes Ten (10) point plan served as the Black Panther Party manifesto that covered
