Re: From Second Reich to Third Reich: Germany 1918-45 ASHehehe. It's rather annoying as it seems everyone is doing Kaiser to Fuhrer 1900-45 and no one is doing this Edexcel unit.(Original post by M1011)
I'll have to check to be sure... but I think there might have been some sort of kerfuffle during that period. Maybe look into that?

Re: From Second Reich to Third Reich: Germany 1918-45 ASHEY! I'm doing this unit
Sorry I seem overexcited lol.
I'm so worried for this unit
I agree- there's so much to learn and I don't even remember anything after Hitler comes into power.
Which other topic are you doing? -

Re: From Second Reich to Third Reich: Germany 1918-45 ASRise of Facism in Italy. Both of them are very content driven and I'm worried I wont be able to remember all the content and perfect exam technique(Original post by Mallika)

Re: From Second Reich to Third Reich: Germany 1918-45 ASWe're doing the same topics(Original post by Joe909)
Rise of Facism in Italy. Both of them are very content driven and I'm worried I wont be able to remember all the content and perfect exam technique
Agreed, there's so much to learn, especially with the detail you need to go into to get level 4/5!
My exam technique is rubbish- I'm currently getting around 17-20 in essays and that's a C
I've found some revision notes for Italy which you might find helpful (these aren't mine, they're from the internet)
Do you have any tips for essay structure? The questions asked in these topics have moved from being simple questions on economic stability to asking more questions on the impact of individuals such as Goering, Streseman etc and these questions need a different approach because it's much harder to offer "integrated" responses on these questions- which is where I'm failing, I think. I really need help

Re: From Second Reich to Third Reich: Germany 1918-45 ASDid you do History GCSE ? I found that a lot of the Germany content came from that. This is what is going to let me down, the way we need to, as you said, "integrate" our answers.(Original post by Mallika)

From what I've "deciphered" from the mark scheme, if it was something on Streseman we should look at what he did, socially, economically and politically and what impact his direct actions affects the prefix of the question, whether its how he "Rescued" the Weimar government or something else. I haven't even started revising Italy, I want to focus on exam tech first and then get the content in
Edit: You are my new god for those notes. Holy ****ING ****

The revision sites made for GCSE students for this time period is very useful though 
Thank you, that's very useful! I think I'm going to do content first- and build up exam technique as I go along since if I fail in my exam, I could just narrate and get a few marks at least :P
As I said, they're not mine but are notes from get-revising I'm going to use them to build up my own notes, since that's the only way I'll get round to reading them :P Hopefully I'll find something similar for Germany
Do you have any information on the fourth bullet point on the spec:
4. The fall of the Third Reich: impact of the Second World War on Germany and reasons for defeat?
I dont have a textbook and my teacher hasn't given me any notes on this, and I don't think it's come up in the past either, so just want to be covered! -

Re: From Second Reich to Third Reich: Germany 1918-45 AShttp://www.amazon.co.uk/Weimar-Nazi-.../dp/0719573432 - This is what I'm using.. Amazing for content, AWFUL for exercises... But for this late in the year its hardly necessary to do the activities anyway, I'd check local shops or Ebay and snag this.(Original post by Mallika)

Though I don't think I would be worth getting it so close to the exams, I might as well focus on exam technique and hope for the best!
So scared

Could you help me with essay structure? I know the basic points which I need to answer the questions with but my essays are way too short- when explaining a particular point, how much detail do you need to go into? -

Re: From Second Reich to Third Reich: Germany 1918-45 ASSo this is what I would do:
Lets use "Gustav Stresemann prevented Weimar Germany from collapse in the years 1924-1939?" as a placeholder:
Into - Give your opinion in in the introduction but without answering the question if that makes sense. Introduce weimar's state and who he is
Thesis: Whatever you think, you can break each point up into a paragraph. So you may have 3-4 paragraphs saying how and what effect he had on Weimar.
Antithesis: The other side... You could talk about how Weimar was doomed or how other people saved it. Once again this could be 3-4 paragraphs
Conclusion: "To an extent, he did... However......He didn't"
Probably not very helpful but that is how I would approach a standard essay. -

"Not very helpful" are you insane! Lol probably the most helpful thing i've found on tsr today. Gonna use this format to structure my essay tomorrow, i got a B in this exam last time but i think i missed out on an A because of structure, i knew everything else down to a T, so i'm hoping writing an essay with this structure will get me an A.
Finger's Crossed and good luck to you too. -

Re: From Second Reich to Third Reich: Germany 1918-45 ASHow did you guys find it ? I chose the foreign policy for Facism and Personality for Hitler, pretty easy except I f'ed up on the timing massively.(Original post by Alevelsareboring)

As I said, they're not mine but are notes from get-revising
