Evaluate the effectiveness of the response to the Great Depression in one country in Latin America.

The question requires that candidates make an appraisal of the response to the Great Depression in one country in Latin America, weighing up the strengths and limitations of that response. Candidates may refer to any Latin American country that suffered from the Great Depression. Probable choices include Brazil, Argentina and Mexico. For Brazil, candidates could discuss the responses of Vargas with import substitution industrialization (ISI) and Estado Novo. For Argentina, the Concordancia and ISI could be discussed. For Mexico, the responses by the Maximato and, later, Cárdenas could be discussed. Both strengths and limitations must be clearly indicated, but there does not need to be an equal focus on each.
