Sample questions

Section B

Page 22: Paper I Tips 2009

7 (a) What were the main features of the Weimar Constitution? [4]AWARD ONE MARK FOR EACH RELEVANT POINT MADE ABOUT THE MAIN

FEATURES OF THE WEIMAR CONSTITUTION. AWARD ONE ADDITIONAL MARK TO EACH POINT FOR SUPPORTING DETAIL. [4]

e.g. 'All Germans could vote (1); set up a system of proportional representation' (1)e.g. 'Set up a system of proportional representation - if a party gained 20 percent of

the votes, they gained 20 percent of the seats' (2).

Page 23: Paper I Tips 2009

(b) Explain why the Weimar Republic faced opposition between 1919 and 1923. [6]

LEVEL 1: GENERAL ASSERTION. ANSWERS LACK SPECIFIC CONTEXTUAL KNOWLEDGE. [1 ]e.g. 'Weimar government was weak.'

LEVEL 2: IDENTIFIES REASON(S)/GROUPS OR DESCRIBES. [2-3]ONE REASON (2 MARKS). TWO OR MORE REASONS (3 MARKS).

e.g. 'The German signing of the Treaty of Versailles was unpopular/e.g. The communists did not like democracy in Germany.'

LEVEL 3: EXPLAINS REASON(S). [3-6]ONE REASON (3-4 MARKS), TWO OR MORE REASONS (4-6 MARKS).

E.g. The Spartacists were Communists who argued strongly against Ebert's plans for a democratic Germany. They wanted Germany ruled by workers councils and started a

rebellion.'

Page 24: Paper I Tips 2009

(c) ‘The most important reason for the success of the Weimar Republic between 1924 and 1929 was US loans.’ Do you agree with this statement? Explain your answer. [10]

LEVEL 1; GENERAL AGREEMENT THAT US LOANS WERE IMPORTANT.OR

SUGGESTS ANOTHER REASON, BUT WITH NO EXPLANATION. [1]e.g. US loans.'

LEVEL 2: AGREES WITH THE QUESTION AND EXPLAINSOR

DISAGREES WITH THE QUESTION AND EXPLAINS ANOTHER IMPORTANT REASON. [2-4]e.g. Explains US loans

OR explains the leadership of Stresemann.N B. DESCRIPTION ONLY (MAXIMUM 3 MARKS). EXPLAINS ONE REASON AND IDENTIFIES ANOTHER (MAXIMUM 4

MARKS).LEVEL 3: EXPLAINS A VARIETY OF REASONS AND MAY CONCLUDE THAT ONE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE OTHERS.

[5-7]e.g. Explains why 'the leadership of Stresemann' brought success to the Weimar Republic; US loans; Germany's admission to the

League of Nations.'LEVEL 4- CONSIDERS A VARIETY OF REASONS, EXPLAINS WHY ONE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE OTHERS, OR WHY

OTHERS ARE LESS IMPORTANT THAN THE ONE CHOSEN (MUST COMPARE). [7-9]e.g. The leadership of Stresemann brought success to Germany between 1924 and 1929 as he settled the Ruhr Crisis and brought

financial stability- He also negotiated international agreements that raised Germany's world status. This brought about an era of peace and prosperity to Germany. Other reasons were not so important' (explained).

LEVEL 5: CONSTRUCTS AN EXPLANATION WHICH CONSIDERS THE INTER-RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN A RANGE OF REASONS, AND WHICH ILLUSTRATES THAT ONE 'MOST IMPORTANT REASON ON ITS OWN COULD NOT PROVIDE A

SATISFACTORY EXPLANATION. [9-10]e.g. The leadership of Stresemann brought success to Germany between 1924 and 1929 as he settled the Ruhr Crisis and brought financial stability. He also negotiated international agreements that raised Germany's world status. However, Stresemann could not have solved Germany's economic and financial problems alone and here the loans offered by the Dawes Ran helped tremendously

in allowing the Germans to pay off reparations and refloat industry. In the international arena attitudes towards the Germans softened and they were eventually allowed into the League of Nations in 1926. These three reasons together accounted for the era

of peace and prosperity in Germany between 1924 and 1929' (fully explained).

SOURCE E

I showed my report to Goering. ‘That’s sheer rubbish’, he said. ‘One sack of firelighting material! No, we must say one hundred sacks.’‘But that’s impossible, Minister. No one can believe that a single man can have carried all that.’‘Nothing is impossible. We must say there were ten or even twenty men. The whole thing was the signal for a Communist uprising. They must have come through the tunnel’

Goering’s press officer describing his conversation with Goering shortly after the Reichstag Fire on 27 February 1933.

7(c) Study Source E. In what ways is this source useful to an historian studying Hitler's rise to power? Use the source and your knowledge to explain your answer. [7]

Level 1: GENERAL ANSWER NOT USING THE SOURCE [1]e.g. 'One source by itself is of no use.'

'It is very useful it tells you lots of things about how he came to power.'Level 2: ASSERTIONS THAT THE REICHSTAG FIRE HELPED HITLER [2-3]

e.g. ‘The Nazis blamed the Fire on the Communists.’Level 3: CONTEXTUAL KNOWLEDGE USED TO EXPLAIN LIMITATIONS OF THE SOURCE

ORUSES CONTENT OF SOURCE TO EXPLAIN THAT NAZIS WANTED TO FRAME THE

COMMUNISTS [4-5]e.g. 'This source is not very useful because it does not tell you about how Hitler came to power in the first place. By this time Hitler had already done well in the elections and had been appointed as Chancellor. So this source

does not tell you much about his rise to power.'‘Hitler wanted to blame the Communists and so the information was being doctored such as the number of

sacks.’Level 4: CONTEXTUAL KNOWLEDGE USED TO EXPLAIN SIGNIFICANCE OF POINTS IN SOURCE

[5-7]e.g. 'This source is very useful because it shows that Goering was keen to put the blame for the fire on the Communists. He says it must have been 10 or 20 men because he wants people to believe that it was a

Communist uprising. This was a good move by the Nazis because it gave them the excuse to arrest Communist leaders and get rid of their opposition and to pass an emergency law which banned freedom of speech and

freedom of the press. It allowed the police to ban meetings and arrest anyone they wanted. This virtually gave the Nazis total power. This is why they wanted to blame the Fire on the Communists.'

the German Girls' League' (2).

Page 27: Paper I Tips 2009

(b) Explain why women were an important part of Hitler's plans for Germany. [6]

e.g. 'Women produced the children.'e.g. 'Women could help Nazi indoctrination.'

LEVEL 3: EXPLAINS REASON(S). [3-6]ONE REASON (3-4 MARKS), TWO OR MORE REASONS (4-6 MARKS).

e.g. 'Women were to support the Nazi state by bearing pure Ayran children, at least four. These children would provide the second generation of the Nazi regime.'

GROUPS WHO BENEFITED AND DID NOT BENEFIT. [8-10]e.g. The unemployed benefited because they got jobs on public works programmes and in the armed services.

Businessmen made more profits and their workers were more disciplined. However, free trade unions were banned and trade unionists were persecuted if they spoke up for their rights. Professional women were stopped from working in

order to stay at home with their families, which many resented as a restriction of their freedom' (fully explained).
