Evaluate the importance of guerrilla warfare to the outcome of two 20th-century wars.

Candidates will appraise the importance of guerrilla warfare to the outcome of two 20th century wars, which may or may not come from the same region. While the focus of the response must be within the timeframe of this topic, the examples chosen need not be contemporaneous with each other. Candidates will ensure that evaluation of guerrilla warfare is linked to outcomes of the chosen wars. It would be valid to weigh the contribution of guerrilla warfare against other factors that determined the wars’ outcome. It could also be valid to choose wars where guerrilla warfare had limited impact on the outcome; however, candidates must, in this case, address the reasons why guerrilla warfare was less significant. The wars may be considered separately or a thematic approach may be adopted.
