damage to which the Allied governments and their people have been subjected as a consequence of the war imposed upon them by the aggression of Germany and her allies. (a) (b) In what ways did the Treaty of Versailles weaken the German economy? [5 ] Why did Germany dislike the Treaty of Versailles? [7 ]

Explain your answer. 8 (a) What were Germanys main territorial losses under the Treaty of Versailles? (b) Why was Germany dissatisfied with the peace treaty? (a) In what ways did the Treaty of Versailles weaken the German economy? Level 1 General answer 1-2 e.g. 'The financial impact was high.' 'They lost important land.' 'Unemployment rose.' 'They could not meet repayments.' Level 2 Describes ways 2-5 e.g. 'Germany had to accept full blame for starting the wars and had to pay reparations of 6600 million.' 'A reduction in the numbers in the armed forces increased unemployment.' 'The Saar and Upper Silesia were lost. These were important industrial areas.' (b) Why did Germany dislike the Treaty of Versailles? Level 1 General answer/describes terms of Treaty 1 e.g. 'It was unfair/harsh. Level 2 Identifies why 2-4 e.g. 'It was a diktat.' 'It ignored the 14 points.' 'It reduced the armed forces.' 'It would stop them recovering.'

'They were humiliated.' Level 3 Explains why 4-7 e.g. 'They were not allowed to attend the Paris peace conference. The terms were presented to Germany without negotiation.' 'They had been forced to accept the responsibility for the war and the damage caused and therefore had to pay reparations.' 'The amount of reparations was extremely high and this led to hyperinflation.' 'It reduced the armed forces whilst others did not, thus reducing its symbol of pride.' 'It lost territory. Its colonies and the Saar and Upper Silesia were important to the German economy. This was humiliating.' 'Under the 14 points other countries were granted self-determination but Anschluss with Austria was forbidden and in Czechoslovakia Germans were ruled by non-Germans.' (c) To what extent was the Treaty of Versailles a sensible treaty in the circumstances of the time? Explain your answer. Level 1 Unsupported assertions 1 e.g. 'It was because it ensured fighting ended.' Level 2 Identifies why 2-3 e.g. 'It was dealing with complex problems.' 'There was demand for revenge.' 'A less harsh treaty would not have satisfied public opinion.' 'It did not meet the thoughts of the Big three leaders.' 'Germany had to pay 6600m.' (Identifies clauses) Level 3 Explains why it was sensible OR not 3-5 e.g. 'Germany had to pay reparations for all the damage caused.' 'It returned land (Alsace-Lorraine) that Germany had captured in earlier times.' 'It could not have been sensible as it was imposed - a diktat.' 'Germany had already agreed to many of the terms in the armistice.' With hindsight the Treaty helped to create the Nazi regime in Germany.' Level 4 Explains why it might AND might not be sensible at the time 5-7 e.g. 'The war had been very severe. The victors were determined that the terms were so severe that there was no chance of hostilities breaking out again.' 'The agreed armistice terms impacted on the peace treaty. Germany had accepted the principle of reparations, the loss of Alsace-Lorraine and the army leave the left bank of the Rhine. It should therefore not have been a surprise when they appeared in the final peace treaty.' 'All the politicians at the peace conference were under pressure to meet the expectations of public opinion not make the peace treaty they wanted and there had to be compromise.' 'It was a view that if Germany had won they would have enforced a more severe treaty as they had done against Russia in March 1918.' 'It set up a body, the League of Nations to deal with any unresolved

issues.' 'Each of the big three thought that it might have been different. There was a fear that the harshness might result in further war (Britain) whilst France thought it should have been more severe to punish Germany for earlier events.'

(a) What was the Hoare-Laval Pact? (b) Why was the conquest of Abyssinia by Italy not prevented by the League of Nations? (c) To what extent can the outbreak of war in 1939 be blamed upon the failure of the League of Nations? Explain your answer. (a) How did the League of Nations hope to prevent future wars between nations? Level 1 General answer 1-2 e.g. By dealing with the problem. Apply sanctions. By co-operation. By ending trade and financial relations. (Source) Level 2 Describes ways 2-5 e.g. By giving all members equal voting rights. By maintaining the peace settlement. By getting the quarrelling members to talk about their problems. By condemning an aggressor so they felt guilty and backed down. Imposing economic sanctions. Through the use of collective security. Through the encouragement of nations to disarm. (b) Why did the League of Nations fail to restrict the aggression of Japan in

the 1930s? Level 1 General answer 1 e.g. It did not have the strength. It was not prepared to take action. Level 2 Identifies why 2-4 e.g. Japan ignored the League. It was too far away. The investigation took too long. Unwilling to impose economic or military sanctions. (2 marks) Level 3 Explains why 4-7 e.g. Japan was a powerful nation and was determined to ignore the League. The League was powerless. Asia was a long way away and not seen as vital to the countries in Europe. It was thought that Japan had legitimate economic interests in Manchuria. China was weak and some members of the League welcomed the imposition of order. It instigated an investigation (Lytton) which took over a year to complete by which time the invasion was complete. Japan refused to hand back Manchuria and left the League. Members were unwilling to impose economic sanctions as the Depression was already damaging world trade. The Powers were unwilling to impose military action for fear of Japanese attacks on Far East colonies. (c) How far was the League of Nations a failure? Explain your answer. Level 1 Unsupported assertions 1 e.g. It was not a failure in the 1920s. It was a failure because it was weak. Level 2 Identifies impact 2-3 e.g. It failed because it did nothing about Manchuria or Abyssinia. It was a failure because the Second World War started. It was a failure because it failed to get disarmament. It failed because they had to introduce other treaties and pacts. It had success in 1920/1 over minor disputes. It was affected by the Great Depression. It was successful in getting refugees back home, improving working conditions and health. Level 3 Explains failure OR success 3-6 Level 4 Explains failure AND success 5-7 Candidates may well use specific incidents to explain failure (or success). These should be credited. e.g. The League was a failure over Abyssinia as it failed to imposed appropriate meaningful sanctions, such as oil, and thus allowed Italian aggression. It was a failure because it was not powerful enough as America was not a member. This made economic sanctions ineffective in for

example Abyssinia. Countries such as Britain and France were reluctant to act unless their own interests were threatened as in Manchuria. The impact of the Depression was great and encouraged countries to look after themselves such as Germany and the growth of the Nazis. The league was a failure as it allowed countries such as Germany to rearm and this resulted in the Second World War. The League failed in the 1920s to bring about disarmament with the Washington Conference being as close as it came. Its work had to be assisted by the Locarno Treaties which resolved left over problems from the war and the Kellogg-Briand Pact that encouraged the settlement of disputes by peaceful means. The successes of the League came in the 1920s when it dealt successfully with minor disputes over the Aaland Islands and in Upper Silesia. The League successfully dealt with refugees in Turkey and work to defeat leprosy. It freed large numbers of slaves in Sierra Leone. Level 5 Explains and evaluates how far 8 Describe how peace treaties affected France (b) Explain why some countries viewed setting up the LoN with suspicion (c) Did the structural weaknesses of the League cause its failure ?

This was on 30th January 1933 On 27th February the Reichstag was set on fire. Lubbe was arrested and found guilty. Hitler used this as evidence of a communist plot. On the night of the fire 4000 leading communists were arrested and imprisoned and used the fire to intensify anti-communist hysteria.
