So far you're on track, you have a thesis (i.e. your opinion) and some reasons, however, I dont think those reasons are strong enough. Focus more on the rise of Nazism and maybe the ToV or another factor.

Here's how I would set it out:

Intro: The GD was somewhat responsible for the collapse of Weimar.
Para One: Reasons why the GD caused the collapse of Weimar.
Para Two: Reasons why the Rise of Nazism caused the collapse of Weimar.
Para Three: Reasons why the ToV/another factor caused the collapse of Weimar.
Conclusion

For more detailed stuff on how to write the essay, check out my essay guide (a link is in my sig). Also keep in mind, that when discussing other factors, you have to directly indicate that they played a role in addition to the GD.

You would definitely need more body points than that.

Obviously, you would need to elaborate further on each of those points in the response - there is enough there for 1,000 words.
