Source B provides some evidence that Hitler was well-liked in Germany. The German official claimed that Hitler provided jobs, order, and security, which resulted in low unemployment and a safe society. The official claims that no statesman has ever gotten as much respect for his achievements as Hitler did. The author of this account, a German official who served under Hitler, may be biased by propaganda.

# data[].attributes.body
no, source B does not prove that. source B was written by german official for a german newspaper. being a german official makes them more likely to support and side with hitler. since this source was for a german newspaper, only good things about hitler will be written there. this makes the source less reliable and does not prove that hitler was much loved in germany. the source was also written in 1936, when hitler was already elected and germany was under hitler’s rule. hence again, this does not prove that hitler was much loved in germany. source C states that, “hitler’s rule is frightening for many people”. this does not agree with source B and instead shows that hitler aas feared by people under his rule. this also makes source B less reliable, and does not prove that hitler was much loved in germany.

# data[].attributes.body
No, I feel that source B might not be reliable as the German Official would have a hidden agenda when being interviewed, to make people support the Nazi Party.

# data[].attributes.body
I did not trust source B at first. The provenance was a German Official. This shows that source B was produced by a biased source. Not only that, Source B was used to gain support for the Hitler. However source D states “He gave them huge tax breaks and introduced social benefits.  He ensured that not a single German went hungry.” Not only that, Source D is made by an American historian whose purpose is to provide accurate information from the past. This tells me that Source B is trustworthy and thus proves that Hitler was a great leader so that he would gain more support.

How I got my answer:
1. Provenance
Source B was produced by a German Official, which is a bias source.
2. Cross reference
Source D
Source D Provenance was an American Historian
Purpose/Tone of the Historian is to produce accurate information.
Source D can be cross referenced to Source B which makes Source B reliable for me.
3. Purpose/Tone
The German Official’s Purpose is to gain support for Hitler

Source B is trustworthy thus Source B proves that Hitler was loved in Germany

# data[].attributes.body
1. Provenance
-  No as Source B was by a German official, in an interview with a German newspaper. This shows that the German may be forced to talk good about Hitler so that Hitler look good in front of others, thus being biased
2. P/T
- No as there’s a purpose in the interview, means there is a hidden agenda made by the German official. This shows that it may be produced to influence others to support Hitler
3. C-R
- No as source B states that Hitler can help the Germans and a positive outlook of Hitler. Source C shows that Hitler was in a negative outlook and many Germans are scared of Hitler

# data[].attributes.body
No. It was written by a German official. The German official could be biased and only speaks highly of their country as he is loyal to Hitler. Therefore it is not reliable.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, Source B can be trusted as Source D backs it up by saying “Hitler was a leader who not only made Germans feel important, but also made sure they were well cared-for by the state.  He gave them huge tax breaks and introduced social benefits.  He ensured that not a single German went hungry. As such, most Germans saw Nazism as a warm-hearted protector.” showing that source B might be reliable.

# data[].attributes.body
No,I do not think that this source is reliable.This is because there is no evidence that really proof this statement.Moreover,the statement is said by a German official.The official might be biased towards Hitler or he might from Hitler’s Party.Besides that,it was an interview by a German newspaper.Different people have different opinions so it actually depends on who they were interviewing.

# data[].attributes.body
The source does not prove that Hitler is loved in Germany. The author of the source is a German official who may be working under Hitler. He praised Hitler for his contributions in Germany. Thus the source is unreliable because of the biasness of the author

# data[].attributes.body
No. Because the source was interviewed by a German official in 1936 and there could be biasness towards Hitler and also having to obey him as Hitler is in power at that period of them. Therefore the source is unreliable.

# data[].attributes.body
No. Source B can’t be trusted as it was taken from a German Official hence he might be bias by making the Nazi Party look good by saying good thinks in the interview. It was also taken in 1936, when Hitler was in power so the German Official can’t say anything that defies Hitler as he would be killed 💀

# data[].attributes.body
The tone in source B is very hopeful and proud. In contrast, Source D was written by an American historian and it took up a matter-of -fact tone. The source says that “ Hitler was a leader who not only made Germans feel important, but also made sure they were well cared-for by the state” this validates source B message that HItler managed to responded to people’s needs with concrete actions to make sure that they can make ends meet. This makes him a beloved figure in a majority of Germen’s

Positive sides of democracy: Democracy can generate opinions and decisions from representatives that are selected from the whole population. Through this system, people’s voices can be heard and deliberately expressed. Democracy can be considered as the most ideal and fairest form of government since it is built up by people and supports people’s wills. Generating all people together as decision makers also raises the chance of making better decisions in the democratic system, unlike other forms of governments where only the leaders make the decision.

Negative sides of democracy: Democracy is criticized by not being efficient. Since all people have the right to vote to make decisions together, a proportion of the population may not be able to generate the factors and make the right decisions. Some uneducated people may mislead others and result in making the wrong decision.

The October revolution overturned the interim provisional government and established the soviet union. The October Revolution was a much more deliberate event, orchestrated by a small group of people. The Bolsheviks who led this coup, prepared their coup in only six months. They were generally viewed as an extremist group and had very little popular support when they began serious efforts in April 1917. By October, the Bolsheviks’ popular base was much larger; though still a minority within the country as a whole, they had built up a majority of support within Petrograd and other urban centers.

(February revolution- Shortage in Cities) Food shortages became perilous during the winter of 1916 to 1917. Severe weather cut through the railway connections between the frontline, the cities and rural areas, and affecting the movement of resources and personnel. Hence, with the shortage of food arriving mostly to the cities, government started rationing food, thus people who were still hungry start to scavenge and loot for bread and moreover, protested.
(Alexandra's Misjudgement)
Tsarina Alexandra who held the reins of government, did not perceive the dangers of public unrest but dismissed it as a 'hooligan movement'. She told Nicholas that if the weather was cold, everybody should just stay inside and that was her fatal judgement.  Mikhail, the duma president followed with a need to help out the government and form his own government group since Nicholas wanted to dismiss as he was annoyed by Mikhail Rodzianko's overreaction.
-October Revolution
Members of the Bolshevik political party seized power in the capital of Russia, Petrograd. This conflict ultimately led to a Bolshevik victory in the Russian civil war that followed, and the establishment of the Soviet Union in 1922. In March, revolutionaries led by the Petrograd soviet, violently overthrew Czar Nicholas II, the monarch whose family had ruled Russia for more than three centuries. The czarist government was then replaced by a republic, mostly led by Russian nobles. The majority of Russians were peasants and industrial workers. They did not support the new noble-led government. The communist policies of the Bolshevik Party, led by charismatic lawyer Vladimir Lenin, appealed to these working class Russians.

Conflicts occur between people from different classes, mainly between factory workers and rich individuals for the overall shortage of food and poor living conditions. Workers saw these rich and powerful individuals as opponents of the Revolution, and called them "bourgeois", "capitalist", and "imperialist".
Lenin, as the leader of Bolsheviks, received support from the Germany government
People, especially workers and soldiers were opposing the Provisional Government’s desire of continuing the war against the central power.
Background
July Days
On 16 July, spontaneous demonstrations of workers and soldiers began in Petrograd, demanding that power be turned over to the soviets. On 17 July, over 500,000 people participated in what was intended to be a peaceful demonstration in Petrograd, the so-called July Days. However, the Provisional Government ordered an armed attack against the demonstrators, killing hundreds. Bolsheviks were arrested, workers were disarmed, and revolutionary military units in Petrograd were disbanded or sent to the war front.
Kornilov affair
Kornilov representing the government, was defeated by the Bolsheviks by stopping Kornilov’s troops. This made the Bolsheviks' popularity in the soviets grow significantly, both in the central and local areas.

Causes: All political parties were illegal in Russia before 1914. The Russian Social Democratic Workers Party was founded in 1898 by socialists, who respected Marxist ideas. But because of government policies, it had to operate secretly as an illegal organisation. It set up a newspaper, mobilised workers and organised strikes.

Majority of the Russians were agriculturalists. Major part of the land was owned by nobles and clergy and these peasants worked as farmers on daily wages. They were paid less and worked more and sometimes under debt, they were not even paid wages.

February Revolution:

1. World War I: The war had a devastating impact on the Russian economy and society. The military failures, coupled with food and fuel shortages, led to widespread discontent among the Russian people.

2. Tsar Nicholas II's leadership: Nicholas II was an ineffective leader who failed to address the growing social and economic problems in Russia. He was also heavily influenced by his wife, Alexandra, who was unpopular and mistrusted by the Russian people.

October Revolution:

1. Military support: The Bolsheviks had the support of the military, which had become disillusioned with the war and the Provisional Government.

2. Lenin's leadership: Lenin was a charismatic leader who was able to inspire and mobilize the masses. He had a clear vision for the future of Russia and was able to rally support for the Bolshevik cause.

The February Revolution was the first of two revolutions that took place in Russia in 1917. At the time of the revolution Russia was an autocracy, with Tsar Nicholas II holding absolute power over his people. It took place during the First World War and it resulted in the abdication of the Tsar and the end of nearly 500 years of autocratic rule in Russia.
