Source C: Written by an historian in 1977.
'The era of Stresemann was the high point of the Weimar Republic. Tempers dropped, political extremism fell away. In large part this was due to the return of prosperity. Wages doubled and the standard of living was higher in 1928 than in 1913. Unemployment was generally below one million.
Source D: Written by an historian in 1991.
'Underlying economic problems remained and the political stability of Weimar's 'golden years' rested on shaky foundations. Under the surface there were many cracks that Stresemann had merely covered over.'
Study Sources C and D. How far does Source D prove that Source C is wrong? Use the sources and your knowledge to explain your answer. (6)
L1 (1) - unsupported ideas or fails to compare the sources or undeveloped use of provenance
L2 (2) - ignores Source D and uses context to show how Source C is right/wrong
L3 (3-4) - compares the two sources and explains how D does show C is wrong
L4 (5-6) - compares the sources and explains that they can be reconciled or compares the sources and uses contextual knowledge to explain how one source is right/wrong
