Explanation

This exam-style task requires a developed historical argument rather than a list of facts. Begin with the relevant period from Paper 1 Section A: Period studies, then anchor the answer in Part two: Lenin's new society. The evidence should connect to Study the Provisional Government, including failures over social, economic and military problems, Lenin, Trotsky, Bolshevik organisation and the October/November Revolution and be explained through cause, consequence, change, continuity, significance or interpretation as appropriate. A strong final judgement shows why the selected evidence is more convincing than a vague or unsupported claim.

Common mistake

Avoid confusing Provisional Government

A common mistake is to write about Provisional Government as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in 1894-1945.

Anchor the answer to Part two: Lenin's new society, use precise evidence, and state whether Provisional Government is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
