Question

How does evidence shape blockade?

Answer

Narrative sequence: answer How does evidence shape blockade by focusing on Part three: Ending the war. Use the chronology of BA Conflict and tension: the First World War, 1894-1918, select named evidence connected to Study Germany's surrender, including the blockade, Kaiser's abdication, armistice and the contributions of Haig and Foch to Germany's defeat, 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 B: Wider world depth studies, then anchor the answer in Part three: Ending the war. The evidence should connect to Study Germany's surrender, including the blockade, Kaiser's abdication, armistice and the contributions of Haig and Foch to Germany's defeat 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 blockade

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

Anchor the answer to Part three: Ending the war, use precise evidence, and state whether blockade is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
