<p>@HvePassion yeah, that’s true, but my argument was that the Islam faith itself promoted trade more than Christianity did. I’ll look at your pst in a sec, it’s hard to do this stuff on iPad.</p>
<p>@vmiller7723 that sounds logical but like you I’m not sure if it’s correct.</p>
<p>I’m not sure at all about your difference. But as for the similarity, I thought that the Islamic caliphates were generally tolerant of Jews and Christians because they were “people of the book”. However they had to pay the jizya tax, as did all non Muslims.</p>
<p>@Batman9 Yeah, they were generally tolerant to a degree especially in the Iberian peninsula and all, but they still persecuted Jews and Christians in the Levant area and had taxes/sufis to convert people. </p>
<p>@HvePassion yeah, then that sounds right.</p>
<p>@hvepassion @batman9 do you guys remember any multiple choice that were difficult? I remember one that asked about tracking the extent of the Russian empire that was difficult. </p>
<p>@vmiller7723 pretty sure the answer was something about peasants</p>
<p>There was one with the Japanese parliament…wasn’t sure if it was industrialization or copying western political model</p>
<p>The Russian empire one was something about new lands I think (rainfall in new lands?)</p>
<p>@vmiller7723 I don’t think the Edict of Milan would have worked. It was passed in 313 and the Byzantine Empire didn’t show up until 330. Unless they also count the Eastern Roman Empire as the Byzantine Empire, then I missed a metric buttload of evidence points on that time period. </p>
<p>^Lol the Edict of Milan played a huge part in the role of religion in the Byzantine Empire. It started the entire Christianity thing. I’m pretty sure the Eastern Empire would’ve count </p>
<p>@HvePassion westernization for the Japanese one</p>
<p>But the Eastern Roman Empire isn’t the same thing as the Byzantine Empire. They were still pagan until like 380. I guess my teacher must have been really strict, because the only time we were allowed to mention anything in Rome impacted the Byzantine Empire directly was when they were in control of Rome. </p>
<p>@burgerman1 I get your point but it makes sense to mention the Edict of Milan even though the Byzantine Empire wasnt technically in place yet because if it weren’t for the Edict of Milan Christianity would not have been allowed in the area which would later become Byzantium.</p>
<p>How did everyone do? </p>
<p>@vmiller7723 I got the 4 I hoped for!</p>
<p>5! :)</p>
<p>I got a 5! So happy</p>
<p>It somewhat balances out my not-very-good SAT World History score (700)…</p>
<p>@HvePassion are you my doppelganger?! I got a 5 on AP but also a 700 on SAT! Im thinking about retaking tho</p>
<p>@Vmiller7723 Woah! That’s pretty rad. I have no idea how I scored so poorly though 
I’m a rising senior, so I can’t even retake in time for early decisions! Are you a rising junior?</p>
