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 two: The League of Nations and international peace. The evidence should connect to Study diplomacy outside the League, including the Locarno treaties and the Kellogg-Briand Pact 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 Locarno
A common mistake is to write about Locarno as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in 1918-1939.
Anchor the answer to Part two: The League of Nations and international peace, use precise evidence, and state whether Locarno is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
