<li>Difference between British rule in India and Africa —> the British used Africans as sources of over-seas labor OR higher proportion of christianity in africa</li>
</ol>
<p>The British used Indians in overseas labor as well - in fact, far more than Africans. In colonies like Hong Kong, Indians formed a significant portion of the government police force. So higher proportion of Christianity is correct.</p>

<li><p>Biggest sugar supplier by 1600 —> Brazil (2 votes)
I highly doubt this. Brazil did not even exist as a colony in 1600. Only small parts of the modern-day Brazil was colonized in the 16th century, and most of it wasn’t used to produce sugar. I believe it should be Spain.</p></li>
<li><p>British acts that promoted Indian independence except… subsidizing textiles industry, or Indians in the bureaucracy, (the british definitely built railways)
Subsidizing textiles industry does not seem to have any relevancy to Indian independence.</p></li>
<li><p>jainism - reverence for life
The question asked what made Jainism unique. Reverence for life is a common ideal shared between many religions. I’m not sure about the answer to this one.</p></li>
<li><p>chinese had to - open five ports
I believe the question asked what the Chinese did not have to do. That would be leasing the entire Hong Kong region for 99 years - in fact, China leased only the New Territories region for 99 years. The Kowloon and Hong Kong Island regions were ceded to the United Kingdom.</p></li>
<li><p>allies won b/c stronger industry
This was not a crucial reason. Resistance movements within Europe, especially in the Balkans, had much more to do with the Allies’ military victory. </p></li>
<li><p>asia and Africa were not satisfied with treaty of Versailles because it didn’t prevent future arm build-ups
That’s not the reason that people of Asia and Africa specifically opposed the Treaty of Versailles. European countries would have been dissatisfied if they had known that the Treaty did not prevent arm build-ups.
These peoples were dissatisfied because the ideal of nation self-determination appeared to have been an exclusively European privilege. Countries like China fought for the Allies and yet failed to retrieve some of their lands formerly ceded to Germany. Countries in Africa had hoped that they would be rewarded with independence for their assistance but were disappointed. </p>

<li>second question after Egypt comparison passage – women were generally the equals of men in Egypt???
The passage looked at Egyptian customs from a Greek perspective. Since the author noted surprise at some of the customs, we can logically conclude that the Greek had different customs in these areas. Thus the answer is that men had to support their families, etc.</li>

<p>Solami:
Straits of Malacca. Indonesia was pretty much the only Southeast Asian country that Muslim traders had success with - as can be observed by the fact that it’s the only Muslim-majority country in this region.</p>
<p>Well, my Kaplan book puts the most significant aspect of Jainism as “sanctity of all life”, and the single most important reason why the Allies won WWII as its industrial capacity. </p>
<p>In any case I don’t think the question asked what made Jainism unique, just what it emphasized. Can’t remember the exact wording.</p>
<p>Those were the ones I answered, anyway.</p>
<p>Oh, and the answer to who the leader of the first independent African nation was is Nkrumah, who lead Ghana to independence.</p>
<p>^i put Malacca because it sounded the closest. Prior to the arrival of the first Sultan, Malacca was a simple fishing village inhabited by local Malays. Malacca was founded by Parameswara, a Srivijayan prince of Palembang who fled Sumatra following a Majapahit attack in 1377. He found his way to Malacca c. 1400 where he found a good port accessible in all seasons and on the strategically located narrowest point of the Malacca Straits.[1]</p>

</ol>
<p>Well 10+ mistakes is a whole lot in a list of 79. Just took some time to mention that the list far from indisputable and largely based on people’s opinions.</p>
<p>^they aren’t mistakes. theres just a fair amount of evidence from Books and sources that go each way. Theres always debateable questions in history. The first few pages says of Barrons AP explains this. What was the cause of WW2? While there are many factors, “the assassination of Duke Ferdinand could be stated as the main cause.” something like that.</p>
<p>A couple questions that I don’t think we’ve agreed upon yet guys:</p>
<p>1 - British acts that promoted Indian independence except… subsidizing textiles industry, or Indians in the bureaucracy, or constructing railway?</p>
<p>2 - rule of saint benedict is… a guide for monastic living? or a guide for monks? i think those two were separate choices but couldn’t choose between the two as they were really really similar. does anyone remember the exact choices? and which one was it?</p>
<p>3 - Japan was resented by the West during the 1950s onwards due to… succeeding by copying Western economic models or restricting Western imports? (did it restrict imports? with big names like Sony, Toyota, Honda, etc. i can’t see how Japan would be closed off to intl trade)</p>
<p>4 - Confucius passage says that… leaders must be polite in issuing orders in order to be respected? or that leaders must follow the same code of conduct as their servants? I know Confucianism instructs leaders to be benevolent. Hence, politely issuing orders makes sense. But were leaders supposed to have the same standards as their servants? To the contrary, didn’t Confucianism push for a hierarchical society modeled after Father, son, authority and subordinates?</p>
<p>I don’t know about #1 and #3, and I honestly don’t remember there being such similar choices for #2, but #4 is that leaders must follow the same code in order to be respected; iirc this question had a passage with it and I think you could infer that from the passage. Also learning about Confucianism for years in chinese school helps, but…</p>
