Each response is accompanied by a brief commentary explaining its strengths and weaknesses of the answer. These examiner comments indicate where and why marks were awarded and how answers could have been improved. These answers should be considered in conjunction with Specimen Paper 1 and the Mark Scheme. The Specimen Paper and Mark Scheme are available to download from School Support Hub.

In July 1642, England finally descended into civil war after years of political wrangling and empty promises between Parliament and King Charles I. The two sides had disagreed over money, religion, and how political power should be distributed. The opposing sides became known as the ‘Roundheads’ (Parliamentarians) and ‘Cavaliers’ (Royalists). During the early years of war, most Parliamentarians merely wanted to force the king to see the error of his ways and have some of his powers curbed by Parliament. It was not, as yet, an objective to abolish the monarchy.

Whereas the French had more than 900 heavy guns, the British had barely half this number for a wider front. Additional handicaps were recounted in the History of the Great War Based on Official Documents (British Official History), which states that the problem that confronted British Commander in Chief Douglas Haig was, fundamentally, that of “storming a fortress…It must be confessed that the problem was not appreciated at G.H.Q. (general headquarters).” Instead, “the failures of the past were put down to reasons other than the stout use of the machine-gun by the enemy and his scientifically-planned defences.”

Social Studies- The Spread of Islam

(0)
The prophet Mohammed (PBUH) was sent to bring a message of mercy to all the human beings. The message of islam began to spread from Mecca to Al- Hijaz, it then spread outside the Arab Peninsula reaching the entire world. But when some rulers refused to tell their people about islam, the Muslims began to move towards these regions. The people were given a free choice to join islam or to stick to their own beliefs. The messengers of islam were able to spread the message of islam peacefully. Pious followers of the Prophet settled in the mosques and began to teach Islam to the people. In other countries Islam had little or no impact. This was largely because of the strong beliefs that people already had.

Describe and evaluate the development of Fenianism within the Irish Diaspora. It was fuelled ambitiously by a nationalist ideological nature and indeed evolved from pre-existing movements drilled by revolutionary inspirations. The Fenian movement is well documented despite being viewed as an illegal organisation. It can be suggested that the Fenian movement blossomed from the decay of the Young Irelanders and flourished from its influences based on the continents struggles for freedom during a period of (which was known as) the ‘springtime of the people’.

At its core was a belief in the use and celebration of reason, the power by which humans understand the universe and improve their own condition. The goals of rational humanity were considered to be knowledge, freedom, and happiness.

The outbreak of the English civil wars between royalists and parliamentarians in 1642 led to the execution of the English king, Charles I, on January 30th 1649. Horrified by this, hundreds of English royalists fled to Ireland to regroup. The English parliament was now encircled by threats from Scotland and Ireland. Both declared their loyalty to Charles Stuart (Charles I’s son), while England became a republic and appointed Cromwell as lord lieutenant of Ireland.
Bastille

Bastille

(0)
On July 14th 1789, a crowd of several thousand people laid siege to the Bastille, a royal fortress, prison and armoury in eastern Paris. After a standoff of several hours, they gained access to the Bastille, overwhelmed its guards and murdered its governor. The fall of the Bastille was chiefly symbolic. The French Revolution would have days of greater political significance. Despite this, the fall of the Bastille has shaped our perceptions of the French Revolution, giving us powerful images of an outraged people in revolution.
