The document contains sample exam questions and answers about the League of Nations. The main aims of the League were to prevent war through peaceful dispute resolution, disarmament, improving working conditions, and international cooperation. Major nations like the US and Germany were not original members - the US was isolationist and did not want to get involved in European conflicts, while Germany was excluded as punishment for starting WWI. There were multiple reasons for the League's weakness in the 1920s, including the lack of an army, but also the absence of the US and the League's slow decision-making process which allowed more powerful nations to act in their own self-interest.

The Treaty of Versailles was the most important of the peace treaties that brought World War I to an end. The Treaty ended the state of war between Germany and the Allied Powers. It was signed on 28 June 1919 in Versailles, exactly five years after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The other Central Powers on the German side of World War I signed separate treaties. Although the armistice, signed on 11 November 1918, ended the actual fighting, it took six months of Allied negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference to conclude the peace treaty. The treaty was registered by the Secretariat of the League of Nations on 21 October 1919.

07. DEPTH STUDY GERMANY: NAZI REGIME - REICHSTAG FIRE SOURCESGeorge Dumitrache
07. DEPTH STUDY GERMANY: NAZI REGIME - REICHSTAG FIRE
On February 27, 1933, the German parliament (Reichstag) building burned down. The Nazi leadership and its coalition partners used the fire to claim that Communists were planning a violent uprising. They claimed that emergency legislation was needed to prevent this. The resulting act, commonly known as the Reichstag Fire Decree, abolished a number of constitutional protections and paved the way for Nazi dictatorship.

05. DEPTH STUDY GERMANY: NAZI REGIME - HITLER CONSOLIDATING POWER 1933-34.PPTX
Following Hitler’s appointment as chancellor the Nazis were finally in a position of power.
However, this power was limited, as the Nazis were just one party in a three party coalition government, under President Hindenburg.
This topic will explore how the Nazis managed to eliminate their opposition and consolidate ultimate power over Germany, whilst maintaining an illusion of democracy.
It will first explore this topic in chronological order, from the Reichstag Fire through to the death of President Hindenburg, and then explore it thematically in the last section. On the 31 January 1933, Hitler, conscious of his lack of a majority in the Reichstag, immediately called for new elections to try and strengthen his position. The Nazis aimed to increase their share of the vote so that they would have a majority in the Reichstag. This would allow them to rule unopposed and unhindered by coalition governments.
Over the next two months, they launched themselves into an intense election campaign.
On 27 February 1933, as the campaign moved into its final, frantic days, the Reichstag, the German Parliament building, was set on fire and burnt down. An atmosphere of panic and terror followed the event.
This continued when a young Dutch communist, Van der Lubbe was arrested for the crime.
The Nazi Party used the atmosphere of panic to their advantage, encouraging anti-communism. Göring declared that the communists had planned a national uprising to overthrow the Weimar Republic. This hysteria helped to turn the public against the communists, one of the Nazis main opponents, and 4000 people were imprisoned.
The day after the fire, Hindenburg signed the Emergency Decree for the Protection of the German People. On the 28 February 1933, President Hindenburg signed the Emergency Decree for the Protection of the German People. This decree suspended the democratic aspects of the Weimar Republic and declared a state of emergency.
This decree gave the Nazis a legal basis for the persecution and oppression of any opponents, who were be framed as traitors to the republic. People could be imprisoned for any or no reason.
The decree also removed basic personal freedoms, such as the freedom of speech, the right to own property, and the right to trial before imprisonment.
Through these aspects the Nazis suppressed any opposition to their power, and were able to start the road from democracy to a dictatorship. The atmosphere of uncertainty following the Reichstag Fire secured many voters for the Nazi party.
The SA also ran a violent campaign of terror against any and all opponents of the Nazi regime. Many were terrified of voting of at all, and many turned to voting for the Nazi Party out of fear for their own safety. The elections were neither free or fair.
On the 5 March 1933, the elections took place, with an extremely high turnout of 89%.
The Nazis secured 43.9% of the vote.
DEPTH STUDY GERMANY: NAZI REGIME - 04. HITLER BECOMING CHANCELLOR 1933George Dumitrache
Hitler was not immediately appointed chancellor after the success of the July 1932 elections, despite being leader of the largest party in the Reichstag. It took the economic and political instability (with two more chancellors failing to stabilise the situation) to worsen, and the support of the conservative elite, to convince Hindenburg to appoint Hitler.
Hitler was sworn in as the chancellor of Germany on the 30 January 1933. The Nazis were now in power.
DEPTH STUDY GERMANY: WEIMAR REPUBLIC - 08. NAZIS IN THE WILDERNESSGeorge Dumitrache
The “Lean Years” (also called the "wilderness" years) of Hitler and the Nazi Party in Germany refer to the period between 1924 and 1928 when the Nazi party did not have high levels of support and still suffered from humiliation over the Munich Putsch. Why where these years “lean”?
DEPTH STUDY GERMANY: WEIMAR REPUBLIC - 07. STRESEMMAN ERA 1924-1929George Dumitrache
The period 1924-1929 was a time when the Weimar economy recovered and cultural life in Germany flourished. This dramatic turnabout happened in large part because of the role played by Gustav Stresemann who became Chancellor in August 1923 during the hyperinflation crisis.
DEPTH STUDY GERMANY: WEIMAR REPUBLIC - 06. THE BEER HALL PUTSCH 1923George Dumitrache
The Beer Hall Putsch, also known as the Munich Putsch, was a failed coup d'état by Nazi Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP) leader Adolf Hitler, Generalquartiermeister Erich Ludendorff and other Kampfbund leaders in Munich, Bavaria, on 8–9 November 1923, during the Weimar Republic. Approximately two thousand Nazis marched on the Feldherrnhalle, in the city centre, but were confronted by a police cordon, which resulted in the deaths of 16 Nazi Party members and four police officers. Hitler escaped immediate arrest and was spirited off to safety in the countryside. After two days, he was arrested and charged with treason. The putsch brought Hitler to the attention of the German nation for the first time and generated front-page headlines in newspapers around the world. His arrest was followed by a 24-day trial, which was widely publicised and gave him a platform to express his nationalist sentiments to the nation. Hitler was found guilty of treason and sentenced to five years in Landsberg Prison, where he dictated Mein Kampf to fellow prisoners Emil Maurice and Rudolf Hess. On 20 December 1924, having served only nine months, Hitler was released. Once released, Hitler redirected his focus towards obtaining power through legal means rather than by revolution or force, and accordingly changed his tactics, further developing Nazi propaganda.
DEPTH STUDY GERMANY: WEIMAR REPUBLIC - 05. HYPERINFLATIONGeorge Dumitrache
Hyperinflation affected the German Papiermark, the currency of the Weimar Republic, between 1921 and 1923, primarily in 1923. It caused considerable internal political instability in the country, the occupation of the Ruhr by France and Belgium, and misery for the general populace.

Thanks to the Treaty of Versailles, Germany's ability to produce revenue-generating coal and iron ore decreased. As war debts and reparations drained its coffers, the German government was unable to pay its debts. Some of the former World War I Allies didn't buy Germany's claim that it couldn't afford to pay.
DEPTH STUDY GERMANY: WEIMAR REPUBLIC - 02. THE NOVEMBER REVOLUTION 1918George Dumitrache
The German Revolution or November Revolution was a civil conflict in the German Empire at the end of the First World War that resulted in the replacement of the German federal constitutional monarchy with a democratic parliamentary republic that later became known as the Weimar Republic. The revolutionary period lasted from November 1918 until the adoption of the Weimar Constitution in August 1919. Among the factors leading to the revolution were the extreme burdens suffered by the German population during the four years of war, the economic and psychological impacts of the German Empire's defeat by the Allies, and growing social tensions between the general population and the aristocratic and bourgeois elite.

2. WHAT WERE THE MAIN AIMS
OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS?
(4 MARKS, 5 MINUTES)
3. ENUMERATE 4 DIFFERENT IDEAS
The main aims were to prevent war by settling disputes
peacefully (1) through the League, to encourage disarmament
(1) and to improve working conditions (1) around the world.
Another important aim was to encourage cooperation
(1)between countries.
4. EXPLAIN WHY SOME MAJOR NATIONS
WERE NOT MEMBERS OF THE LEAGUE
OF NATIONS WHEN IT WAS FIRST SET
UP?
(6 MARKS, 10 MINUTES)
5. DEVELOP AND EXPLAIN VERY WELL ONE MAJOR POINT (5
IDEAS). EXPLAIN A SECOND ONE (1-2 IDEAS).
America did not join the League of Nations because many
Americans were isolationists (1). They thought that countries in
Europe were always quarrelling and they did not want to get
dragged into these quarrels (2). They had already lost a lot of men
in the First World War and they did not want more Americans
dying (3). They thought America could do well if it kept itself to
itself (4). They also thought that getting involved in the League
would be expensive because America was the richest country in
the world and would end up paying for everything (5).
Germany was not allowed to join as a punishment for starting the
war (1). Many people were afraid Germany would cause more
trouble and thought Germany should be kept weak and not
treated as equal (2).
6. “THE MOST IMPORTANT REASON WHY THE
LEAGUE WAS WEAK IN THE 1920’S WAS ITS
LACK OF AN ARMY”. DO YOU AGREE WITH
THIS STATEMENT? EXPLAIN YOUR
ANSWER.
(10 MARKS, 15 MINUTES)
7. SHORT INTRODUCTION.
There were several reasons why the LON was weak in the 1920’s.
The lack of an army was surely one of them, but others include the
fact that the USA was not a member, the way the LON was
organised, and the fact that the main countries in the LON were
not ready to stand up to powerful countries.
8. NO, THREE REASONS EXPLAINED WELL.
1. USA was not a member.
This meant that the League lost a lot of its authority (explain in
depth).
2. The way the LON was organised.
The League was very slow to act because its decision had to be
unanimous and this took a long time to achieve and often ended in a
compromise being reached (explain in depth).
3. The main countries in the LON were not ready to stand up to
powerful countries.
Most member countries were more concerned about their own-self
interest than about international justice. An example of this was in
1923 when France invaded the Ruhr because Germany was getting
behind with reparation payments. This invasion was illegal but the
League did nothing about it because France was one of its leading
members (explain in depth).
9. YES, TWO REASONS EXPLAINED WELL.
1. The League was able to summon armies of the member states, if needed
(explain in depth).
It is important to remember that the LON was able to put together an army to
back up its decisions if economic sanctions did not work. The League never come
close to putting together an army, and this was because of the lack of will of
countries like France and Britain to use force to sort out problems. They were
afraid of starting another war and still remembered how difficult and horrible
the World War 1 had been. This explains why the LON failed to stand up to a
powerful country like Italy in the crisis over Corfu (explain).
2. If the League had an army, it probably would not have used it (explain in
depth).
In other crises, like Aaland Islands, the LON did set up a Commission and solve
the dispute. It can be argued that this was only between Finland and Sweden,
two weak countries. So, even if the League had an army, it probably would not
have used it.
10. EVALUATION (always end up with an evaluation/conclusion).
In conclusion, the League’s lack of an army was not as important
as its lack of will and the self-interest of its members. While these
existed, an army would not be much use.
