RQ: The ideologies of leaders play a vital role in shaping the present and future of any nation. SOI- Individuals can play a key role in the development of their nation-states, and in the nature and development of GLOBAL INTERACTIONS. This RQ, addressing how "The ideologies of leaders play a vital role in shaping the present and future of any nation" is essentially justified as relevant to the SOI mainly due to the fact that it focuses on the role of individuals in the development of their nations and global interactions. Due to this, the RQ aims to provide an in-depth look into how different leaders and their ideas influenced the fate of their nation. For example, it is evident how Benito Mussolini's fascist idealism played a role in his expansionist policies, leading to the Abyssinian crisis which eventually led to the very failure of the League of Nations(impacting global interactions). In addition to this, the RQ works to provide a scope for MYP students to further understand not only the significance of individual leadership to the nation, but also the impacts that their ideology entails in respect to the economic, political, and social aspects.

Aprajita Ralli: i like the clarity with which you have presented your research work ... the structure is very relevant for history .

The ideologies of leaders play a vital role in shaping the present and future of any nation. Statement of inquiry: Individuals can play a key role in the development of their nation states, and in the nature and development of GLOBAL INTERACTIONS Justification: This research question is very much relevant. It doesn't require a very elaborate answer or a very specific answer. Can be answered with a few case studies. It also is very much related to the statement of inquiry given. For example, if we look at the key terms it is very much similar, leaders; individuals, shaping the present; development, key role: vital role, etc. It will also benefit me as a student of history studying about leaders as it will allow me to research more about the topic, it will also help me learn new things about the topic. PS: miss I am resubmitting because it wasn't added as a response on seesaw

Aprajita Ralli: i appreciate the manner in which you have incorporated the example to explain your point

The Research Question is justified. The question asks if leaders play a vital role in shaping the future. This is important as it is in line with the broader aspects of our research: why do nations build supranational organizations and can individuals make a difference? This will be a appropriate research question as we need to research if an individual has affected the world in a way, such that new ideas emerge, and nations become superpowers. This RQ is also important because it also goes into depth of how the views of a leader become the views of a nation.

Historical significance can be determined by historians through the evaluation of several factors. Including, importance, profundity, quantity, durability and relevance. In order to understand this concept in greater depth, I will be using the creation of the United Nations as an example. The catastrophe of the First World War led to the setting up of an international organization to foster peace and cooperation and prevent another general war - the league of nations. However, the league of nations failed to keep peace and the second world war that followed was the most horrific in human history. The victorious powers agreed that a new and improved organisation should be set up to enable international community to settle disputes before another conflict developed. The new organisation would learn lessons from the weakness of its predecessor, the league. Prime minister Winston Churchill and President Roosevelt shared a vision for the post-war world and in 1941, the two leaders drafted the Atlantic Charter, which eventually became the basis for the UN Charter. The United Nations is an international peacekeeping organization aimed at promoting harmony between nation-states and preventing war. Coming back to historical significance, the creation of the united nations is considered to be an important event in history due to its long lasting effects on the world. Since its inception, the United Nations has performed numerous humanitarian, environmental and peace-keeping undertakings, including: Providing food to 90 million people in over 75 countries. Assisting more than 34 million refugees and authorizing 71 international peacekeeping missions. The United nations meets each of the criterions for historical significance that I mentioned above. It's important because it promoted ideals of peace, and collective security impacting millions worldwide Its profound due to the meaningful role that it plays in today's world, proven further by its accomplishments including that of winning 11 Nobel peace prizes. It is quantitative because the creation of the UN has directly or indirectly effected and continues to effect each and every one of our lives today by maintaining world peace. The event is durable because it continues to enforce ideals of change today. It is relevant as it contributes to our understanding of the past. It helps us gain an insight into how devastating war conditions must be, leading to the need of such an organisation. Several historians believe that the UN is symbolic of the importance to maintain peace, to prevent future conflicts. White others have criticised the UN for promoting globalization, not being effective enough, backing provocative policies, providing controversial health options, being too bureaucratic, giving certain countries more power than others and spending too much money. While every organization has its flaws and shortcomings, the majority of international leaders and historians agree that the U.N. continues to play a critical role in securing peace, stability and prosperity throughout the world. As frustrating as the UN can be at times, the world is a better place with it than without it. The significance of a historical event can be determined by its IMPACT. Historians determine how significant an event is based on its impact on individuals and societies. While not all events that create an impact are historically significant, as the depth of the impact varies based on the factors described above. While evaluating the impact is the most convenient way to determine an events significance, in certain situations, individuals are aware that they are living through an event of historical significance before even knowing what the future holds. A recent example of this, is the COVID 19 pandemic that we are currently living through. As of now, we are aware of the devastating impact that it is creating and will continue to create. Hence, it's not always like an event can be called historically significant only in hindsight, but people living through one, are often able to tell how significant that event will be to future generations. It might be fair to say that for historians to say that an event is historically significant it must bring about a long-lasting political, social, economic, and/or environmental change that has affected a large population, and the future of the world.

The ideologies of leaders play a vital role in shaping the present and future of any nation. Statement of inquiry: Individuals can play a key role in the development of their nation states, and in the nature and development of GLOBAL INTERACTIONS Justification: This research question is very much relevant. It doesn't require a very elaborate answer or a very specific answer. Can be answered with a few case studies. It also is very much related to the statement of inquiry given. For example, if we look at the key terms it is very much similar, leaders; individuals, shaping the present; development, key role: vital role, etc. It will also benefit me as a student of history studying about leaders as it will allow me to research more about the topic, it will also help me learn new things about the topic.

RQ: The ideologies of leaders play a vital role in shaping the present and future of any nation. SOI: Individuals can play a key role in the development of their nation, states, and in the nature and development of GLOBAL INTERACTIONS I believe that the RQ at hand is a great question to research upon firstly because, while it does not present us with a set time, space and place, it automatically provides us with the context of the time, space, and place that it is based in based off of our selected leader as a case study, as leaders inevitably do not last forever and thereby the RQ has a focused TSP. The RQ also does not present itself as a googleable answer due to complexities in finding how and due to what actions of the leader did the country get impacted, however, it is not a stupefying question either as it provides enough context with a specified goal - impact on the present and future of a nation, and prior to that, whether or not the leader's ideologies even do we have any impact whatsoever. The RQ also remains focussed as it is telling us to interrogate the impact of one leader on one nation, rather than the world or various leaders yet open-ended as it does not tell us to identify only the positives or only the negatives, instead it is telling us to find out what the ideologies of the selected leader shape the present and future, regardless of the positivity or the negativity, and that too if the researcher believes and finds evidence of whether or not the leader's ideology does have an impact. The question is relevant to the SOI as it is, in essence, attempting to validate the SOI itself, considering that if a leader's ideology does have an impact on shaping the present and future of a country, it inescapably affects the development of their nation or region that they are leading, and ergo validates the SOI and itself, which clearly relates it to the SOI one way or the other. The question also remains relevant to the history student and history itself as if a leader can impact the future of a nation, it also both impacts the citizens within the nation as well as international relations, trades, and frameworks, which all impact the daily life of the history student and also the socio-political, economic and even cultural issues are changed by this and leave both a historical and personal impact, (For example Hitler's antisemitism, historically conducting an extremely inhumane mass genocide while simultaneously being a major part - involuntarily - in establishing HRC). A combination of all of these makes this a researchable question and relevant to the SOI

RQ; The ideologies of leaders play a vital role in shaping the present and future of any nation. SOI; Individuals can play a key role in the development of their nation-states, and in the nature and development of global interactions The RQ; 'The ideologies of leaders play a vital role in shaping the present and future of any nation' is justified to be relevant to the SOI to a great extent. The reasoning behind this statement is because the RQ chooses to spotlight how leaders and their ideologies take the forefront in shaping the present and future of any nation. The RQ is clear and prompts research in an area with which research can be applied to the SOI as well. The research drawn by the RQ would help get a better understanding of the SOI because even the SOI probes into the impact of individuals in development of their nation/states, and in the nature and development of global interactions. The RQ prompts the research of an in-depth analysis of a case study and through the case study, providing a strong prowess of the RQ and SOI. The RQ is useful for a student of history as it's open ended enough for them to gain the full perspective and comprehension while not limiting their understanding and simultaneously not being as wide as to lose focus of the topic. The case study being used in this scenario would be leaders of the inter-war period and how their rule shaped their involvement in the Second World War thus linking it to the SOI. Through the case study being brought out by the RQ, we figure out the significance of leaders and also the consequences/effects of ideologies through all aspects of life such as political, economy, social, and global interactions. For these reasons, the RQ seems to be relevant to the SOI to a great extent.
