Of course you didn’t go out, because of:

1. The message’s content

Spaceships? It’s impossible.

2. The message’s provenance

He’s the class joker – it’s a wind-up.

Source BFrom a speech made by a German Deputy in the

Reichstag in 1919

The criminal madness of this peace … is inflicting the deepest wounds on us Germans as our world lies in wreckage about us.

The ‘Evaluation of an interpretation’ question will give you a quotation – like this:

Unit 1 Part 2 Lesson 1

Click to continue

Then it will ask you to evaluate the interpretation, for example:

‘Source B claims that the Treaty of Versailles

inflicted “the deepest wounds” on Germany.

Do you agree that the Treaty ruined Germany?’

Click to continue

Note that – unlike other questions – this question is as much about evaluating the source, as about answering the

specific question in the second sentence.

LOTS of stuff to suggest that the Treaty WAS

really harsh:

Territorial losses; Anschluss forbidden; military

restrictions; Article 231; reparations; diktat.

YET some things suggest that it wasn’t quite

so bad – not the deepEST wounds:

The French didn’t think it was harsh enough;

reparations were less than British war debt. Click to

LOTS of stuff to suggest that he would be really

UNreliable:

Probably biased – all Germans HATED the Treaty and

saw it as unfair/trying to destroy Germany;

Dolchstosslegende.

YET some things suggest he can be trusted:

He was speaking at the time (1919), and reflecting

the opinion of all Germans. British politicians Harold

Nicholson and J.M. Keynes also agreed that the

Treaty was too harsh. Click to continue
