Part ofHistoryThe Cold War and Vietnam

Explain two consequences of... (8 marks)

This type of question assesses your knowledge of events and the concept of ‘consequences’.

Example:

Explain two consequences of the Berlin Blockade (1948-49).

Tips:

You will need to write a paragraph explaining what happened as a consequence of the event (with facts and figures). You should use phrases like ‘led to’ and ‘meant that’ to help focus on the consequences.

Don’t ‘over-write’ your answer to this question. Focus on what happened AFTER the event – don’t get caught up in why it happened in the first place.
