This exam-style task requires a developed historical argument rather than a list of facts. Begin with the relevant period from Paper 2 Section A: Thematic studies, then anchor the answer in Thematic study assessment requirements. The evidence should connect to Explain significance by considering the importance of an event, person, group or development at the time and over time 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.
