Evaluate the strategies that determined the outcome of two early modern wars.

Markscheme

The question requires that candidates make an appraisal of the strategies that determined the outcome of two early modern wars, weighing up the strengths and limitations of those strategies. The two wars may or may not be from the same region and they may or may not have occurred at the same time. A comparative approach may or may not be used. Candidates may refer to the use of infantry, cavalry, artillery, gunpowder technology, sieges and the utilization of superior geographic/maritime knowledge. Additionally, or alternatively, they may focus on fortifications, economic embargos or tariffs, alliances, logistics and supply.
