Winston Churchill in 1911.
The purposes of the British navy are essentially defensive. We have no thoughts, and we have

and that of the great and friendly empire. The British navy is to us a necessity and, from some
points of view, the German navy is to them more in the nature of a luxury. Our naval power
involves British existence. It is existence to us but it is an expansion to them.

Part C: Long Questions (30 marks)
1. Should Germany bear all the responsibility for the First World War? (15 marks)
(Students have to present at least four arguments.)
After the First World War, Germany was forced to bear the sole responsibility for the War.
The Germans were very discontented. In fact, there were many factors leading to the
outbreak of the First World War, such as colonial conflicts, extreme nationalism, the
armaments race and the alliance system. Apart from Germany, many European powers, to
a large extent, had to bear the responsibility for the outbreak of the War. Therefore,
Germany should not bear all the responsibility for the First World War.
Firstly, not only Germany, but also many European powers took part in the competition for
colonies. Germany had colonial conflicts. For example, France and Italy had conflicts
over Tunisia, while Britain and Russia had conflicts over central Asia. Therefore, as
competition for colonies was one of the causes of the First World War, the European powers
that took part in the competition, such as Britain, France and Russia, should also bear some
responsibility for causing the War.
Secondly, extreme nationalism arose not only in German, but also in other parts of Europe.
Germany put forward the idea of Pan-Germanism, which demanded that the German people
should expand in Europe. In fact, Austria-Hungary also put forward a similar idea.
Besides, the French people developed strong revenge feelings against the Germans after the
Franco-Prussian War. Furthermore, Russia put forward the idea of Pan-Slavism, which
demanded that all Slavic people in Europe should be united under Russian control.
be seen that Germany should not bear all the responsibility for the rise of extreme
nationalism.
In addition, nearly all European powers, not just Germany, took part in the armaments race.
Germany advocated foreign expansion, enlarged its navy, and competed with Britain in
building dreadnoughts. However, other European powers increased their military
expenditure, enlarged their army and navy, and invented new weapons as well. For
example, in 1912, the number of Russian soldiers increased to 500,000. In 1913, France
extended the conscription service from 2 to 3 years. It can be seen that besides Germany,
other European powers helped intensify the armaments race in Europe.
Finally, although Germany started the alliance system, France, Britain and Russia also took
part in it.
After the Franco-Prussian War, as Germany was afraid that France would take
revenge on it, it started the alliance system to isolate France. In 1882, Germany formed the
Triple Alliance with Austria-Hungary and Italy. In response, France, Russia and Britain
formed the Triple Entente. Therefore, Germany should not bear all the responsibility for
the formation of the alliance system.
In conclusion, Germany should not bear all the responsibility for the outbreak of the First
2. Describe the features of Fascism in Italy. (15 marks)
(Any 5 features)
One-party and one-man dictatorship: All political parties were banned except the Fascist
Party. The government was controlled by Mussolini and his Fascist Party.
Absolute obedience: Mussolini demanded that all people should work for the interests of the
country and obey the state absolutely.
Total control and oppression: The state controlled people's daily life, work and education.
It also set up secret police to watch over the people.
Cult of personality: The Fascist Party promoted the cult of Mussolini. As the basic
government slogan went, "Mussolini is always right."
Anti-communism: Communists believed in the idea of class struggles. This idea would
weaken unity among the people and even national strength. Therefore, the Fascists
suppressed socialist and communist activities in Italy.
Economic self-sufficiency: Mussolini hoped to reduce Italy's economic reliance on foreign
countries in order to protect the country's interests.
Military and territorial expansion: Mussolini greatly increased the military power of Italy.
Before the outbreak of the Second World War, Italy actively expanded its territories in
Africa in order to revive the glory of the Roman Empire.
