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: Transformation of the Cold War. The evidence should connect to Study the Berlin Wall, including reasons for its construction and Kennedy's response 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.

Anchor the answer to Part three: Transformation of the Cold War, use precise evidence, and state whether Berlin Wall is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
