Probably not - Just not enough content specifically on them.
'By early 1976, Deng Xiaoping's political position was secure.' Explain why you agree or disagree with this view - 24 marker Jan 11 (Not about the GOF per se, but they would still form a large part of your answer)
'The Cultural Revolution had ended the power struggle within the Communist Party leadership by 1966.' Explain why you agree or disagree with this view' - 24 marker June 10 (Once again, GOF will form a large part of your answer)
I doubt they're going to ask a question specifically about the Gang of Four, but any question set after the Cultural Revolution is going to involve them so I wouldn't rule them out. Plus, they've only ever come up in 24 mark questions so they're worth revising. -

Generally, when ever someone talks about Mao's consolidation of power it's from 49-53.
There are three huge factors that he used:
1) Repression and Terror ( Labour Camps )
2) Mass Campaigns ( Resist America and Aid Korea 1950 )
3) Reforms ( Land Reforms etc ) -

Overall - Great Leap Forward was much more radical than the first five year plan and had mostly different aims. -

Here's what I put for the questions
:
1A). Source 12 marks.
Differences: Source A talks of "recruitment drive" and voluntary recruits, whereas, Source B talks of compulsion via "fear and terror". Also Source A doesn't talk about requisitioning of food, whereas, B does.
Provenance: I said how Chang was biased against Mao and the American observer was unbiased.
Similarities: Both talk of the Civil War and recruitment to the PLA.
1B). Source 24 marks.
Para 1 - Peasants
Para 2 - Guerrilla tactics
Para 3 - Chiang's leadership was poor
Para 4 - Motivation of the PLA
5A). Mao's successor difficulty 12 marks.
Factor 1 - Lin Biao betrayed Mao.
F2 - Hua Guofeng wasn't a good leader (gullible etc.).
F3 - Zhou was too moderate and Qing was too radical.
5B). Cultural Rev. 24 marks.
Weakened the CPC:
Youth lost faith in Mao after being sent to the countryside/schools closed - lack of skills to get jobs, etc.
PLA took 2yrs to stabilise RG violence - Showed the Party could barely keep the youth under control, never mind the nation.
Strengthened the CPC:
Eradicated Old China - Replaced with Maoist propaganda. Influenced people.
Reignited the revolutionary fervour - Youth involved in continuing revolution via class struggle against bourgeoisie. Made them likely to agree with the revolution.
Are my points okay? -

How much did you write for the CR question? I believe it was how the CPC was weakened by the events of the CR so i talked about the Shanghai radicals, the new revolutionary committee's (1/3 CPC, 1/3 revolutionary rebels, 1/3 PLA) and how that the politsburo ceased to function and the Cultural Revolution Group performed this roleAre my points okay?
Also: I wrote Hua Guofeng when I meant Wang HongwenWill I lose marks? A whole paragraph was on how Hua (when I meant Wang) was gullible and a poor leader for the 12 mark CR Q. Also said Lin Biao wanted to keep the Vice-Premier position when I meat State Chairman. Damn!
