Hey. I think for your evaluation, you should simply examine the factors in the collapse of the Weimar Republic, and then the relation of these factors to the Great Depression.. For instance, the Great Depression resulted in increasing political and economic social instability, and was a direct cause of a shift towards political extremism. (NSDAP, KDP etc: )..
However, longer-term factors were also apparent in this collapse, some even rooted in the Weimar Constitution itself. As such, while the Great Depression was certainly a major contributory factor in the end of Weimar, it was not exclusively so.
Good luck with your assessment.
