Rearmament of Germany was illegal beyond 100,000 soldiers, but Germany was openly defying the agreements of the Treaty of Versailles by what year?

1933
1934
1935
1936

Correct Answer

A. 1935

Explanation

In 1935, Germany openly defied the agreements of the Treaty of Versailles. The Treaty had imposed restrictions on the rearmament of Germany, limiting its army to a maximum of 100,000 soldiers. However, Germany violated these restrictions by openly rearming itself, which was considered illegal. This defiance marked a significant turning point in German history and ultimately led to the escalation of tensions in Europe, contributing to the outbreak of World War II.

The Three 'K's' showed the Nazi's belief in a 'natural' division between genders. This led to women being put out of jobs deemed 'unnatural' for them, and also made fewer women a part of the military during WWII than the Allies.

True
False

Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

During the Nazi regime, the Three 'K's' (Kinder, Küche, Kirche) were promoted as the ideal roles for women: motherhood, kitchen, and church. This reflected the Nazi's belief in a traditional division between genders, where women were expected to focus on their domestic duties rather than pursuing careers or participating in the military. As a result, women were pushed out of jobs that were considered "unnatural" for them and were underrepresented in the military compared to the Allies. Therefore, the statement that the Three 'K's' showed the Nazi's belief in a 'natural' division between genders and led to the exclusion of women from certain roles is true.
