Question
How does evidence shape Lend Lease?
Answer
Narrative sequence: answer How does evidence shape Lend Lease by focusing on Part two: Bust: Americans' experiences of the Depression and New Deal. Use the chronology of AD America, 1920-1973: Opportunity and inequality, select named evidence connected to Study the impact of the Second World War, including America's economic recovery, Lend Lease, exports and social developments affecting African-Americans and women, and order events accurately, show movement from one development to the next, and avoid jumping chronology. End by answering the command word directly.
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: Bust: Americans' experiences of the Depression and New Deal. The evidence should connect to Study the impact of the Second World War, including America's economic recovery, Lend Lease, exports and social developments affecting African-Americans and women 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 Lend Lease
A common mistake is to write about Lend Lease as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in 1920-1973.
Anchor the answer to Part two: Bust: Americans' experiences of the Depression and New Deal, use precise evidence, and state whether Lend Lease is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
