Germany 1890-1945 Democracy and Dictatorship Bundle Part 2

This bundle is the second part in a series of lessons I have created for AQA GCSE 9-1 Germany 1890-1945: Democracy and Dictatorship.

As well as focusing on GCSE exam practice questions, the lessons apply the skills necessary to enable the students to achieve the highest grades.

The lessons will allow students to demonstrate (AO1) knowledge and understanding of the key features and characteristics of the period studied from the Wall Street Crash and the transformation of the Nazi Party into an electable and indelible force.

They will study (AO2) second-order concepts such as change and continuity in the economic problems facing Germany and the causes and consequences of Hitler becoming Chancellor.

The analysis and evaluation of sources (AO3) are used in for example The Night of the Long Knives lesson whilst substantiated judgements are made (AO4) on the limited opposition in Nazi Germany as it moved from a democratic into a totalitarian state.

The lessons are as follows:
L1 The Wall Street Crash
L2 The rise of the Nazis and the transformation of the Nazi Party
L3 Hitler becomes Chancellor (free resource)
L4 Reichstag Fire and Enabling Act
L5 The Night of the Long Knives
L6 The Nazi Police State

Please note that setting a full mock examination in class after completing this unit is strongly recommended.
