Explanation
This exam-style task requires a developed historical argument rather than a list of facts. Begin with the relevant period from Paper 1 Section A: Period studies, then anchor the answer in Part two: Germany and the Depression. The evidence should connect to Study the failure of Weimar democracy, including election results, Papen, Hindenburg and Hitler's appointment as Chancellor and be explained through cause, consequence, change, continuity, significance or interpretation as appropriate. A strong final judgement shows why the selected evidence is more convincing than a vague or unsupported claim.
Common mistake
Avoid confusing Papen
A common mistake is to write about Papen as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in 1890-1945.
Anchor the answer to Part two: Germany and the Depression, use precise evidence, and state whether Papen is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
