Wednesday & Thursday, November 9 & 10



Good day, history students!

As you come in, please get BOTH textbooks!

Today we are going to find out what Hitler was up to during these exciting years of the Weimar Republic!

Monday & Tuesday we talked about the differences between Ebert's and Stresemann's administrations during the Weimar Republic. Each leader faced opposition, including Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist German Workers' Party.

As we will be studying how Hitler took the Chancellorship in 1933, we need to understand where Hitler came from in the 1920s. How did the Nazi Party gain power by the 1930s? Were they always powerful? Was Hitler always popular?


For your Do Now, please create another timeline. This timeline needs to span 1920-1930. Please label every year between 1920 and 1930. Leave plenty of space so you can fill in events as we talk about them today.


Next, with a partner, please discuss the question, "Who ran the Weimar Republic better, Freidrich Ebert or Gustav Stresemann?" Be sure to explain your answer. We will then discuss as a class.

As usual, we have more vocabulary to discuss today. Learning vocabulary like this helps us understand the important events and agreements that shaped history

Please click here to access the vocabulary from today and the rest of the unit.

We will be looking at a number of different pages in our textbooks today. In the big textbook, we will look at pages 148-151, 242-245, as well as pages 38 and 39 in the skinny textbook.





Through these pages we will investigate the events that carried Germany to follow Hitler in the 1930s. We will plot these events and information about them on our timelines. These timelines will help us understand how events transpired and in what order. This lets us see how things built on each other and peoples ideas and feelings changed over time.

P1M, P2G & P4G HOMEWORK: (1) Imagine you were in Munich as Hitler tried to take over the government. Write three different tweets describing what was happening. (2) Explain why the US stock market crash had such a large effect on the rest of the world.


P2M: (1) Imagine you were in Munich as Hitler tried to take over the government. Write three different tweets describing what was happening. (2) Explain why the US stock market crash had such a large effect on the rest of the world. (3) Knowing what you know now, would you have encouraged Dawes or Young to loan money to Germany? Why or why not?
