This comprehensive bundle of lessons has been designed to support A Level History students studying AQA GCE Democracy and Nazism: Germany 1918–45.

It provides a detailed exploration of the Weimar Republic during its period of recovery and development (1924–1929), helping students evaluate how far Germany achieved political stability, economic recovery and social change.

Through a series of engaging, fully resourced lessons, students are encouraged to investigate the key enquiry question: “How strong was Germany under the Weimar Republic between 1924 and 1929?”

Students will explore Germany from a range of perspectives, including political developments, economic recovery, social change and cultural transformation.

They will assess the achievements and limitations of the Weimar Republic, considering whether this period represented a genuine “Golden Age” or whether underlying weaknesses remained.

The bundle examines the role of key individuals such as Gustav Stresemann, evaluating his domestic policies, foreign policy of fulfilment and contribution to Germany’s recovery.

Students will also analyse changing attitudes towards women, youth and Jewish communities, developing a deeper understanding of how far German society transformed during the 1920s.
