Your homework for today was to revise the “Soviet Control over Eastern Europe” topic…
1.
Giving evidence (when answering source questions) is crucially important… Below is an exercise to help you to know how to incorporate evidence in your answers.
Look at the following question and then put the possible answers in order of worst to best:
POSSIBLE ANSWERS
SOLUTION
A
This is a poor answer as it provides no evidence to back-up the statement.
E
This answer gives evidence, but the quote could be much shorter.
B
This answer gives evidence, but the quote does not “make sense” in the sentence, as it has just been added to the end of the statement.
C
This answer is good. It gives evidence, added to the end of the statement, but the way it is added is acceptable because the evidence is given in brackets.
E
This answer is the best. It gives evidence, in the form of a short quote, that forms part of the sentence. Therefore, it makes perfect sense.

In the early hours of 13 August 1961 Soviet “shock-workers” closed the border between East Berlin and the Western sectors of Berlin by putting barbed wire across the streets. Three days later they began to replace the barbed wire with a wall of concrete blocks… This was the beginning of a heavily fortified barrier that would separate East Berlin from West Berlin for the next 28 years!

Something else that may be relevant…
Cardinal József Mindszenty, the highest Catholic official in Hungary, was convicted of treason and sentenced to life imprisonment by the Communist People’s Court (Feb.1949). He was accused of anti-government activities. Outraged observers in Western Europe and the United States condemned both the trial and Mindszenty’s conviction as “perversions” and “lynchings.”
The case was significant in demonstrating the depth of the anticommunist movement in Hungary. In 1956, Mindszenty was released when a reformist government took power in Hungary. Shortly thereafter, Soviet troops entered Hungary to put down anticommunist protests. Mindszenty took refuge in the U.S. embassy in Budapest and stayed inside the embassy grounds until 1971. That year he was recalled by the Vatican and settled in Vienna, where he died in 1975.
