Question
Evaluate social developments in one European country (other than Germany, Italy or Spain) in the inter-war years.
Markscheme
The question requires that candidates make an appraisal of social developments of one European country in the inter-war years, although they must not choose Germany, Italy or Spain, as these countries are specifically excluded in the History Guide. Candidates may argue that the inter-war period brought about significant social divisions in the country of their choosing and explore how the lives of citizens were affected by changes in, for example, education and religion. They may also gauge the extent and impact of changes in the health sector or the arts. An additional or alternative route may be to appraise developments in terms of their impact on the role of women and/or minority groups. Developments may be considered positive, negative or a mixture of both.
