Titel 1 The Great Depression and the Americas

This section focuses on the causes and nature of the Great Depression as well as the different solutions adopted by governments in the region, and the impact on these societies. The Great Depression produced the most serious economic collapse in the history of the Americas. It affected every country in the region and brought about the need to rethink economic and political systems. The alternatives that were offered, and the adapta-tions that took place, marked a watershed in political and economic development in many countries in the region. With respect to the last three bullets, a case-study approach should be adopted, using one country from the region as an example. The chosen country should be identified in the
introduction to the examination answers.

• The Great Depression: political and economic causes in the Americas
• Nature and efficacy of solutions in the United States: Hoover; Franklin D Roosevelt and the New Deal
• Critics of the New Deal; impact of the New Deal on US political and economic systems
• Nature and efficacy of solutions in Canada: Mackenzie King and RB Bennett
• Impact of the Great Depression on Latin America; political instability and challenges to democracy; economic and social challenges
• Latin American responses to the Great Depression: import substitution industrialization (ISI); social and economic policies; popular mobilization and repression
• Impact of the Great Depression on society: specifically the impact on women and minorities; impact of the Great Depression on the arts and cul-ture

Titel 5 The Cold War and the Americas (1945–1981)

The Cold War and the Americas (1945–1981)
This section focuses on the development and impact of the Cold War on the region. Most of the second
half of the 20th century was dominated by the global conflict of the Cold War. Within the Americas, some countries were closely allied to the United States and some took sides reluctantly. Many remained neutral or sought to avoid involvement in Cold War struggles. A few, influenced by the Cuban Revolution, instituted socialist governments. No nation, however, escaped the pressures of the Cold War, which had a significant impact on the domestic and foreign policies of the countries of the region.

• Truman: containment and its implications for the Americas; the rise of McCarthyism and its effects on
domestic and foreign policies of the United States; social and cultural impact of the Cold War
• Korean War, the United States and the Americas: reasons for participation; military developments;
diplomatic and political outcomes
• Eisenhower and Dulles: New Look and its application; characteristics and reasons for the policy;
repercussions for the region
• United States’ involvement in Vietnam: the reasons for, and nature of, the involvement at different
stages; domestic effects and the end of the war; Canadian non-support of the war; Latin American
protest against the war
• United States’ foreign policies from Kennedy to Carter: the characteristics of, and reasons for, policies;
implications for the region: Kennedy’s Alliance for Progress; Nixon’s covert operations and Chile;
Carter’s quest for human rights and the Panama Canal Treaty (1977)
• Cold War in either Canada or one Latin American country: reasons for foreign and domestic policies
and their implementation
