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 Weimar democracy, including political unrest from 1919 to 1923, Spartacists, Kapp Putsch, Munich Putsch, Stresemann recovery, new currency, Dawes Plan, Young 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 Weimar
A common mistake is to write about Weimar 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 Weimar is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
