Look carefully at Figures 3.5 and 3.6, two cartoons relating to the Nazi-Soviet Pact. (attached below) • Figure 3.5: Cartoon from a British newspaper, 1939. Caption reads 'Someone is taking someone for a walk' • Figure 3.6: Cartoon from a US newspaper, 1939. Title reads 'Little Goldilocks Riding Hood'. The wolf is labelled 'Nazi Germany' the bear is labelled 'Soviet Russia' and Goldilocks is labelled 'Poland' Answer the following questions in full paragraph format: 1. What does Figure 3.5 suggest about the Nazi-Soviet Pact? 2. What does Figure 3.6 suggest about the Nazi-Soviet Pact? 3. What methods do the cartoonists use to put across their message? 4. Which cartoon do you feel is more effective and why? 5. Compare and contrast the usefulness of the two cartoons for historians studying the Nazi-Soviet Pact. Ensure that your answer considers when the cartoons were published; the motives of the cartoonists; the audiences the cartoons were addressing; what the cartoons suggest about the Nazi-Soviet Pact; the methods used by the cartoonists to put across their ideas; how the cartoons compare with our own knowledge of the Nazi- Soviet Pact. (this answer should be a minimum of 3 to 4 full paragraphs)

Introduction:

The Nazi-Soviet Pact was a political agreement between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union signed in 1939. The pact was seen as surprising and controversial at the time, and has since been widely studied by historians. In this context, Figures 3.5 and 3.6 are two cartoons that were created in response to the pact, and they provide valuable insights into public perception and understanding of the pact.
