17. How useful are Sources A and B as evidence of the division of Europe after 1945?
Source A: A part of a speech made by Winston Churchill at Fulton, Missouri, USA, March 1946
From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent. Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and Eastern Europe. All these famous cities and the populations around them lie in what I must call the Soviet sphere, and all are subject in one form or another, not only to Soviet influence but to a very high and, in many cases, increasing measure of control from Moscow.
Source B: A British cartoon of 1946 entitled ‘A peep under the iron curtain.’ The figure at the front represents Winston Churchill

20. Q4. Describe the key features of the arms race. 6
One of the key features of the arms race was the competition between the superpowers to obtain nuclear superiority. Between 1945 – 49 the USA held the nuclear monopoly, however the USSR was able to catch up and with the help of spies were able to build their first nuclear weapon, three years ahead of what the USA expected. This now gave rise to the development and the building of the hydrogen bomb. A bomb a 1000 times more powerful than the bombs created in Both superpowers were able to build these bombs in Apart from stockpiling and building more bombs, the arms race started to focus on the development of new technology and delivery systems in order to deliver the nuclear weapons to their intended targets.
