Source A is about tanks on the Western Front.

Thirty-six tanks led the way in an attack at Flers. The sudden appearance of the new weapon stunned their German
opponents. However, Sir Douglas Haig used them before they were truly battle ready in an attempt to break the
trench stalemate. These early tanks were very slow moving. They often broke down. Tanks often became stuck in the
heavy mud of no man’s land. Conditions for the tank crews were awful. The heat generated inside the tank was
tremendous and fumes often nearly choked the men inside.

Source B is about the importance of the slave trade to Britain’s economy.

The slave trade was considered essential to Britain’s economy in the eighteenth century. For example, the slave
trade had raised Liverpool from a struggling port to one of the richest and most prosperous trading centres in the
world. The slave trade provided work in almost every industry in the town. Slave cotton provided work for the mills
of Lancashire. However, little thought was given to the suffering of those involved in its production. Merchants made
huge profits importing sugar from the Caribbean, a product which was in great demand.

Source C describes opposition in Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1939.

Some workers protested by refusing to give Nazi salutes. Others rebelled by not turning up for work at all. Some
even damaged factory machinery or equipment. In 1939 one factory worker, Georg Elser, was so angered by the lack
of workers’ rights that he planted a bomb in a hall where Hitler was scheduled to speak. Elser’s timing was perfect;
however, Hitler had finished his speech several minutes early and was no longer on stage by the time the bomb
detonated.

Source A describes the changing role of women during the Great War.

The Great War was a crucial time for women. This is because it gave women an opportunity to prove themselves in a
male-dominated society, doing more than cleaning the house and looking after children. With so many men going to
war, there was a large gap in employment and women responded by replacing men in the workplace. The Women’s
Royal Air Force was created, where women worked on planes as mechanics. Some of the less well known roles of
women in the war included selling war bonds.
