Content

  • Germany 1890-1945: Democracy and Dictatorship

    This is block 3 in the AQA GCSE History course.

    GCSE History is an engaging and challenging subject that is both interesting and useful for building skills such as: analysis, evaluation and written communication.

    This block we will conclude our first topic: Germany 1890-1945: Democracy and Dictatorship. We will study the combination of terror and propaganda that was used to uphold a fascist dictatorship in Germany from 1933 until 1945. We will then consider the forms of opposition to the system in Nazi Germany, from the subtle to the outright, concluding our study with some exam skills focus. During the final three lessons of this block, we will introduce the second topic in our GCSE History course: Conflict and Tension between East and West 1945-1972. This topic focuses on the Cold War between the USA and USSR, and we will introduce the course by considering how the Cold War was born out of the Second World War. We will examine the differing political ideologies of the USA and USSR, and the initial events in 1945 which created a sense of competition and conflict between the superpowers. We will focus primarily on the wartime conferences and the USA's use of the atomic bomb in August 1945.

  • Course Objectives:

    To explain how the opposing tactics of terror and propaganda were used in Nazi Germany to crush opposition and freedom.

GCSE History Tutor

Hello, I am Lily, the GCSE History teacher in the hub. I studied History at York University and my PGCE at Sussex, where I taught for 5 years full time in secondary schools. I have worked in three schools and taught History at KS3, GCSE and A-level. I have also mentored trainee and NQT teachers, and been awarded Specialist Leader of Education status for my work in primary History curriculums. Since relocating to North Yorkshire in 2020, and having my daughter, I have left the mainstream school setting and now teach online. As well as the History GCSE in the hub, I tutor GCSE and A-level History students. I am really passionate about making History a creative and rigorous discipline, full of debate and discussion. Students who study History at GCSE level and beyond should leave with a vast array of skills in handling sources and interpretations; analysing and evaluating opinions and texts; and crafting arguments. I aim to build students’ confidence and love for the subject by focusing on the human experience of the past, and also the many parallels and contrasts with the present. I thoroughly enjoy teaching the GCSE History groups in the hub and feel lucky to be part of such a positive educational space.

“....The Enterprising minds course has helped her to be able to do a business plan and her accounts. I/ we just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to all in the hub. When we started HE 2 years ago we were thrown in it and wasn't sure that we would manage it. But the help all the Teachers have provided via the hub has really made this unfamiliar journey not only bearable, but enjoyable. ”
