Tips
- Use key historical timelines to eliminate options: the Weimar Republic ended in the early 1930s; World War II ended in 1945; the postwar division of Germany spans the late 1940s to 1990. Look for answers that align precisely with the Nazi era and avoid ranges that extend into the postwar period or start too early.
