My immediate reaction to that question would be to challenge it, and ask whether the either/or distinction is valid. You could ask whether political extremism was, in part, a result of the treaty of Versailles.

That said, the last time I did anything post-1900 was in about 2009 so you might well conclude that the two parts of the question are in fact distinct.

which is, of course, an absurd suggestion; there's no way that Versailles didn't inform German political extremism in one way or another, but I suppose you'd better toe the line. I'd always recommend rebellion, though- the historical profession is built on patricide :P

That is the approach I would have taken, including at degree level.

If there is even the slightest opportunity, attack the question and especially any assumptions within it.
The problems faced by the Weimar Republic contrary to popular beliefs the Versailles Treaty wasn’t the only problem, and definitely not the main problem, either. Although it can perhaps be said that it escalated the problem they originally faced, the Weimar Republic and Germany as a country was made a scape goat out of as they only joined the war as an ally to another country and they took on the full blame, without even being considered as they were never invited to the negotiations. It's possible to say that without the Treaty the Weimar Republic might have been successful in the early 1920s.
