Germany 1918-1945 introduction | A Level

Democracy and Nazi Germany A Level Bundle, Part 1

**AQA GCE A Level Democracy and Nazism: Germany 1918-45** **The Weimar Republic 1918-1928** I have produced this bundle of resources on Weimar Germany 1918-1928 to help A Level students access the course and help them to gain a deeper understanding of Germany’s past through political, social, economic and cultural perspectives. The enquiry question throughout these lessons will be to question how weak or strong Germany was politically, economically or socially. Students will learn how the impact of war had a profound effect on the establishment of the Weimar Republic and the significance and consequences of the Peace Settlement. They will also learn about political instability, with extremism from the left and right, the problems of coalition government and the state of the Republic by 1923 with the invasion of the Ruhr and hyperinflation. Finally students will assess the issues facing Germany from 1924 and the role of individuals such as Stresemann and his impact on the Golden Age of Germany in his domestic and foreign policy. The resources provided include detailed lesson plans, case studies, source documents for analysis, chronological tasks and exam practice questions with comprehensive mark schemes.   The lessons are as follows: L1 Introduction and pre-war Germany L2 Political crisis of 1918 L3 The German Revolution L4 The Weimar Constitution L5 Treaty of Versailles L6 Hyperinflation L7 Invasion of the Ruhr (free resource) L8 Political instability and extremism L9 100 Days of Stresemann L10 Economic miracles L11 Weimar Women L12 Weimar Youth L13 Jewish people in Weimar L14 Weimar Culture L15 Weimar Politics, 1924-8 L16 Germany’s international position The lessons include the two types of exam question used, with examples of how to tackle them, using model answers, helpful hints and tips, structuring and scaffolding as well as markschemes. However, please refer to the AQA website for further assessment materials as they are subject to copyright. The lessons are also differentiated and fully resourced and allow students to reach the very top marks. If you have any questions about the lessons, please email me via my TES shop, or any other information about the course. I would also welcome any reviews, which would be gratefully appreciated.
