I am looking at conflict in indochina. specifically on the tet offensive which was an event that significantly impacted the anti-war movement in USA. I looked at most of the past papers (aren't many might i add too) it really looked at communist victory, their strategies in achieving victory in the Second Indochina War and the impact of the tet offensive on the overall anti-war movement.
So are you saying you had a paragraph on communist victory, strategies in the Second Indochina War and the anti-war movement? That sounds like a factors essay, so you can have as many as you like, as long as all the important factors are covered
Hey Susie
Just wondering with the question I asked earlier regarding Japanese Foreign Policy and to what extent it was responsible for the outbreak of war, would I include a separate paragraph on the external influence of the war in Europe and how that in itself spurred Japan to take advantage of the areas in the Pacific colonised by countries fighting in Europe or does that still come under Japanese policy?
And also I am just wondering since I will be providing examples of both Japanese and American foreign policy, do I argue that for example Japanese foreign policy was so aggressive that it forced America into its foreign policy decisions which increased tensions and led to war?
Thanks
Can't really comment too much on the first question, as I don't really feel confident enough in my knowledge of the Pacific to be able to give an answer. If Japan was actively engaging with other countries, then yes, that should count as foreign policy - however I'm not 100% sure.
For the second question, I definitely believe you could argue that, and still be answering the question effectively
Sorry I couldn't be of more help,
Susie
