Click on a video below to watch & listen to a teacher on a specific topic. I suggest you make notes AS you watch it. Revision often becomes better if you repeat what you are doing 2 or 3 times therefore do this with each video.

PAPER 2: USA The Roaring Twenties

PAPER 2: USA - Isolation and Prosperity
(Part 2 - probably will come up on the exam!)

Treaty of Versailles key information

USA: Isolation and The Roaring 20s

mrjportman — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 14:04:47 CDT

VIDEO: Prohibition of Alcohol: This is an excellent video on 'a brief history of prohibition'.
Remember: the banning of alcohol led directly to the mafia (Al Capone etc)
making huge sums of money. As a result of this, they were able to bribe policemen
and judges (corruption). Hardly deserving of the title 'The Roaring twenties'.

VIDEO: Ku Klux Klan: This is an informative video on key aspects of the KKK.
It highlights the fact that it had 4 to 5 million members in the 1920s. The video also includes
clips from a comedy programme that shows a blind black man unaware of his skin colour
and supports 'white power'. The KKK member at the end is the same character.

VIDEO: The Wall St Crash (This is aimed at last year's exam board but the
information is still useful for OCR)

Weimar Germany

mrjportman — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 15:53:29 CST

1. The problems that the Weimar Government faced up to 1923:
Political opposition and attacks from the left and right.

2. The Treaty of Versailles: Another major problem that the new Weimar
Government faced. A look at the treaty and how Germans reacted to it.

4. Hyperinflation: Germany in economic crisis - a look at the crisis and its causes.

5. Germany recovers 1924-1929: Stresemann helped Germany to recover from the
problems of Hyperinflation - click on the power point to find out how.
THIS IS A FAVOURITE OF THE EXAM BOARD!

6. The collapse of the Weimar Government: Ultimately, the problems of the Depression in the
USA was also felt in Germany. This dramatically helped Hitler to get into power!

7. VIDEO: A summary of the Weimar republic: Don't worry about the finer details of this video (created by a pupil from another school) but it does include lots of useful information about the Weimar Republic period (particularly the part about early attacks from different political parties.

8. VIDEO: This shows how far Stresemann solved the problems of the Weimar Republic between 1924-1929. A favourite of the exams - made by JP

9. VIDEO: A summary of the Weimar Republic created by JP - VERY USEFUL

10. VIDEO: Useful facts about Hyperinflation in Germany found on youtube (nice soundtrack too)

Rise of Hitler and Nazi Germany

mrjportman — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 15:11:41 CST

This section is divided into two:

1. The Rise of Hitler

2. Nazi Germany

Section 1: THE RISE OF HITLER

2. Hitler and the Depression: Hitler used the depression to promise to jobs, wealth and to make Germany stromg again. This also includes the different types of Nazi propaganda (speeches, posters etc) and the effect that it had on people's votes.

3. Hitler becomes Fuhrer (Dictator): This shows the steps that Hitler took in order to make him DICTATOR in 1933 (The Reichstag Fire, the Enabling Law - giving Hitler the right to pass any law that he wanted, the banning of Political Parties, and the Night of the Long Knives)

4. VIDEO: The Reichstag Fire : This shows how Hitler needed something that would shock Germany into thinking it was under threat. When the Reichstag caught fire he blamed the Communists and said they wanted to take over the country by force - he persuaded President Hindenburg to pass a law that gave the police to arrest anyone they wanted: Communists were thrown into prison. A FANTASTIC video.

6. VIDEO: How did Hitler become the Chancellor of Germany? A useful video (although the writing is often difficult to read) explaining how Hitler got into power. You may want to ignore the last 30 seconds! PAUSE the video and let it load for a while.

Section 2: NAZI GERMANY

8 VIDEO: The Night of the Broken Glass (Kristallnacht): You only need to watch 2 mins 40 seconds ff this - it describes the few days when the Nazis went on the rampage smashing Jewish shops, burning down synagogues, beating up and murdering Jewish people.

9 The main features of Nazi Germany: This inludes things like the Hitler Youth, the SS, the Gestapo, Nazi education and propaganda.

10 How did Hitler control Germany: This shows how the Nazis controlled Germany by a combination of clever propaganda, organisations such as the SS, education and fear.

11 Did people benefit from Nazi rule?: This shows those that some people clearly benefited from Hitler and the Nazis - whilst others clearly did not. This has appeared in the exam on several occasions.
