Consequences of an event are the outcomes–what happened as a result of the event. The most significant would be the most important or “biggest” results.

A paper about the “most significant consequences” of an event should lead you to select two (or maybe three depending on the length of your paper) things that happened as a result of the event.

Once you pick several important (significant) things that happend, write a paragraph about each–describing the result and telling why it was important or significant.

Finish by summarizing all of the consequences you described.

Does that help?
