June 2009 - World History

<p>^^oo thank you for the extra info on the question lemonio. and i believe there was another question on tribes. it was specifically south american ones, it said apache and hopo. i might be confusing this with the inuit one</p>

<p>^^can some1 explain why the woman one making cloth was taking care of kids. Because it never said a time period(rite?) and if it did i thouht it was at a time when men and women=equal.</p>

<p>well before the agricultural revolution women stayed home to take care of children and to help feed their children they produced things that could be made in the home, like cloth
later, when remaining in the home was not necessary, they remained because of the cult of domesticity</p>

<p>also note that men and women were virtually never equal
there is always a seperation of gender roles in society</p>

<p>Hey… are you sure the spanish were the first to make PERMANENT SETTLEMENTS in the americas? i remember my apush teacher saying the jamestown was the first PERMANENT EUROPEAN SETTLEMENT in the americas… i thought spanish settlements were not permanent ones…</p>

<p>also, are you guys sure about the queen sheba questions? i searched her on wikipedia… and apparantly she’s from the aksum kingdom… seriously WHAT THE HECK? was Aksum an answer choice?</p>

<p>Plus, were they rulers of equal statue? i remember something about how solomon could give her all the presents she wanted EXCEPT what his position or power allowed him to give her…or something like that…I thought that meant that solomon was the king with higher status than queen sheba</p>

<p>^^^brazil is still a country(even tho thats portugal). They were slave colonies really. WAAY before jamestown.</p>

<p>Was cloth was easy to make a choice?</p>

<p>edit: yemen is where sheba was from. and i also agree and remember something like that. i posted a huge wall of text from wikipedia i think. Basically, i think we are right because 1. SHE CAME TO him(this was in the passage), she brough SPECIFIC and extremely valuable goods, 3. he was like oh take whatever and Solomon was a very powerful man in the region and i doubt any1 was even close to equal.</p>

<p>why are the xiongnu & chinese similar to the romans and the huns? aren’t they more similar to russia and the ottomans because russians, like the xiongnu invaded ottoman territories in the south like the xiongnu did to the chinese? (and that’s why the great wall of china was built)</p>

<p>Huns= warring nomadic tribe that attacked Rome
Rome= most powerful empire in that area
Xiognu= warring nomadic tribe that attacked Han
Han dynasty in China= most powerful empire in that area</p>

<p>I’ve changed my mind about the Shihuangdi question. if I remember correctly, the actual answer with the draft was “drafted farmers instead of allowing them to grow rice.” This implies that the lack of rice growers led to decline, which is probably not right. However, the overtaxing is definitely correct, and it definitely led to unrest, which led to rebellion, which led to end of Qin dynasty.</p>

<p>most definetly
the settlement question said something like
first extensive settlements but it did not say “permanent”</p>

<p>srry this is a little off subject, but i looked at the collegeboard website and according to them, the next time they will offer the world history test is December 2009. Is there anyway that they would change that date so it could be taken in october?</p>

<p>alright, nobody has mentioned this choice for the similarity between russian and chinese communist revolutions, only two choices have been mentioned (the help from wars and the overthrowing monarchies one).</p>

<p>i put a choice that leaders of both promised change for the lower classes to help their cause, wasn’t that true?</p>

<p>P.s. it might sound stupid but when did japan invade india?
i’ve never heard it :S</p>

<p>lol luluzg, thats what i thought, but all the choices had japan in it, so it had to be the more general one</p>

<p>and honestly guys, i really think sheba was not equal to solomon. first of all, out of prior knowledge - solomon is much more significant than sheba. but i know that’s not sufficient enough, but in the passage it says something like this: “solomon was impressed by sheba’s gifts and told her that she could have whatever she wants besides WHAT SHE ALREADY GETS FROM HIS ROYAL BOUNTY.” doesn’t that mean that she’s a tributary to him???</p>

<p>haha i know.
p.s. how did u get all the questions?</p>

<p>sd6, i also put that the revolutions promised change.
& i thought sheba was equal to soloman.
& for the settlement, i thought it said permanent, and it was in North America. thats why i put England but knowing CB, they probably put that b/c it was the one most students would chose, and probably not the right one…</p>

<p>@ Lemonio: No, I’m SURE that the question said PERMANENT SETTLEMENTS, it was definitely one of my ‘educated’ guesses, I’m sure the word PERMANENT was in there</p>

<p>@ chocobok: i thought Germanic tribes were sandwiched in between Rome in the west and the Huns in the east… i thought Huns were…in a sense “indirect” invaders since Germanic tribes crossed the Roman borders for the most part. The General who conquered the city of Rome was Odoacer, a GERMANIC General, not one of the Huns</p>

<p>i don’t think this question was mentioned either–since when did vietnam become a country? i remember some of the choices being: since japan invaded, colonized by europe. does anyone have any ideas?</p>

<p>on the list, it says vieetnam became a country cuz of taking over champa or something…</p>

<p>ahve we found all the missing questions now?!?!</p>

<p>Furthermore, about the passage of the Japanese woman, how does that show that upperclass Japanese women had political influence? the woman mentioned in the passge was neglected (although she was ‘happy’ about it) of successing the throne. Although she was of very high status and the orthodox way must have been letting that women seize the throne, she was unable to, and in the passage there is something about that being the decision that ‘the people’ wanted. I thought this showed that despite the woman’s status, she was neglected of political power (as the prevailing opinion shows, the public hates a woman ascending to the throne), which showed that women in Japan had no political power… correct me if I’m wrong.</p>
