you can use both of the given topics but you need to use at least one of your own, choose three sub events in the main events narrative. it can be three of your own or one of your own, it just needs to be three and one of your own at least (you can do more evnts if u want)
in a narrative description is important so your gonna need statistics and key information about each event also :
the events DONT have to be in order
you must interpret the causation and consequence of the events as paper 2 tests your causation and consequence skills
so
EVENT 1
•description
• Stats/key info
•analysis
... link nicely with the next event
repeat this until your third event and finish nicely
when i use the word "nicely" it means to not be blunt with your writing. foreshadow future events, i got a grade 9 in history and a common phrase i used was : this could cause or create turbulence/ problems/ impediments for the future as we know, if you are using this in between events specify the "problem" and then go into your statistics and key info, and in the following sentence do some analysis (say why YOU thinks happened the way they did, a tip i used was looking at the emotional responses from leaders for example)
and at the end conclude with this foreshadows the start of deteriorating realationship between powers (for example- just say generally what the narrative/last event tells us for the future)
remember to use time connectives as they are really important and check your grammar.
