Systems or nature of government as a comparison question.

Comparing support for democracy in Weimar and FRG

An oposition comparison question

An FRG focused question for Section B

Adenauer Section A

Reasons Weimar or FRG survived challenges?

Maybe ethnic minorities somewhere?

comparing opposition in the different periods e.g. 'to what extent was opposition in nazi Germany different to do that under Wiemar'

Yes or having it feature in a Section A facotrs question
I think we might get a comparison of education question aswell cuz there hasn't been anything on education in section A or B the last 2 years

The only is, what would they ask? I doubt they would compare Nazis to another period as that’s a bit, not insensitive but kind of weird? Could just be on Nazi racial policy or on Weimar to FRG? Who knows

Maybe even Weimar women and Ethnic Minorities together?
yeah weimar vs. FRG is more likely I think since they usually only compare 2 periods and either period against Nazi would be almost too straightforward, not that i'd complain lol, FRG ethnic minorities vs. Nazi would actually be pretty good

FRG and Nazi would be quite interesting because although it’s straight forward, there are small parallels imo
think it's fair to say those predictions came in handy. Don't think I've been so happy to see the words 'ethnic minorities'

Imagine I was going to go to sleep and not revise FRG the night before, best decision of my life to revise it. Amazing paper overall. What did you guys write for Question 1A the Weimar Question?

Named factor and then as a counter I did evidence that there was support for democracy and then how economic factors were more significant and how they actually contribute to a lack of support for democracy

I wrote about Left wing support and Right wing support leading to lack of support for democracy and support for these groups then I countered the question and wrote about early economic problems before stressman and economic problems during the Great Depression after Stressmen. Concluded against the Source with Great Depression as main reason and economic issues

Is my answer above good?

Yeah it sounds like a strong answer, better than mine cuz at first when I saw the question I was kind of shook and I couldn’t remember any points for economic or for support of democracy so I wasted a bit of time, so my answer was kinda rushed

I reckon my strongest answer was section B I think overall I’ve probably got like 14,16,15 on A B and C
