Collapse of the Grand Coalition | A Level

Democracy and Nazi Germany A Level Bundle, Part 2

**AQA GCE A Level Democracy and Nazism: Germany 1918-45** **The Collapse of Democracy 1928-1933** I have produced this bundle of resources on the collapse of democracy in Germany 1928-1933 to help A Level students gain a deeper understanding of Germany’s past and the collapse of democracy. The enquiry question throughout these lessons will be to evaluate how unstable Germany was, politically, socially and economically. Students will learn how the impact of the Wall Street Crash and the Depression a profound effect on the stability of the Weimar Republic and the significance of the rise of extremism as a direct consequence. They will also learn about the appeal of Communism as well as Nazism and how electoral support for them changed throughout the early 1930s. Students will evaluate backstairs intrigue as a succession of Chancellors failed to gain the support needed to effectively rule the country and how Hitler manipulated those around him to be appointed Chancellor in 1933. Finally students will analyse Hitler’s first Cabinet, the significance of the Reichstag Fire and how democracy ceased to exit as Nazis began to create a one party state. 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 The Wall Street Crash and Great Depression L2 The Collapse of the Grand Coalition L3 The appeal of Nazis L4 The appeal of Communism L5 Papen’s Cabinet of Barons L6 General Schleicher and backstairs intrigue L7 Hitler’s first cabinet (free resource) L8 The use of terror in 1933 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.
