“Territorial changes were the most significant challenge to successful peacemaking.” Discuss with reference to the effects of two 20th century wars.

The question requires that candidates offer a considered and balanced review of the statement that territorial changes were the most significant challenge to peacemaking. The two wars may or may not be from the same region and they may or may not have been contemporaneous with each other. The effects of the wars may extend beyond the timeframe, but they must be clearly linked to the issue raised in the question. Candidates may offer equal coverage of both wars, or they may prioritize their discussion of one over the other. A comparative approach may or may not be used. While other relevant factors, for example, political change, economic factors, population displacement may be referred to, the bulk of the response will remain on the issue raised in the question.
