Romille

if the castle was involved in any wars or battles with different groups or countries. Think about when and why the castle was built out of different materials.

Year 9 History answer guide wb 06/07/2020 and 13/07/2020

Week beginning 06/07/2020

1. On 27 November 1958, Khrushchev issued his Berlin Ultimatum. He demanded that: Berlin should be demilitarised and Western troops withdrawn and that Berlin should became a free city. The West had six months to make these changes or Khrushchev would hand over control of all routes into Berlin to the government of East Germany.

2. Khrushchev’s threat to hand over control of transport to the East Berlin government was a clever move. If this happened, it would force the Western powers to talk to the East German authorities and so force them to acknowledge East Germany was a legitimate country.

3. As the various parties prepared for the Paris talks, the Soviet Union made an announcement that destroyed any chance of those talks being successful. On 1 May, they had shot down an American U-2 spy- plane as it flew over the Soviet Union. The Americans tried to claim it was a weather plane that had blown off-course, but the Soviets interrogated the pilot, Gary Powers, who admitted to being on a spying mission. Although President Eisenhower was embarrassed by what had happened, he refused to apologise, saying that spying operations like this were unavoidable. Khrushchev walked out of the meeting and it ended with no decisions being made.

4. The Berlin Ultimatum had a major impact on international relations. The West was outraged by Khrushchev’s demands and saw his actions as another example of the Soviet Union trying to spread communism. Khrushchev, however, saw his demands as essential action to stop the flood of skilled citizens from East Germany. By 1958, both the USA and the Soviet Union had large numbers of nuclear weapons and neither side wanted this crisis to lead to war. Even the West German Chancellor, Adenauer, who was fiercely opposed to giving East Germany official recognition and believed West Germany was the only ‘real’ Germany, was not prepared to go to war over the issue of Berlin. So between 1959 and 1961, a series of talks were held to try to solve the ‘Berlin problem’.

5. Now Berlin was divided and the borders between East and West Germany were closed; there was less likelihood that the US and Soviet Union would go to war over Berlin. The Americans complained bitterly about the building of the Wall, but as Kennedy said, a wall was better than war. So, in some ways, the building of the Wall may have reduced tension between the USA and the Soviet Union

Week beginning 13/07/2020

1. The USA was extremely concerned that a pro-Soviet regime was being established just 145 kilometres from the US mainland and decided to take action to try to bring Cuba into line. In July 1960, Eisenhower reduced the amount of sugar the USA would buy from Cuba and in October banned all trade with the country. In January 1961, the USA broke off diplomatic relations with Cuba. 2. President Kennedy (who took over from Eisenhower in 1961) did not want a Communist ally so close to American territory. He therefore gave his support to a plan agreed by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Eisenhower before he was elected. The CIA suggested that a group of Cuban exiles could be trained to launch an invasion and overthrow Castro. Sending Cuban exiles would make the attack look like a Cuban counter- revolution, so the USA could claim not to have been involved. 3. Pushing disagreements to the point where there is a risk of war. In 1956 a former US Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, wrote, ‘If you are scared to go to the brink, you are lost’. 4.  In June 1963, a direct communications line was set up between Washington and Moscow. This became known as the ‘hotline’.  In August 1963, a Test Ban Treaty was signed by the United States, Soviet Union and Great Britain. The three states agreed to prohibit the testing of nuclear weapons in outer Space, underwater or in the atmosphere. This was an important step towards the control of nuclear weapons.  In 1967, the Outer Space Treaty was signed. As the USA and Soviet Union began a ‘Space race’, competing to explore Earth’s orbit, the Moon and beyond, the possibility of launching a military attack from Space was starting to look realistic. In this treaty, the USA and Soviet Union agreed not to use Space for military purposes. The treaty specifically ruled out putting nuclear weapons into orbit.  In 1968, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation* Treaty was signed to stop the spread of nuclear weapons. Countries that signed up to the treaty agreed not to share their nuclear technology with other countries. 5. The USA could block the Soviet ships from sailing to Cuba to stop any more missiles being set up on the island. However they couldn't sink the ships as this would have been considered an act of war by the Soviet Union and so would have started World War Three which was what everyone was trying to avoid. Blocking the ships meant that it was up to the Soviet Union to react instead of the USA. 6. In some ways the Cuban Missile Crisis actually led to the world becoming a safer place. It also led to a change in relations between Kennedy and Khrushchev. Kennedy had shown himself to be a strong leader, not only in standing up to Khrushchev, but also in confronting the Hawks in his own government. His popularity increased significantly in the United States, particularly as the agreement over Turkey had not been made public. This increased popularity gave him more confidence in his dealings with the Soviet Union. Khrushchev claimed that he had been the victor in the dispute, as he had guaranteed the security of Cuba. However, this was not the feeling in Moscow, where the military felt that they had been forced into a humiliating withdrawal. The unpopularity was a significant factor in Khrushchev’s dismissal in 1964.
