21 in Germany Example Answers Part (c), 8 marks Candidate A The first reason that Hitler was able to establish a dictatorship in the years was the Reichstag Fire of February This was because the fire enabled Hitler to remove possible his greatest rivals, the Communist Party. The arrest of van der Lubbe, a Communist, near the fire, gave the Nazis the excuse to blame the Communists and suggest that they were planning a takeover. Hitler persuaded Hindenburg to sign the Decree for the Protection of People and State which suspended civil rights and allowed the Nazis to imprison large number of political opponents, especially communists. Communist news papers were also banned. A second reason that Hitler was able to establish a dictatorship was the Enabling Act. This was passed in March 1933 and gave Hitler and his government the power for the next four years to pass any laws without the Reichstag in other words the powers of a dictator. He was able to use these powers to introduce, in July 1933, the Law against the Formation of Parties, which made the Nazi Party the sole political party in Germany. All other parties were banned. 21

25 in Germany and the Cold War Example answer Part (d), 10 marks Candidate A Source A says that the Weimar Republic had to sign the Treaty of Versailles. The new Republic also faced opposition from the left and the right. After the French occupation of the Ruhr, there was hyperinflation. Candidate B One of the problems of the Weimar Republic was the Treaty of Versailles. This was signed by the Republic and was hated by many Germans because it was very harsh on Germany. The Weimar Republic was also unpopular with both the left and right. The Spartacists tried to overthrow the Republic but were defeated by the army and their leaders shot. The Kapp Putsch failed because of a general strike. In 1923 the French occupied the Ruhr and this was followed by hyperinflation which meant that the mark lost all value. Many people were ruined. 25

26 in Germany and the Cold War Example answer Part (d), 10 marks Candidate C The first problem faced by the Weimar Republic, as mentioned in the Source, was the Treaty of Versailles. This was because it was extremely unpopular with many Germans who disliked the very harsh terms as well as the fact that it was a diktat. Germany had to accept humiliating military terms such as a small army of 100,000 as well as the loss of territory such as the Polish Corridor which spilt East Prussia from Germany. The Treaty of Versailles is linked to another problem mentioned in the Source, the French occupation of the Ruhr and hyperinflation. The Treaty forced Germany to make massive reparation payments fixed at 6,600 million. When the Weimar Republic defaulted on these payments, French troops occupied the Ruhr in January 1923, as it says in the source. This was to get payment in kind from industries of this area. However, this occupation worsened Germany s financial state and led to, as it says in the source, even worse hyperinflation. By November 1923 the mark was worthless. Those people with fixed incomes and savings found themselves penniless and were quick to blame the Weimar Republic for their problems. Overall, the Weimar Republic faced a number of serious problems in the years The first of these was the Treaty of Versailles which forced Germany to pay reparations, in turn led to the French occupation 26 of the Ruhr and hyperinflation.
