Learn the idea
Chronology
Knowing that one event preceded another helps order a story but does not alone prove cause.
Multiple causes
Historical outcomes often involve interacting long-term and immediate factors.
Continuity
Some practices persist while others change; the time scale matters.
Argument
A careful explanation links evidence to a claim and considers alternatives.
Explain without looking
- Which wording is more appropriately bounded?
- How can a timeline and a causal explanation complement one another?
