Depth Study F: South Africa c.1940-c.1994
This CIE IGCSE History Depth Study examines the establishment, development, and eventual dismantling of the apartheid system in South Africa. It begins by exploring the foundations of apartheid, analysing the extent of segregation by 1940, the impact of government policies on the non-white population, economic developments up to 1945, and the National Party's 1948 election victory.
The course then investigates the successful implementation of apartheid between 1948 and 1966, focusing on the system's main features, its consequences for South Africans, the evolution of opposition movements, and the government's responses by 1966. The period from 1966 to 1980 is studied to assess changes in South Africa, including National Party policies, shifts in black opposition, economic factors affecting lives, and external opposition to apartheid. Finally, the module examines the end of white minority rule, considering P.W. Botha's policies, the roles of key leaders in apartheid's collapse, the surge in violence from 1980 to the early 1990s, and the transition of power culminating in the 1994 general election.
