About Weimar Germany

GoConqr Original

What this unit covers

The resources follow Weimar Germany from defeat in the First World War to Hitler becoming chancellor. Early material looks at the revolution of 1918-19, the Treaty of Versailles and the first uprisings. The middle of the unit covers hyperinflation and the middle years. Later items cover the Wall Street Crash and the road to Nazi power.

Where to start

Begin with the mind map Was the Weimar Republic doomed from the start?, which asks how Germany emerged from defeat and what happened in the Revolution of 1918-19. Then open 1919-1929: The Weimar Republic for the constitution, including the President's powers: election every seven years, the right to select and dismiss the Chancellor, and command of the armed forces.

  1. Read German Revolution 1918-1919 for the order of events, from revolution from above to the armistice.
  2. Move to Hyperinflation In Germany for reparations and the French occupation of the Ruhr.
  3. Finish the recovery with The Golden age of Weimar 1924-1929 and the mind map on Gustav Stresemann.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a map first, then test yourself straight away. After the revolution map, try the quiz The Spartacist Uprising. After the notes and maps on early problems, try The Kapp Putsch or Uprisings 1919 - 1923. For the later years, Stresemann's Policies and The Dawes Plan fit well. Wherever you drop marks, go back to the matching map and read that branch again.

Flashcards and revision decks

Flashcard decks such as The Weimar Republic, 1919-1929 ask what the Spartacus League and the MSPD were and what each wanted in 1918. Several decks are labelled for GCSE, AS Level or Edexcel courses, and the listed resources also mention AQA, OCR and IB History. Check any resource against your own specification.

Where it sits

This unit belongs to the strand The World Wars and the Interwar Era (1900-1945) in History. Pick one map, take one quiz, then make your own flashcards for the dates and terms that slipped.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the mind map Was the Weimar Republic doomed from the start?. It covers how Germany emerged from defeat in the First World War and the Revolution of 1918-19, which sets up everything after. Then move on to the mind map 1919-1929: The Weimar Republic for the constitution.

Which quizzes cover the early uprisings?

Try The Spartacist Uprising, The Kapp Putsch and Uprisings 1919 - 1923. There is also a quiz called Spartacists, Kapp or Munich Beer Hall Putsch?, which is useful for telling the three events apart once you have read the maps.

What do the mind maps on the later years cover?

For the recovery, look at The Golden age of Weimar 1924-1929, which mentions the League of Nations, the Ruhr and the Locarno treaties. Gustav Stresemann has his own map. For the end of the republic, see Impacts of the Wall Street Crash-1929 and Hitler becomes Chancellor.

Which exams are these resources useful for?

The listed resources mention GCSE History, A-level History, AQA History, OCR GCSE History and IB History. All of the material is for school level. Since the resources were made by different users, compare each one with your own exam specification before relying on it.

Are the resources free, and who made them?

Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.

What if I can't find the topic I need?

Look at the other formats first. A subject may appear as a note or flowchart rather than a quiz, such as the Weimar Constitution flowchart or the notes on Social hardship in Germany. If it is still missing, make your own mind map or flashcard deck.
