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 Iraq War. The evidence should connect to Study the impact of war on Iraqi people and across the world, including insurgency, elections, transfer of powers to the National Assembly, 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.
