Question
How does evidence shape Manchuria?
Answer
Narrative sequence: answer How does evidence shape Manchuria by focusing on Part two: The League of Nations and international peace. Use the chronology of BB Conflict and tension: the inter-war years, 1918-1939, select named evidence connected to Study the collapse of the League, including the Depression, Manchurian and Abyssinian crises and the failure to avert war in 1939, 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 two: The League of Nations and international peace. The evidence should connect to Study the collapse of the League, including the Depression, Manchurian and Abyssinian crises and the failure to avert war in 1939 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 Manchuria
A common mistake is to write about Manchuria 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 Manchuria is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
