And they tell me that in Westminster there is never a physician, and but one apothecary left, all being dead – but that there are great hopes of a great decrease this week. God send it.

WEEK 3 TASK 1 - WESTERN FRONT For each source, use the template to explain how useful it is. The first one is done for you as a model. Source A – Stretcher bearers working on the Western Front, 1916
Useful because it shows: The difficult conditions in which stretcher bearers had to perform their job. I know this is accurate because: The terrain in No Man’s Land was very difficult to move across and there had to be at least 5 stretcher bearers to carry one injured soldier. The terrain was even worse during major battles due to the heavy shelling that was carried out before launching an attack. The provenance makes this more/less useful because: As a photographic source this gives us a direct insight into the challenges facing stretcher bearers on the Western Front.

WEEK 4 GERMANY PRE-LEARNING The final unit of your GCSE History is Weimar and Nazi Germany 1919-1939. You will be studying this in Year 11, but this is a good opportunity to learn some context of the position Germany was in at the end of World War One and how this impacted the country through the 1920s and 1930s. Between 1918-23, there were a series of revolts (putsches) whereby different groups tried to take power in Germany by violent means. These revolts were caused by unhappiness with the way Germany was being ruled following the abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm on 9th Nov. 1918.
TASK 1 Read through the problems facing the new government (Weimar Republic) after the conclusion of World War One. Place the challenges in order of importance, and explain the reason for your decision underneath. 1. November Criminals/stab in the back myth The Armistice was signed by Germany’s Provisional (temporary) government on 11th November 1918. A rumour circulated Germany that the ministers had surrendered even though the army was winning so that they could force the Kaiser from power. Many were angry as Germany had lost 1.7 million men to the war and 750,000 to starvation; people now believed their sacrifices had been pointless. In times of trouble, this rumour became more popular. 2. Weimar Constitution Germany had been an increasingly successful country under the authoritarian rule of the Kaiser. By comparison, there were lots of problems in Germany under the new democratic system meaning people believed the new constitution was to blame. This was the first time Germany had a fully democratic system and proportional voting meant that parties had to share power. This made them appear weak and prevented them from keeping their promises to voters as they had to water down proposals to get other parties to support them in passing new laws. This made them particularly unpopular with conservative elites who disapproved of giving power to the masses as it created a divided government with lots of smaller parties gaining influence in the Reichstag. 3. Treaty of Versailles The terms of the Treaty crippled Germany economically. Germany had to agree to pay the full costs of the war but this amount was only decided 2 years later (in 1921 the reparations bill was set at £6.6 billion). Germany lost 10% of its land and 16% of its

coalfields such as the Saar. This land was particularly valuable and would have helped Germany to make the reparations payments. This led to anger, particularly amongst nationalists who felt that the Treaty was an attack on Germany and had severely damaged their national pride. Furthermore, German citizens were now being ruled over by foreign governments and it seemed that the Weimar government had abandoned its citizens. 4. Communist Threat The conservative elites were worried that Germany would see a communist revolution. Communists had taken control of Russia in 1917 and the influence of communism was spreading to Germany. The conservative elites feared a communist uprising that would strip them of their wealth and property. This seemed highly likely as there was still widespread starvation and the Weimar government appeared weak and unable to solve the economic problems. This led to clashes between opposing groups such as the Freikorps and the workers. Order of importance: Rank

WEEK 6 TASK1 - GERMANY PRE-LEARNING Using the sources, identify what impact each will have had on the German people. The first source is completed for you as a model. Source A – A diagram highlighting the cost of World War One for the major countries involved.
How would this impact Germany? The war, from 1914-1918 had cost Germany more than any other country, having spent $39billion. This would have a huge impact on the people of Germany, as the cost of war will affect jobs and the prices of food at home. This could lead to food shortages, poverty and in some cases, death.
