<p>^ we did that question already I think.</p>
<p>are you guys answering out of memory or from a book? because, if youre answering out of memory, kudos!!</p>
<p>^^ i dont think so… </p>
<p>Im doing Han vs Roman (a classic comparison)</p>
<p>Similarities:
-Both had internal problems. In Han= the government became too decentralized. In Roman=power struggle.
-Happened at the same time, together caused the “closing” of the Silk road</p>
<p>Differences:
-Roman:partially survived with the splitting of the empire.
-romans faced outside invasions
-Han had epidemics going on.
-Han had yellow turbine riots. </p>
<p>do you think this is good enough?</p>
<p>Question: Compare and Contrast European Imperialism (specifically in China) to Japanese imperialism.</p>
<p>@ _daniel: Im mostly doing this from memory i did cheat a little :/</p>
<p>Japanese imperialism began when Commodore Perry landed in Japan, which sparked the beginning of Japanese industrialization. Before then, Japan wasn’t in any position to colonize new areas. However, once they got the ball rolling with industrialization, they began to flex their muscles, most notably by defeating China in a war for Taiwan and Korea. In addition, Japan beat Russia out of Manchuria, and established a foothold there, which would allow them to take over China later on in WWII. </p>
<p>Europe on the other hand, was already well established as imperial powers. They were the big bullies on the global playground, and forced China to buy opium from their newly acquired source in India. This caused many Chinese people to become addicted to the substance, resulting in an increased, albeit unwanted demand for opium. China tried to fight back in what became known as the Opium Wars (there were two of them), which failed miserably. This however, established a sphere of European influence in China, and opened it up to more trade from Europe.</p>
<p>That’s about the best I can come up with. Needed a lot of help from Princeton Review for this one, lol. </p>
<p>CURRENT QUESTION: Give a brief summary of the 4 major revolutions in European thought and expression starting around 1450 through the 1750s.</p>
<p>What were migratory patterns like throughout world history? what were some recurring factors as to why people migrated to and from certain areas?</p>
<p>I’ll take a stab at this from memory</p>
<p>So the overall theory is that people originated out of africa(out of afirca thesis). The began to diffuse across the Eurasian continent from west to east and some even crossed the fleeting strait of bering(orgibraltar cant remember) to settle in the Americas. The main things that influenced migration out of Africa was availability of food. Once populations started to grow the arid landscape in most regions of AFrica coulnd’t support the life so people began to migrate. this is a recurring theme throughout history wherein lack of resources contributes to migrations. (Partially reasons behind colonies also). Um… wow I have no lcue about this stuff i hate these questions and also trade qeustions haha</p>
<p>This is not an FRQ question or anything, but I don’t get this French Revolution buisness at all. Can someone please sum it up a little for me better than PR and Barrons can? That would be killer thanks.</p>
<p>sure, im in world history class right now actually.</p>
<p>background/cause: french economy was in utter trash, lots of war and economic and luxury debt, peasants were mad due to hard advice. King louis (XIV i think) convened the Parliament (made of three estates, first-nobles, second-clergy, and third-peasants) to get some funds/advice. the first two estates made the third estate ineligible to convene with them. the third estate, along with peasants, gets angry and creates National Assembly. </p>
<p>French revolution itself: national assembly storms prisons, creates anarchy. this was in 1791, and creates constitutional monarchy. declaration of rights of man was also made during this time. 1793/94, austria and prussia attack french due to fright of internal rebellions in their own nation, possibly uprising from the success of the french revolution. they create the Committe of Public Safety then in 1795, making another “revolution” to create a republic in this state. Committeee of Public Safety leads to Reign of Terror, kills many. Eventually couple of years later, 1797?, another “revolution” takes place and leads to 5-board-government called Directory. </p>
<p>After: Napoleon takes over, loses eventually, France, by decree of Congress of Vienna in 1815, was made into a constitutional monarchy. however, a revolution in 1848 later creates a republic in France. Also that very same revolution sparks an end to conservatism revoltuion in many other states (Austria, Prussia, Italy, etc). </p>
<p>Question: Effect of Mongol rule in Russia, China, and India.</p>
<p>Pople migration is going to be the topic is FRQ. There is lot of migation in pakistan, SriLanka recently. The emphasis may go there. Let’s look at some of the huse migration in the ancient times. Bantu,Hilter era migration comes to my mind. Whatelse? Who drove who for what reason?</p>
<p>Mongol/Russia:
The mongol rule in Russia was devastating. It first of all keep Russia from the rest of Europe and thus made it lag behind them. Russia had no connections to the rest of Europe for two reasons. Firstly, because of the Mongol rule. And secondly, because the Russians practiced Russian Orthodoxy, whereas the rest of Europe was either catholic/protestant–which were much more similar to each other than they were to orthodoxy. </p>
<p>Mongol/China:
The mongols formed the Yuan Dynasty in China. This did not effect China nearly as much as the Mongol rule over Russia. In fact, because the Mongols did not have many skilled writers, and bureaucrats, they relied heavily on the Chinese to work in the government. Also, since there was no mixing between the Mongol and Chinese people, the Chinese culture remained very strong. In fact, the mongols of the Yuan Dynasty, lead by Kublai Khan, took up and embraced the Chinese culture. </p>
<p>Mongol/India:
The mongols didn’t really last that long in India and did not have as much of an effect on India as it did in China and Russia. Timurlane was the mongol ruler who succeeded in destroying the city of Delhi in India, which was under the Delhi Sultanate. However, soon the city recovered and any remains of the Mongol invasion were not to be found.</p>
<p>thanks a bunch gatorfan! that just cleared up a lot for me.
this question goes a bit back to atarah’s question, which asked for the 4 major european revolutions in thought. im not even sure what those four are! </p>
<p>im thinking enlightenment, renaissance, & scientific and glorius revolutions?</p>
<p>^ glorious revolution is not a thought revolution. It was a bloodless overthrow of Charles II off of the England throne. At least i think it was Charles II…</p>
<p>Maybe we should focus mainly on that so we can be prepared</p>
<p>Popular essay topics for the compare and contrast?</p>
<p>I meant focus on migration</p>
<ol>
<li>Compare French, Haitian, and Mexican revolutions (18th/19th c.)</li>
<li>Compare the early phases of the Industrial revolution in Europe and in Japan</li>
<li>Compare nationalism in China and Japan</li>
