Controlled Assessment Tasks May 2012 1. Select five sources. Explain how useful these sources have been in informing you in your enquiry into the changing and different attitudes towards war in World War 1. (N.B. It is not necessary for both changing attitudes and different attitudes to be considered. Centres may, if they wish, focus on changing attitudes from the enthusiasm for war in 1914 to more critical attitudes as war became prolonged and casualties increased. Alternatively, centres may wish to focus on the different attitudes to war, comparing the general support for war with those groups who opposed it.) (15 marks) 2. ‘The role of women in the two World Wars was very similar. They performed the same duties and took on the same responsibilities.’ How far do the sources you have used support this interpretation of the role of women in the two World Wars? To answer this question, examine the sources you have researched on this topic. You should examine at least 8 sources in explaining your answer. You should also use your own knowledge to comment on the evidence in the sources. (25 marks)
