This question goes into a deeper historical concept. It may ask how much changed or stayed the same, or why something happened, or what the impact was, or how significant it was. It might ask you to compare two migration stories, or two periods, for similarity or difference.

Examples:

• What was the impact of migration on medieval England?
• Why were ‘enemy aliens’ interned during the two world wars?
• How differently were refugees treated between 1550 and 1750?

Tips:

• There will be more than one answer and more than one example you will need to use.
• List the points you want to make and the examples to support them, and then decide on your main point. For example, for the first of the above questions you could include new skills such as brewing beer and weaving woollen cloth, conflicts between craft guilds and kings, violent incidents such as the massacres during the Peasants’ Revolt, and the rise of anti-Semitism. However, you may feel that the most significant impact was the transformation of the English economy. You therefore need to plan your answer so that you include all your points but build up to your main idea.
