2) The Spartacists, Weimar Government, Freikrops and the German Army. 

3) The Spartacists organised a general strike against the Weimar Government. They formed a revolutionary committee, taking control of public buildings and putting up red flags, the symbol of communism. Ebert used force to subdue them by deploying the Freikorps. The German Army eventually brought the rebellion to an end on 10 January 1919. 

4) Outcome: Many Spartacists were killed and the Spartacists leaders, Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht were also murdered. 

5) These rebellions against the Weimar Government are evidences of the unpopularity that the government had among its people, which lead to their eventual downfall.

2) Hitler, Marinus van der Lubbe, the Nazis Party

3) The Reichstag Parliament building in Berlin was set on fire by Marinus van der Lubbe, a Dutchman. He was arrested near the building that day along with several leaders of the Communist Party, and the Nazis accused him of being part of a communist conspiracy. They were then charged with arson and attempting to overthrow the government. 

4) Hitler used this incident to convince President Hindenburg to invoke Article 48 of the constitution and establish emergency powers, as well as to sign the Reichstag Fire Decree. It suspended civil liberties such as freedom of the press and freedom to assemble in public. Hitler's SA arrested communists, broke up their meetings and shut down their newspapers. Those who spoke against Hitler were also beaten up.

5) This event is significant as it gave Hitler the opportunity to deal with his strongest rivals. It also greatly affected the election campaigns of the other political parties in preparation for the March 1933 elections.

2) Wolfgang Kapp and General Walter von Luettwittz

3) An attempt to overthrow the Weimar Republic government.  The leader of the Freikrops ("Free Corps") authorised General to lead a group of Freikrops soldiers to take over control of Berlin and overthrow the Weimar Government. 

4) On 13 March 1920, the soldiers took over Berlin and announced a new right-wing government with Kapp as the Prime Minister. Wolfgang Kapp is a right-wing politician who opposed the Weimar Republic due to the humiliation that they caused by signing the Treaty of Versailles (TOV). 

5) It shows how the Weimar Government lacked strong support from the people, politicians and soldiers, who had worked for the Kaiser and wished for his return.

2) Hitler, President Hindenburg, Franz von Papen, Kurt von Schleicher

3) Both Franz von Papen and Kurt von Schleicher had no support within the Reichstag. After Franz von Papen, another election was called in November 1932, and Kurt von Schleicher was forced to resign. 

4) After much negotiation, Hitler was appointed as Chancellor. Hindenburg and von Papen thought that Hitler would be able to get the support the Reichstag needed. 

5) This is significant as Hitler's capabilities were underestimated and when the time was right, Hitler managed to take complete control of the government.

2) President Hindenburg, Hitler, Weimar Constitution

3)While some wanted to return to a constitutional monarchy, the Weimar Constitution stated that there must be a President. Hitler emerged the powers of the President with those of the Chancellor and proclaimed himself Fuehrer, supreme leader of the German people. 

4) He now had the ability to invoke Article 48. A plebiscite was held and the German people approved of Hitler being in complete control of Germany. 

5) This is significant as this allowed Hitler to be above the law.

2) Hitler, Nazi Party

3) With the Communist Party out of the way, the Nazi Party won 44 per cent of the vote in March 1933 elections. It was the minority. With the support of another small-wing party, the vote became the majority. Hitler then planned to pass the enabling act, which would eventually give him a large amount of power such as passing laws without the President's approval. 

4) On 23 March, when the Enabling Act was to be voted on, only Nazis and their supporters were allowed in the building, which would give them a 100% vote of the Act being passed. The bill for the Enabling Act was therefore passed. Hitler's position of authority was further strengthened by the enforcement of the Enabling Act. In addition, the Communist Party and the Social Democrat Party were banned from taking part in any future election. 

5) This event is significant because it greatly increased the political authority of Hitler and the Nazis in Germany.

2) The newly-formed post-war Weimar Government, the “victorious powers” of WW1

3) Germany had no choice but to sign the treaty of continue fighting the war. The terms of the treaty were: War Guilt Clause, territorial reductions, demilitarisation, reparations, self-determination of people previously belonging to Austria-Hungary, formation of the League of Nations

4) Germans were angry at the Weimar Government for agreeing to sign to treaty. Germany’s standing amongst the world powers was also greatly reduced due to the territorial reductions. Germany was also unable to fight back against any attacking powers and struggled economically. Many nationalities also found themselves outside of their nation-states.

5) The event is significant as it meant that the Weimar Government was extremely weak due to the lack of support from Germans. Germany also suffered a lot of irreparable damage to its economy.

  1. 14 July 1933 
  2. Hitler, the Nazi Party
  3. Hitler passed a law and made the Nazi Party the only legal political party in Germany. He created a totalitarian state, and other political parties were outlawed. 
  4. The Nazi officials took charge of local governments in the individual states of the German federation, with trade unions taken over and their leaders imprisoned. The media was under total Nazi control, and most of Hitler’s opponents either fled Germany or were sent to concentration camps.
  5. This event made Hitler a legal dictator, and gave the Nazi Party full control of the government.

  • June 1934
  • Hitler, SA and its leader Roehm
  • As Hitler consolidated power, the SA had helped him disrupt the meetings of other political parties and broke up strikes, as well as enforced his will after becoming Chancellor. Hitler was concerned about the growing power of the SA, which had grown to nearly 3 million in numbers, almost 10 times the size of the regular army. Roehm, the leader of the SA, had also become too powerful. The army leader also viewed the SA as a threat to the army, and convinced Hitler that the SA was a threat to him. 
  • In June 1934, the SS arrested and killed Roehm and other SA members. Many of hitler’s opponents were also killed. Around 400 men were killed, and the power of the SA was broken and became subjected to the power of the SS.
  • This allowed Hitler to gain absolute power in Germany by removing political opposition and gain support from the military.

    2) Nazi Diplomat, young Jewish boy, Hitler, Nazis, Jews

    3) A Nazi Diplomat was shot dead by a young Jewish Boy in Paris

    4) Hitler used this as an excuse for ordering a campaign of terror to be unleashed on Jews in Germany and Austria. Nazis looted and destroyed thousands of Jewish homes. Jews were arrested and sent to concentration camps. This was so Hitler and Nazis could use this as an excuse to fuel their hatred and opposition against Jews.

    5) This event was significant as it was what started the mass killing and prejudice against Jewish people and the establishment of concentration camps.

    2) Hitler, Nazi leaders

    3) The Nazi Leaders met at the Wannsee conference to discuss and finalise plans to kill all the Jews of Europe. The deadliest phase of the Holocaust, or the 'Final Solution', thus began with Heinrich Himmler as its master planner.

    4) This resulted in the mass killing of Jews, by 1942, the Nazis had built six death camps in Poland to expedite the mass killings of Jews. By the time world war II ended, an estimated two-third of the world's Jewish population was dead.

    5) This event was significant as it caused the countless sufferings of many Jewish people as well as the rise of fear of the Nazis.

    2) Germany, Almost every country in the world, USA.

    3)The Great Depression was a severe worldwide economic depression between 1929 and 1939 that began after a major fall in stock prices in the United States. The economic shock transmitted across the world, impacting countries to varying degrees, with Germany experiencing the Great Depression from 1929. The Great Depression was the longest, deepest, and most widespread depression of the 20th century.

    4) Germany was dependent on loans and investments from the USA. Thus when the USA suddenly recalled the loans and deposits from German Bank, Germany suffered an economic crisis which in turn caused a social crisis. Factories closed down. Millions lost their jobs. the government also had to make cuts to Social Services. poverty, homelessness, and even starvation were commonplace. By 1932, 6 million people or 1/3 of the working population were unemployed.

    5) This event was significant as the situation not only resulted in millions of deaths, it also resulted in a political crisis. The coalition government in power at the time could not decide what course of action to take. From 1930 onwards, no government had enough support in the Reichstag to pass laws. However, the president at that time was a right-wing nationalist which did not really care for democracy. People were angry and wanted decisive action. There was a decline in support for parties with moderate opinions and a rise in support for more extreme parties like the nazi party and the communist party. Leading to the rise of hitler.

    2) The left-wing (a group that supports social change to create a more equal society. They also favour equal advantages and opportunities and the collective good over individualism ) and the right-wing (a group that favours the existence of transitional social classes and hierarchy. In Germany, they are monarchists who wished to bring the Kaiser back into power. )

    2) Germans politicians, Kaiser Wilhelm II 

    3) Germany’s emperor, Kaiser Wilhelm II, gave up his rule on 9 November 1918. WW1 ended officially on 11 November 1918. Germany’s new republican government was declared in the town of Weimar in February 1919. It became known as the Weimar Republic. It’s first president was Friedrich Ebert, leader of German Social Democratic Party. All citizens were guaranteed freedom of speech and religion by the Bill of Rights. All men and women over the age of 20 could vote in elections.

    4)However, the Weimar Republic has 3 key weaknesses that contributed to its downfall. They are the system of proportional representation, the instability of coalition governments and Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution.

    5)The creation of the Weimar Republic marked a new-start for Germany after the war. It was no longer rule by an emperor but instead a government.

    2. France and Belgium (invaded Ruhr)
    Germany

    3. Germany had to pay reparations for the damage they caused during World War 1. 
    In December 1922, Germany failed to make payment. This led to France and Belgium invading in retaliation. They seized mines, factories and railways. 
    However, the Germans adopted a policy of non-cooperation. Workers went on strike so that the French would not not be able to use the mines, factories and railways they took.
    The government responded to this by printing more money to pay the striking Ruhr workers and to pay off some of its debt. This led to the value of money to spiral out of control resulting in hyperinflation. Not only were the poor hard hit but the middle class and wealthier Germans saw their savings wiped out virtually overnight.



    4)Reasons: Post war Germany struggled with poverty, high unemployment and a fragile economy.The only way for the government to keep up with the reparations was to keep printing more money. In December 1922, Germany failed to make payment leading to France’s retaliation.

    Outcomes: However, the Germans adopted a policy of non-cooperation. Workers went on strike so that the French would not not be able to use the mines, factories and railways they took.
    The government responded to this by printing more money to pay the striking Ruhr workers and to pay off some of its debt. This led to the value of money to spiral out of control resulting in hyperinflation. Not only were the poor hard hit but the middle class and wealthier Germans saw their savings wiped out virtually overnight.The Hyperinflation caused the Weimar government to lose the support of the middle and lower middle class Germans.

    5) This was one of the most devastating instances of Hyperinflation. This emphasised the weakness of the Weimar government and the impact a weak government can do to a country. This event led to even more Germans losing trust in the Weimar government. The Germans wanted greater economic and political stability and looked to other parties such as the Nazi party.

    2. SA, Nazi Party

    3. SA was established as Nazi party’s paramilitary organisation. The SA served as Hitler’s security and provided military support in the enforcement of Hitler’s orders.

    4. Reason: The SA made the Nazi Party more credible and helped to prevent the function of other parties. Increasing the support for the Nazi party.

    Outcome: The SA helped to break up Communist party meetings which gained support of the anti communist. 
    The SA also broke up strikes which gained support of the industrialists.
    Thus increasing the number of votes for the Nazi party.

    5. The SA served Hitler loyally and helped Hitler to carry out many orders he would not have been able to carry out without a military. For example, the SA helped in the Reichstag fire to arrest communists, break up their meetings and shut down their newspapers.

    2) Bundestag (Translation: Federal Assembly, refers to one of the two legislative chambers of the Federal Republic of Germany) and the People’s Chamber.

    3) The Reunification of Germany was the process in 1990 by which the German Democratic Republic became part of the Federal Republic of Germany to form the reunited country of Germany. A treaty was ratified in September and went into effect on October 3, 1990.

    4)The German Democratic Republic joined the Federal Republic as five additional Länder (The five new Länder were Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-West Pomerania, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia), and the two parts of divided Berlin became one Land. Due to Soviet objections to East Germany being absorbed into the NATO alliance, an agreement was reached which allowed a reunified Germany to remain a part of NATO on the condition that NATO troops were not to be stationed in East German territory. In addition to allaying Soviet concerns, Chancellor Kohl was able to convince the leaders of the United Kingdom and France that a unified Germany would represent no threat to its neighbours by tying German reunification with the tighter integration of Germany into the European Union.

    5) Two months following reunification, all-German elections took place and Helmut Kohl became the first chancellor of the reunified Germany. Although this action came more than a year before the dissolution of the Soviet Union, for many observers the reunification of Germany effectively marked the end of the Cold War. Without reunification, Germany would have chosen the path of a federal Europe where continental institutions were more important than ethnic nationalism. Hence it was very significant.

    2) President Henry Truman (United States), Churchill + Prime Minister Clement Attlee (Great Britain), Stalin (Soviet Union)

    3) This conference was held to allow the three leading Allies to plan the postwar peace, while avoiding the mistakes of the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. The conferees discussed the substance and procedures of the peace settlements in Europe but did not attempt to write peace treaties. That task was left to a Council of Foreign Ministers.

    4) Despite many disagreements, the British delegation, Stalin and Truman did manage to conclude some agreements at Potsdam. It was decided that Germany would be occupied by the Americans, British, French and Soviets. It would also be demilitarised and disarmed. This conference was held so that the Big Three could discuss about the immediate administration of defeated Germany, the demarcation of the boundaries of Poland, the occupation of Austria, the definition of the Soviet Union’s role in eastern Europe, the determination of reparations, and the further prosecution of the war against Japan.

    5) This conference was significant because it contributed to the division of Germany through reparations of each allied sides occupation zones, and divisions of European countries between the US and the USSR. After the division between the free world and communist camps, Stalin brought down an Iron Curtain to keep invasions from the West out.

    **1933–1941 (when Nazi Germany started to enact discriminatory laws towards the Jews and no killings were carried out during this period of time)

    The above information was retrieved from this website: https://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/holocaust/timeline.html

    2) European Jews,  Nazi Germany and its allies (refers to Axis countries officially allied with Nazi Germany) and collaborators (refers to regimes and organizations that cooperated with German authorities in an official or semi-official capacity which included some local police forces, bureaucracies, and paramilitary units).

    3) Nazi Germany and its allies and collaborators killed nearly two out of every three European Jews using deadly living conditions, brutal mistreatment, mass shootings and gassings, and specially designed killing centers.

    4) The persecution and murder of six million European Jews. The Nazis targeted Jews because the Nazis were radically antisemitic. This means that they were prejudiced against and hated Jews. In fact, antisemitism was a basic tenet of their ideology and at the foundation of their worldview. The Nazis falsely accused Jews of causing Germany’s social, economic, political, and cultural problems. In particular, they blamed them for Germany’s defeat in WWI (1914–1918). The Nazis believed that Jews were a problem that needed to be removed, hence the mass murders, which was called “The Final Solution” by Adolf Hitler.

    5) The Holocaust had wiped out 2/3 of the European Jewish population. It was one of the worst war crimes ever committed in German history and was considered as one of the key examples of anti-Semitism and prejudice, genocide and the development of human rights initiatives after 1945. In addition, The Holocaust’s significance to 20th century/German history can be inferred from the fact that it has been made into countless films, movies and books.

    3.  on June 22, 1941, over 3 million german troops invaded russia in three parallel offensives, in what is the most  powerful invasion force in history. nineteen panzer divisions, 3,000 tanks, 2,500 aircraft, and 7,000 artillery pieces pour across a thousand-mile front as hitler goes to war on a second front.

    4. the german invasion of russia became a massive failure.
    soviet industry was deemed incapable of producing modern weapons. most importantly, russian troop numbers and fighting strength were continually underestimated, so that despite the losses inflicted in early encirclement battles, the germans always faced yet more reinforcements.

    5. the failure of german troops to defeat soviet forces in the campaign signaled a crucial turning point in the war.

    2)Germany, United States and England (Britain)

    3)By 1914, Germany and the United States were overtaking England economically and were the world’s fastest growing economies. Great Britain had a strategy to impose a blockade on Germany to prevent further success of the country.

    4)Germany’s economic success was undermined by the war and US-German trade was reduced to less than 1% of its 1914 value by England’s successful naval blockade. American ships going to England thus became targets for German U-boats.
