OVERVIEW
This unit covers the impact of World War One on German politics. Students need to have a clear understanding of the Treaty Of Versailles and its impact on Germany in the post-war period. This period of political and economic upheaval paved the way for the rise of extremist political groups, the most notable of these being the Nazi Party. Students learn about this rise to power and the establishment of Nazi control in Germany, focusing on both domestic and foreign policy in the period between 1933 and 1939.
In the HSC examination, students must answer ONE 25 mark question in the form of a historical essay. Students will be given the choice of two questions. Generally this will include one question that focuses on the impact of the Weimar republic and/or the Treaty of Versailles; and one that focuses on Nazi policy in the period between 1933-39. However, it is important to have an understanding of the period as a whole to ensure that you are fully prepared for any question that is put forward.
