Compare and contrast the methods used to achieve independence in two states, each from a different region.

Candidates will give an account of the similarities and differences between the methods used to achieve independence in two countries referring to both countries throughout the response. While the focus of the response must be within the timeframe of this topic, the achievement of independence does not need to be contemporaneous. However, the two countries must be from different regions. Methods considered may include the use of force, political campaigning, or appeals to international audiences. Where methods used were similar, candidates may also address the extent to which those methods were more or less effective in the fight for independence in one country than they were in the other.
