Question
How does evidence shape impact?
Answer
Narrative sequence: answer How does evidence shape impact by focusing on Part one: Peacemaking. Use the chronology of BB Conflict and tension: the inter-war years, 1918-1939, select named evidence connected to Study the impact of the treaty and wider settlement, including Allied reactions, German objections and strengths and weaknesses of the settlement including, 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 one: Peacemaking. The evidence should connect to Study the impact of the treaty and wider settlement, including Allied reactions, German objections and strengths and weaknesses of the settlement including 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 impact
A common mistake is to write about impact 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 impact is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
