December 2007 World History

<p>I wasn't sure on the Portugal one, but I personally put because the Ottoman's constricted trade, which I felt was true because the sudden shift to the Age of Exploration occured after Byzantine's fall in 1453 and coinciding with the full domination of the Ottoman's, so I reasoned that the Ottoman's then prevented the Europeans from continuing to trade w/ Asia and thus that's why the explorers sought the sea routes (and found America and etc.)</p>

<p>yeah. it was ottomans restricting land routes.</p>

<p>What did you guys put for the Japanese 20th century resentment problem?</p>

<p>Saint Paul & Saint Benedict..what did they each do?</p>

<p>I said Saint Benedict instituted a orderly code of conduct for Monks (he was called the "Rule Giver") and that Saint Paul spread Christianity beyond the Jewish People.</p>

<p>As for Japan, that is because in the 20th century to help them rebuild, the US allowed Japan to have a favorable balance of trade, which means that they export more than they import, thus creating a stronger economy. The choice on the test was just a shorter version of what I just said.</p>

<p>Saint Paul spread Christianity outside of community
St. Benedict monastary rules</p>

<p>What did everyone put for Treaty of Nanking? I said Hong Kong, althought it seems opening ports is possible.</p>

<p>how about what US (or Allies) not do to Japan after WWII?
choices were like demilitarization of education, removal of emperor, etc..</p>

<p>Removal of Emperor is the correct one.</p>

<p>removal of emperor</p>

<p>I guess that since Japan has an emperor right now (though just a figure) Hirohito must have remained as emperor, though without his previous power.</p>

<p>Who was the first African revolutionary? Kwane Nkrumah?</p>

<p>i put the one with ghana but it might be kwane krumah</p>

<p>hong kong is wrong
hong kong was given to britain after the opium war
treaty of nanjing opened ports</p>

<p>i still say that jesuits caused some ports to open </p>

<p>japanese resentment b/c they didnt trade before but im not sure</p>

<p>i said demiltirization of education
the did force them to demilitarize their armies, but they didnt decrease their education system</p>

<p>That is correct.
Who produces more sugar? Brazil or China?</p>

<p>sugar - brazil
is what i put</p>

<p>the us took away the emperors power, but he is still a figurehead. so i wouldnt say that they removed the emperor</p>

<p>But wasn't China also a major producer of sugar in 1500?&lt;/p>

<p>Wait a second Isn't Kawne Krumah and Ghana related? He's the president of Ghana. So how come there are two choices?</p>

<p>can somebody compile a list of questions?
i think someone was doing it in the beginning...
i have no idea how many we covered any estimate?</p>

<p>kwane nkrumah is related to ghana, it was the same answer, A, I think</p>

<p>About that pyramid graph chart (population) thing, is it high-birth rate and something? D?</p>

<p>I put A. 1st graph- third world, developing country 2nd graph- first world, industralized country. the first graph had a huge birth rate among the younger population which is indicative of present day developing countries, especially in sub-saharan africa</p>
