December 2012 - World History

<p>One other quick question - there were a bunch of groups mentioned “Greeks” “Mongols” “Huns” “Persians” and some Indian ethnic groups and the question was where did all these groups inhabit… India? Greece? Rome?</p>

<p>OK. I’m kind of unsure about that question with the societies pre-500 AD. I was thinking it was the one that they would have more knowledge. Is that even an option? Or am I just thinking of the one with “recorded history”. Let me know, and I can decide properly. </p>

<p>I don’t know about the Tanzimat reforms one. Are you 100% sure it was religious divisiveness? I looked on Wikipedia, and they said that BEFORE the Tanzimat reforms, the non-Muslims were really discriminated against, but the Tanzimat reforms gave them, basically, equality. So I kind of think that choice is wrong.</p>

<p>I think the American colonial possessions one was Pacific Basin. That’s what I put. What was the exact date again? It all depends on the date:

[List</a> of U.S. colonial possessions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._colonial_possessions]List”>Territories of the United States - Wikipedia)</p>

<p>I omitted the one with the nomadic invaders. Absolutely no clue.</p>

<p>What was the question on unification of Germany, again?</p>

<p>I said India for that one.</p>

<p>@jimjim1717: Right before World War II, I believe was the date. (might’ve been WWI, don’t remember). I think it very well might’ve been South America, even though I’m pretty sure just about everybody was thinking Pacific basin.</p>

<p>@Rob1995: How could it have been in South America? According to the link that jimjim17 gave, there was only one country in South America (Columbia).</p>

<p>Which Chinese philosophy encouraged introspection?</p>

<p>German unification - All of the following were a result of the German unification of 1871 except?</p>

<p>Also did anybody else put India for the one about Greeks, Mongols, Huns and Indian ethnic groups? (see ? above)</p>

<p>@JacksonB15135: I was looking at Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama as well but you are probably right.</p>

<p>Chinese philosophy that encourages introspection is Taoism.</p>

<p>Also yeah, I put India.</p>

<p>@Rob1995: Yeah, I thought that for a second too, but Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama are all technically “Central America.”</p>

<p>German unification question?</p>

<p>Yea. I looked on wikipedia tho. I believe it’s pacific basin. If you look at the south american places, we owned like plots of land, not colonies.</p>

<p>You sure it’s south america?</p>

<p>I said Daoism
French third republic</p>

<p>What did you guys get for the Boris Yeltsin one? I had no clu. I’m still unsure.</p>

<p>Also, did gandhi hate all forms of industrialization?</p>

<p>I thought the spinning wheel was a symbol of nonviolence…</p>

<p>A spinning wheel can make cotton into cloth, it’s a symbol of how you don’t need factories: this was his opinion:

<p>Why did Britain beat France in the race for India?</p>

<p>Britain was better at navy than france or Munghals liked Britain more and signed treaties with them</p>

<p>I said better navy… britain has always had a strong navy</p>

<p>Can you remember any more questions? I have 82</p>

<p>Did we ever figure out the question relating to Portugal and West Africa</p>

<p>@Jackson, can you post your list or PM me? I really would appreciate it. With regards to Portugal/West africa, I said the West Africans were eager to trade. You?</p>

<p>Mongols never invaded india. What were the other answers? </p>

<p>I thought the language before 500 question was too ambiguous. Anyone have a definite answer? </p>

<p>Also would love to hear about ghandis wheel</p>

<p>I thought this test was much much harder than the collegeboard practices. I unrstand its easier than barrons or hatever but still a lot harder from previous collegeboard tests. I wouldnt be surprised if there was a really nice curve on this one… Ive seen some wrong answers even on this post and that shows u that the test was pretty hard lol</p>

<p>I said eagr to trade was right. Another reeally tough question without a clear answer. Thank goodness for the curve.</p>

<p>Anyone know the last natives to come over question?</p>
