The ‘Either/or’ question gives two possible answers
to a question, and asks you to choose the more
important.
‘Which of the following did more to cause the
Second World War:
a. Hitler’s occupation of Czechoslovakia
(March 1939)
b. the Nazi–Soviet Pact (August 1939)?’

Note here that the underlying question is about ‘the causes of
the Second World War’.
You need to make sure that you keep this in mind the whole
time you are explaining your answer.

points to earn the 10 marks for this question, i.e.
