Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 10.6 Causation and Consequence skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which explanation best distinguishes immediate causes, long-term causes, short-term effects, and long-term consequences of twentieth-century decolonization?

ADecolonization happened everywhere in one day for one reason and produced identical outcomes.

BNew states formed before nationalist movements or imperial rule existed.

CPostwar crises had no relationship to the timing of independence movements.

DLong-term nationalism and weakened empires created pressure; postwar crises triggered change; new states formed quickly; sovereignty debates and development challenges continued.

Solution & Explanation:The best explanation identifies multiple time scales: underlying pressure, immediate postwar context, short-term state formation, and longer-term political and economic consequences.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which question would best help a historian separate correlation from causation in world history?

AWhich event happened first, even if no connection can be shown?

BWhich source has the most dramatic story, regardless of evidence?

CWhat evidence shows that one development helped produce another, rather than simply happening around the same time?

DHow can we avoid comparing events because they occurred in different places?

Solution & Explanation:Causation requires evidence of a relationship, not just sequence. The best question asks whether one development helped produce another.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Which explanation best uses the Treaty of Versailles without making it the only cause of World War II?

AVersailles alone caused every event between 1919 and 1939.

BVersailles contributed to resentment and instability, but the Depression, fascist politics, militarism, and appeasement also shaped the path to war.

CVersailles was unrelated to later European politics in any way.

DVersailles caused the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand before it was signed.

Solution & Explanation:The best explanation treats Versailles as one important factor among several. It neither ignores the treaty nor makes it the sole cause.
