The correct option works because it matches the period context of Paper 1 Section B: Wider world depth studies and uses the same evidence base as Study Anglo-German rivalry, including Britain's challenge to Splendid Isolation, Kaiser Wilhelm's foreign policy aims, Weltpolitik, colonial tensions, European rearmament and the Anglo-German. The rejected options are weaker: 1) A broad opinion without context.; 2) A consequence described as a cause.; 3) An interpretation treated as factual evidence..

Avoid confusing Weltpolitik

A common mistake is to write about Weltpolitik as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in 1894-1918.

Anchor the answer to Part one: The causes of the First World War, use precise evidence, and state whether Weltpolitik is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
