Anyone doing A2 EDEXCEL Kaiser to Fuhrer for June? (2013)

Highly Unlikely, but possible. It won't really matter if it does though because you'd have already revised it!

Hey, I have a really probably dumb question, but can the material covered in the controversies come up in the a question? I was just going to do the WW1 controversy (I mean, I kind of know the other one but... yeah) because it's so much smaller but a friend has told me that the material can come up in the a and I'm just like GEE THANKS xD

I know people in my class have, its a bit too much for me!

I've done chap 3,4,5, and war economy of 9...I've done literally nothing for Hitler :/

Chapter 9 does link into some of the stuff from the Hitler controversy..but they won't ask you popularity stuff in section A and for WW1, they wont ask you causes of WW1 in section A..just impacts of WW1

Btw i've only done ww1 controversy and a lot of people here have only done that too..so i'm guessing its not that bad

I've done 2, 4, 7, 8 and 9. No questions have come up on 33-39 so I revised that quite a bit. e.g Consolidation of Nazi power, was it legal?

and thank you for showing me this thread! haha life saver!

I am stressing over the final solution! How did the existence of a chaotic state lead to the final solution?! help!

Ah crap I missed that out because its in the controversy chapter! Omg, do you think I should do it

After the failure at Leningrad and Stalingrad the Germans knew they were staring to lose the war. Many people think that the Final Solution was a 'might as well' thing. The Nazis hated the Jews, and they thought they needed to do all they could to destroy them before the Allies reached Berlin.

hang on though, the Wannsee conference was held in 1942 where they agreed on the final solution. The Battle of Stalingrad was in 1943. So the final solution was decided before?

Well maybe not Stalingrad. I'm just saying that Germany were aiming for a Blitzkrieg war, which worked until 42 when they were stopped at Leningrad and Moscow. They knew the Russians were unrelenting 'every 10 Russians for 1 German will ensure victory' and that they would never win a war of attrition, particularly now the US had got involved.
I just think they knew they were fighting a losing battle so decided to try and get rid of the Jews to achieve at least some 'success'.

Need serious help on stressman golden years? What would be your main points to make if question were to come up

Need serious help on stressman golden years? What would be your main points to make if question were to come up

So this could be one of two things:

So for the first one you just ask yourself what stresseman did and whether he was successful at it - on the one hand he never managed to get rid of Versailles, but on the other, his policy of fulfilment meant they got some concessions. Dawes plan 're-integrated' Germany into world politics by improving relations with America, as well as obviously helping to solve the depression and chaos of the previous years (but then, the plan did lead to greater depression later so this is one you can argue either way), he had other achievements too - young plan reduced reparations and got French out if Rhineland earlier, locarno was start in bringing Germany back into politics, as well as getting French out of Rhineland and securing Germany's western borders. Not forgetting the treaty of rapallo/treaty of Berlin which improved relations with Russia.

For the second you should look at the periods before and after - they were really crappy so made this period look better than it really was. Then look at culture (neue sachlichkeit, Bauhaus movement, escapism) and how it may have flourished but still undermined Weimar, social change (Reich relief law, Reich youth law, serious disability laws, increased spending on housing, BUT women workers were still looked down on and employers were still attacking workers rights), economy (dawes plan helped but it was risky, food prices collapsed, 15% workforce were unemployed in 1928) and then politics (SPD refused coalitions meaning that the most popular party were not in power, DNVP and centre party drifted right after poor election showings, grand coalition broke up after failure to agree on unemployment insurance law, Hindenburg did all he could to run a government through Bruning and keep the SPD out of power, coalitions meant that problems couldn't be dealt with effectively. BUT there wasn't too much extra-parliamentary action so that's good). Um, that's all I got GOOD LUCK xx


Ohh, forgot foreign policy and league of nations etc - basically, basically Germany wasn't a leper anymore GO STRESSEMAN!!
