 Section ONE: Answer ONE question.

You should spend about 45 minutes on this section.

A1. The origins and course of the First World War, 1905–18

a) Explain two features of either the Gallipoli Campaign or the U-Boat campaign. (6 marks)
b) Study source A and B

Source A: A German soldier’s eyewitness account of July 1916 on the Somme.

At 7.30 a.m. the hurricane of shells ceased as suddenly as it had begun. Our men at once clambered
up the deep shafts leading from the dugouts. The machine guns were hurriedly put in position. A
series of long lines of infantry were seen moving forward from the British trenches. They came on at a
steady pace as if expecting to find nothing alive in our front trenches. a few moments later, when the
leading British line was within a hundred yards, the rattle of machine-gun fire broke out. Whole
sections of the line seemed to fall. All along the line, men could be seen throwing up their and
collapsing, never to move again.

Source B: Prime Minister David Lloyd George commenting on General Haig.

He had courage and stubbornness. But he did not possess the necessary breadth of vision or
imagination to plan a campaign some of the ablest generals of the war. I never met a man in high
position who seemed to be utterly devoid of imagination.

How far does source A support the evidence of source B about Haig’s lack of ability to plan a
campaign?

Explain your answer. (8 marks)

c) Study Extract C

Extract C: From a modern history book, writing about General Haig.

Haig was not deflected from his purpose. Only a man of his honesty and great strength of character
would have remained and done what he did. He continued to follow the strategy he believed to be
right. The events of 1918 proved it was right. it is doubtful whether anyone else could have done it so
well.

Extract C suggests that Haig was a good general.

How far do you agree with this interpretation?
