Examine the significance of two leaders to the course/practice of warfare.

Candidates will consider the significance of two leaders in terms of their impact on the course and/or practice of warfare during the period indicated by the timeframe of this topic. The two individuals chosen need not be contemporaneous and they may or may not be chosen from the same state or region. Although the focus of candidates’ responses will be to uncover the interrelationship between the leaders’ actions and the course/practice of warfare in which they were engaged, other factors may be introduced to contextualise and/or gauge the significance of the chosen leaders. Each leader may be considered separately or a thematic approach may be used if candidates wish to compare the relative significance of the two leaders to the course/practice of warfare.
