I'm new to this website so I haven't got a clue even if i'm doing this right, anyway i'm studying A Level History on the exam board WJEC and I don't understand this question:
"To what extent was war on the Home Front the most important development in Wales and England 1880-1929?"
I know how to answer "to what extent exam questions" but what topics would I need to include in this question?
p.s. it's 36 marks.

Mr Bryant is the expert on this kind of thing, but I'll plough in with the basics first.
In a 'to what extent' question you are weighing the significance of the stated factor (war on the home front) against an other/other factors (in this case, ALL the other developments).
If I were doing it, I would start off with a section outlining the importance of the war on the home front as a factor in the development of E&W 1880-1929.
Then I would say:
"Of course other factors played a part in the development of E&W 1880-1929."
But then i would go through them (suffragettes, Liberal reforms, general strike etc.), briefly outlining their significance, but then 'proving' that the developments in WWI were muich more important/presaged/topped that factor.
Then the conclusion writes itself.
