This type of question requires you to consider causation and consequence (cause and effect). You will have to reach an decision which is supported by evidence and use accurate and detailed factual knowledge. You should explain how a series of events resulted in a situation of international conflict.
Example:
Write an account of how events in Korea became an international crisis during 1950.
Tips:
You have to be very careful not to simply tell the story of the events in the order they happened. Be sure to explain the causes and consequences in your answer. You could start by explaining a few of the key events and the wider context. Remember to link the events to the developing crisis. You also need to analyse the sequence of events and explain which moments within the sequence had more or less of an impact on the growing crisis.
