The booklet features political cartoons and contemporary political commentary exploring international tensions, the Treaty of Versailles, and relations between Germany and Austria during the inter-war period. Source A is a British cartoon from 1933 showing Austrian Chancellor Dollfuss rejecting “Nazi soup” and resisting pressure from Germany. Source B is a British cartoon about the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, depicting Woodrow Wilson, Georges Clemenceau, Great Britain, and Germany negotiating the settlement after the First World War. Source C is adapted from a speech by a leading German politician reacting to the Treaty of Versailles and warning that harsh treatment of Germany would create hatred and instability in Europe.
Students can analyse authentic historical sources discussing appeasement, the Paris Peace Conference, war guilt, German resentment, the Treaty of Versailles, Austrian independence, and tensions that contributed to the outbreak of the Second World War. The booklet is essential for practising GCSE History source utility analysis, provenance evaluation, interpretation of political cartoons, and evidence-based historical judgement.
