Why this is the answer
This question belongs to “Geschichte und Verantwortung” (history and responsibility), the largest block in the catalog. A handful of dates carry most of the questions, so learn these first: 1919 the Weimar Republic, 1933 the Nazi seizure of power, 1945 the end of the war, 1949 the Grundgesetz and the founding of West and East Germany, 1961 the building of the Berlin Wall, 9 November 1989 the Wall falls, 3 October 1990 reunification. Nine dates will carry you through a large part of this block.
How this question fits into the exam
On exam day you answer 33 questions in 60 minutes: 30 from the general catalog of 300 questions — this question is one of them — and 3 about your federal state. You pass with 17 correct answers. Aiming for exactly 17 leaves no margin for nerves, so take timed mock exams until 33 out of 33 feels routine.
