June 2009 - World History

<p>no
and i’m not getting an 800 :(</p>

<p>As for the Sheba question Wikipedia states:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>The location of the historical kingdom may have included part or all of modern day Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Yemen.</p></li>
<li><p>“The tradition that the Biblical Queen of Sheba was a ruler of Ethiopia who visited King Solomon in Jerusalem, in ancient Israel, is supported by the first century C.E. Roman (of Jewish origin) historian Flavius Josephus, who identified Solomon’s visitor as a “Queen of Egypt and Ethiopia”.”</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Who’s right, Wikipedia or Josephus?</p>

<p>Well my best raw score could be…80…im guessing i got somewhere from 68-82 (big ranges are better) BUT ***–i hate getting my hopes up. so im stoipping</p>

<p>Yes…abotu the blocs…that was the asnwer! Germany was an area of like polticial struggle (or something) cuz different powers had blocs there.</p>

<p>Power blocs… something about East & West Germany? Or maybe how the two sides were different? I’m sorry, I don’t remember the question. But for my answer, I put the one with the power blocs. xD</p>

<p>^^^^ill get my textbook. Egypt, Ethopia, and Yemen were all answers i believe</p>

<p>was there a question asking primary motivation for chinese voyages?</p>

<p>I don’t think ethiopia was an answer choice. If it was, I would have put it down. I thought Sheba would be in africa, but the answer choices were all middle eastern countries</p>

<p>YES CHOC!!!</p>

<p>nice…i remember one answer had to do with india…i dont think i put that…what weer some other choices</p>

<p>Did anyone else feel a little pressed for time? I wanted to go back and look over/answer some questions, but I ran out of time. =( Maybe I was just being slow. xD
There were a couple of questions I missed because I was semi-rushing and not reading carefully enough. Oh well. I guess there’s always a couple “stupid mistakes.”</p>

<p>^ I ran out of time for checking too</p>

<p>i dunno, was chinese voyages motivation a question? (or was that the AP test)? I really don’t know
if it was a question, I don’t even remember what I put</p>

<p>hey, idk if this helps but
i think there was a question on who had colonies in southeast asia- france??</p>

<p>No, you are definitely right.</p>

<p>One said to conquest India…I don’t think that’s it.</p>

<p>I really can’t remember what I put or other choices.
Help—please!</p>

<p>Between 1405 and 1433, the Ming government sponsored a series of seven naval expeditions. Emperor Yongle designed them to establish a Chinese presence, impose imperial control over trade, and impress foreign peoples in the Indian Ocean basin. He also might have wanted to extend the tributary system. (from Wiki)—ring any bells?</p>

<p>idk…I’ll just throw out some stuff
-Exploration?
-show dominance?

<p><a href=“http://www.1421exposed.com/assets/images/Zheng_He_Voyages_50_.jpg[/url]”>http://www.1421exposed.com/assets/images/Zheng_He_Voyages_50_.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>and we’re thinking germany one the answer is something about blocs</p>

<p>Fine, I will! hah</p>

<p>o nvm haha</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s wrong. The question was referring to the Chinese communist revolution. Anyways, it was the Chinese nationalists who overthrew the Qing Dynasty in 1912, not the communists. The correct answer was that wars helped further these revolutions (WWI for Russian Revolution & WWII for Chinese). Continued Russian involvement in WWI lead to the collapse of the Russian Provisional Government and the rise of the Bolsheviks. WWII weakened the Chinese Nationalist Party greatly, allowing the communists to win the Chinese Civil War.</p>
