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 one: Peacemaking. The evidence should connect to Study the armistice, including peacemakers' aims, Wilson and the Fourteen Points, Clemenceau, Lloyd George and the extent to which aims were achieved 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 armistice
A common mistake is to write about armistice as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in 1918-1939.
Anchor the answer to Part one: Peacemaking, use precise evidence, and state whether armistice is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
