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: The ending of conflict in Vietnam. The evidence should connect to Study Nixon's War, including Vietnamisation, chemical warfare, bombing from 1970 to 1972, relations with China and widening the war into Laos and 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 Vietnamisation
A common mistake is to write about Vietnamisation as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in 1950-1975.
Anchor the answer to Part three: The ending of conflict in Vietnam, use precise evidence, and state whether Vietnamisation is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
