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 one: Germany and the growth of democracy. The evidence should connect to Study the impact of the First World War, including war weariness, economic problems, defeat, the end of monarchy, reparations, Ruhr occupation and 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 world
A common mistake is to write about world as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in 1890-1945.
Anchor the answer to Part one: Germany and the growth of democracy, use precise evidence, and state whether world is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
