Korean Political History II: Chapter 2, Exercise 3 — Possible Solution ====================================================================== UNSUPPORTED CLAIM That the financial crisis decided the 1997 election. The source gives the two dates (IMF request on 21 November, election on 18 December) but does not link them. EVIDENCE THAT WOULD TEST IT - Polling from before and after 21 November showing a shift in support. - Exit polls or surveys on which issues voters named. - Regional or demographic breakdowns of the vote. NOTE Even a shift in polls would show timing, not cause, so the claim should be stated cautiously.
