Edexcel: From kaiser to fuhrer 1900-1945, his03/d exam friday 10th june 2016

im going to fail. ive only started to properly revise today and have no idea how to go about it! somebody help me pleaseee!!!!!!

Does anyone know that if a questions came up about morale would you mention resistance such as bomb plot and white rose? And vice versa if it was a question about opposition would you include morale such as women youth and churches? THanks

yes, you could use them to argue that morale wasn't high throughout the whole war and opposition formed, however the terror state and the weakness of opposition meant that morale stayed fairly intact.
for opposition you could simply state whether opposition was/not serious and the reasons why, you could also add that opposition wasn't serious because German morale was high up until 1942 and then declined.

you can get a good grade just by revising the day before so don't worry.

you should just focus on a few areas as you obviously can't revise the whole period in one day - I'd prepare for a question on the golden years (were they stable?) 1924-1929 and a question on the Final Solution (was it planned from the start, or did it arise through the chaotic nature of the Nazi state?)

but generally if you just learn WW2 (morale, final solution) and the Weimar Republic (threats to the republic in the early years, golden years) you SHOULD be fine for Section A

Section B - Choose one of the controversies and learn the important points/arguments i.e. for the WW1 controversy - slithered into war? war caused by aggressive german foreign policy? war to solve internal domestic problems in Germany? Fear of encirclement? military plans?

for section B generally a good plan is: introduction, paragraph agreeing, paragraph disagreeing and an inbetween paragraph with a conclusion. Important to cross reference the sources to show how each one disagrees/agrees with the other and implement own knowledge to support or disagree with points the sources make.

Is it possible go over WW2 opposition,morale,final solution,economy as well as Wiemar 1924-29 before the exam or should I sacrifice a section????

war economy has already came up. my teacher said it was unlikely to come up again

ohh okay what are your predictions?? do you think theres a chance of 1890-1918 or not??

The second reich? My teacher said it was highly unlikely and he predicted the wording of last years two questions right.

He said Final solution, Opposition to war, Golden years, Consolidation of Nazi power were the 4 topics most likely to come up.

okay thanks!

WEIMAR 1924-28

STRESEMAN (FOREIGN MINISTER)
introduced Dawes Plan April 1924
e.g. only 1000 Reichmarks to be paid a year until 1929....then raised to 2500 Reichmarks a year....this was effective as it slowed down reparation payments and allowed them to borrow from USA
Locarno Oct 1925
Stresemann negotiated to get some French troops out of Rhineland
Rentenmark 1926
Quickly prevented hyperinflation....new currency
League of Nations 1926
Germany now accepted kinda,,,,,countries no longer allowed to use troops against one another
Young Plan Summer 1929
Reparations decreased to 36 million to be payed back
2000 marks a year until 1988.....this was good as it made reparation payments simpler and more organised

Probably should note that its 2000 MILLION marks rather than just 2000. Few orders of a magnitude off there
Same with the values in bold.
