Present a thesis that makes a historically defensible claim in the introduction. Explain how a relevant historical context influenced the topic and it should relate the topic to broader historical events, developments that occur before, during or after the time frame of the question and should consist of more than a reference. Use historical reasoning to explain relationships among the pieces of evidence provided in the response and how they corroborate, qualify or modify the argument made in the thesis that addresses the entirety of the topic question.
