P283-Q1. “At school the teachers say it is our patriotic duty to stop using foreign words. I didn’t know what they meant by this at first, but now I see it—you must no longer say ‘adieu’ [‘farewell’] because that is French. It is in order to say ‘lebwohl’ [‘farewell’ in German] instead. We also have a little tin box in which we’ll put some small change in every time we slip up and use a foreign word. The contents of this little war savings box will go towards buying knitting wool. We must now knit woollen things for the soldiers.” Diary of a twelve-year old German girl, August 1914 The passage above best exemplifies which of the following processes shortly after the outbreak of the First World War?

“Our country needs a large population to utilize and exploit its land and natural resources. In general, the way to increase a country’s population is to increase the number of births and to decrease the number of deaths. Some European states adopt a number of methods to increase their birth rates: (1) additional government services are provided to people who are married and have many children; (2) discounts and tax rebates on expenses related to the education of children are provided; (3) awards are given to families with many children.
In Iran, due to the special impact of our national morals and religious traditions, families have many children. Therefore, the best means to increase the Iranian population is to take measures to decrease the death rate. More governmental physicians and health officials are needed to prevent the wasting of the country’s human capital.
Due to the lack of literature on child rearing available to Iranian mothers, and due to the absence of sufficient means for the treatment of ill children, more than 50% of all children born to Iranian families die before the age of seven. Through instructions and acquainting people with the literature on child rearing, as well as by providing families with free medical treatment, at least 90% of children could live to reach adolescence. In this context, patriotic women’s organizations must carry out serious and efficient actions to help invigorate the management of the country’s health.”
Fereydun Keshavarz, Iranian pediatrician, article published in an Iranian newspaper, 1937
P289-Q14. As described by Keshavarz in the first paragraph, which of the following would best explain why European countries were implementing policies to increase the size of their populations?
(A) They had adopted Marxist economic philosophy. (B) They wanted to address the effects of the First World War and mobilize for future conflicts. (C) They needed to employ the workers who had lost their jobs in the Great Depression. (D) They feared a popular backlash against the economic and social costs of the welfare state.
Answer: (B)
“By the 1930s, many Europeans were ready to leave behind the liberal, democratic order created after 1918 by Britain, France, and the United States for a more authoritarian future. What they did not bargain for was the brutal reality of Nazi imperialism and the denial of all national aspirations apart from German ones. . . . No experience was more crucial to the development of Europe in the twentieth century. As both Hitler and Stalin were well aware, the Second World War involved something far more profound than a series of military engagements and diplomatic negotiations; it was a struggle for the social and political future of the continent itself. And such was the shock of being subjected to a regime of unprecedented and unremitting violence that in the space of eight years a sea-change took place in Europeans’ political and social attitudes, and they rediscovered the virtues of democracy. . . . Hitler’s war aimed at the complete racial reconstitution of Europe. There were no historical parallels for such a project. In Europe, neither Napoleon nor the Habsburgs had aimed at gaining such exclusive domination. In its violence and racism, Nazi imperialism drew more from European precedents in Asia, Africa, and—especially—the Americas. ‘When we eat wheat from Canada,’ remarked Hitler one evening during the war, ‘we don’t think about the despoiled Indians.’ On another occasion he described the Ukraine as [Germany’s] ‘new Indian Empire.’ But if Europeans would have resented being ruled as the British ruled India, they were shocked at being submitted to an experience closer to that inflicted upon the native populations of the Americas.” Mark Mazower, British historian, Dark Continent: Europe’s Twentieth Century, 2000
P290-Q15. Which of the following was the most important factor behind Europeans’ readiness to embrace authoritarian political systems in the 1930s?
(A) Dissatisfaction with the welfare state (B) Admiration for the economic achievement of the Soviet Union under Stalin (C) The economic crisis caused by the Great Depression (D) Resentment of United States mass culture and consumer society
Answer: (C)
P290-Q16. Based on the passage, it can be inferred that Mazower might also support which of the following assertions?
(A) The industrial capacity of the United States doomed Hitler’s project for a Nazi-dominated Europe to failure from the start. (B) The Nazis’ rigidly ideological approach to empire building prevented them from consolidating their control of continental Europe. (C) Ordinary Germans’ revulsion at the genocidal policies of the Nazi Party as the Second World War progressed would have resulted in a revolution in Germany even if Hitler had won the military conflict. (D) Stalin’s modernization policies would have enabled the Soviet Union to defeat Nazi Germany regardless of Hitler’s policies.
Answer: (B)
Hitler’s policies. “Since 1930, the Brazilian government has been undertaking a social policy whose main goal is to protect the working classes through the betterment of their working conditions, elevating their standard of life and extending the social security system. Indeed, the 1937 constitution proclaims that work is a social duty and establishes that it is the government’s responsibility to guarantee the fulfillment of this duty by securing favorable conditions for workers and protecting them. In this way, the constitution guarantees the right of organization, recognizes the current unions as representatives of the workers, and authorizes the signing of collective-bargaining agreements. Salaries are protected and must provide a minimum standard of life. The workday is eight hours long, and there is one mandatory day of rest. Paid vacations are mandatory. Workers are protected against unjustified dismissal. Minors under 14 years old are not allowed to work, and women and men under 18 years old cannot work in unhealthy sites. The constitution establishes that the state must provide medical assistance to workers, and it must protect maternity and create insurance against old age and disability. The constitution also compels professional associations to assist its members. In order to enforce these principles, the constitution anticipates the creation of a Work Tribunal whose goal will be to arbitrate in all work-related litigation.” Document produced by the Brazilian government of Getúlio Vargas circa 1940; Vargas had come to power in 1930 following a military coup.

Answer: (B)
P291-Q19. Which of the following best explains a potentially significant limitation of using the document for understanding the reforms described in the passage in Brazil?

(C) The document likely ignores the deep tensions that existed between workers and union leaders. (D) The document likely ignores some economic problems that might have occurred because of the reforms.
Answer: (D)
“In view of the outbreak of war between Great Britain and Turkey, which occurred because of the ill-advised, unprovoked, and deliberate action of the Ottoman government, His Majesty’s government has made a public announcement regarding the holy places of Arabia, the holy shrines of Mesopotamia, and the port of Jeddah, which is as follows. His Majesty’s most loyal Muslim subjects should understand that His Majesty’s government is not fighting this war because of religion. The British navy and its military forces will not attack the holy places of Arabia or Jeddah unless the Turks interfere with pilgrimages from India to the holy places and shrines in question.

“The peace conditions imposed upon Germany are so hard, so humiliating, that those who had even the tiniest hope for a ‘just peace’ are bound to be deeply disappointed. Our condemnation of the lust of power and conquest that Germany displayed during the war is strong and unwavering. But a condemnation of wartime actions must not amount to a lasting condemnation of an entire nation. The question is not whether the Germans have been led astray by their leaders, or whether they have been willing accomplices in the misdeeds of those leaders—the question is, whether it is in the interest of mankind to punish the German people as the Entente governments seem to have decided to do. The Entente evidently desires the complete annihilation of Germany. Not only will its whole commercial fleet be confiscated, but its shipbuilding yards will be obliged to work for the foreigner for some time to come. Whole regions of Germany will be entirely deprived of their liberty; they will be under a committee of foreign domination, without adequate representation. The financial burden is so heavy that it is no exaggeration to say that Germany is reduced to economic bondage. The Germans will have to work hard and incessantly for foreign masters, without any chance of personal gain, or any prospect of regaining liberty or economic independence. This ‘peace’ offered to Germany is a mockery of President Wilson’s principles. Trusting in these, Germany surrendered and accepted peace. That confidence has been betrayed in such a manner that all Germans must now feel that they wish to shake off the heavy yoke imposed on them by the cajoling Entente. And we fear very much that they will soon find the opportunity to do so. Chained and enslaved, Germany will always remain a menace to Europe.” Algemeen Handelsblad, Dutch liberal newspaper, editorial on the Treaty of Versailles, June 1919
P293-Q26. The mention of “President Wilson’s principles” is most directly significant to understanding the editorial’s point of view about the Treaty of Versailles because of the United States president’s commitment to
(A) establish an international organization to prevent future conflicts (B) work to create nation-states for ethnic minorities that had been under imperial control (C) broker a peace agreement on liberal principles that would not be motivated by revenge (D) resist the spread of Bolshevism following the Russian Revolution
Answer: (C)
P294-Q27. Which of the following accurately explains the historical significance of the harsh conditions imposed on Germany that the editorial describes?
(A) They led to a successful communist revolution in Germany. (B) They triggered a massive wave of emigration from Germany. (C) They resulted in the virtual deindustrialization of Germany. (D) They encouraged the rise of political extremism in Germany.
Answer: (D)
P294-Q28. Which of the following true statements about the Netherlands best explains how the newspaper’s national origin likely influenced the view of Germany expressed in the editorial?
(A) The Netherlands, by remaining neutral during the war, profited significantly from helping Germany evade the Entente’s naval blockade. (B) The Netherlands, like Germany before the war, had a significant overseas empire. (C) The Netherlands, like Germany, had a large merchant fleet. (D) The Netherlands, like Germany until 1918, was a constitutional monarchy, although the Dutch monarchs had less effective power than the German kaiser.
Answer: (A)
P294-Q29. Which of the following best supports the contention that the First World War was the first total war?
(A) Governments mobilized large segments of their populations and economies and targeted their opponents’ military and economic capabilities. (B) The militaries of all major powers used the most advanced weaponry available to them. (C) All the major European powers were involved in the war. (D) Many of the countries on the victorious side of the war were weakened politically by conflict.
Answer: (A)
“The way in which the nuclear weapons that we are now developing are first used will be of fateful importance. Our primary objective once the war is over should be to reach an international agreement on the total prevention of nuclear warfare. From this perspective, using nuclear weapons against Japan may easily destroy all our chances of success.
A demonstration of the new weapon might best be made, before the eyes of representatives of all nations, in a desert or on a barren island. Then America could argue, ‘We are ready to renounce the use of these weapons in the future if other nations join us in this renunciation and agree to the establishment of an efficient system of international control.’
If an international agreement is not concluded immediately after the first use of nuclear weapons, this will mean a flying start toward an unlimited armaments race. However, once an international peace agreement is achieved, then the technology and materials accumulated in the process of developing the weapon can be used for important peacetime developments, including power generation and mass production of radioactive materials. In this way, the money spent on wartime development of nuclear technology may benefit the peacetime development of the national economy.”
James Franck, German-born scientist developing nuclear weapons technology for the United States, report to the United States government, 1945
P295-Q30. Which of the following developments during the Second World War would Franck most likely have cited as evidence to support his arguments in the passage?
(A) Nazi scientists were working frantically to develop nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction that could save the Nazi regime from defeat. (B) Allied firebombing in Germany and Japan had caused massive devastation and civilian casualties, and atomic weapons were vastly more powerful than those used in firebombing. (C) German scientists such as Franck were critical to helping the United States develop nuclear weapons, and some of those scientists wanted the weapons used on Germany rather than Japan. (D) Some United States allies were largely unaware of the United States attempt to develop nuclear weapons.
Answer: (B)
P295-Q31. Which of the following arguments would a supporter of using nuclear weapons against Japan have most likely cited to explain the limitations of Franck’s arguments in the first and second paragraphs?
(A) The United States use of nuclear weapons against Japan might provoke the Soviet Union into becoming Japan’s ally. (B) Japanese government propaganda instilled fierce, suicidal nationalism in the Japanese population, making Japan unlikely to surrender unconditionally without experiencing the effects of nuclear weapons. (C) The United States use of nuclear weapons against Japan would likely force the United States into a prolonged occupation of Japan in order to ensure the economic redevelopment of the country. (D) Japanese military actions in the Pacific, though often brutal, did not justify the use of nuclear weapons against Japanese cities with large civilian populations.
Answer: (B)
P295-Q32. Contemporaries who agreed with Franck’s argument in the second and third paragraphs regarding the need for an international agreement would most likely have made which of the following arguments to support their position?
(A) New international organizations could have only a limited effect in restraining the actions of the great powers. (B) The peace agreements should ensure that Germany could never threaten the stability of Europe again. (C) The end of the war would probably lead to a new rivalry between the victorious states. (D) Mass atrocities committed during the war required that states possess sufficient armaments to defend themselves in future conflicts.
Answer: (C)
