Unit 6 Cold War Sources Paper - Edexcel A2

As long as you based your arguments on what the sources suggest you should be fine. As in you don't have to go into detail analyzing quotes...But source contextualisation/comparison etc is about triple weighted compared to the use of your own knowledge I believe.

yeah use of sources is 75%

well for source 1 there was NOTHING we can really write about...well at least for me! I didn't get it so i kept saying that USA+USSR foreign policy clash over berlin.
basically i contextualised the sources but i dunno if THAT counts as part of analysing sources :s oh well i guess we gotta wait n see!

why couldn't anyone use sourse 1??
it was the berlin blockade! they had good quotes in there on what it actually was.

In source 1 I mentioned the Berlin Blockade. I thought that I had spotted something important there, until a thread above stated that the date on Source 1 was 14 June, not 24 June when the Blockade begun. So surely talking about the Blockade is not putting it in context if it was before. Or am I wrong? :s-smilie:

I thought the source was written after the blockade but if it wasn't they were still talking about the implications of a blockade and the problems it could cause. And they were talking about the effects of the blockade and what it did, such as blocking american attempts at spreading anti-communism.
