<p>hey the zhou answer was animism not ancestor worship!</p>
<p>Was it? I thought it was ancestor worship…</p>
<p>no the viking one was mainland N america since they only settled on the coast of canada rite. and they only did raids and didnt want to move into the mainland?</p>
<p>hey Im positive about animism i think :). here is a quote from a webste:</p>
<p>"The Zhou also brought their religion with them. They banned human sacrifice. They practiced the cult of Heaven. The worship of sun and stars was the most important thing. Some of the popular Shang gods became incorporated into this system. They were lesser gods, and served as feudal lords to the Heaven-god.

<p>if it was only ancestor worship, they wouldn have gods then.</p>
<p>and japan did not make electronics back then did they. I thought i was 80% sure that it was stalin:heavy industry and japan:service</p>
<p>No it was definitely ancestor worship. They practiced ancestor veneration as a way to get closer to the gods. Confucianism reinforced ancestor worship as well. And that’s what I said, service bs heavy industry because I didn’t think japan was making technology but
focusing on service.</p>
<p>the one incorrectly paired with the colony is spain and algeria. the others were correct. I remember that that answer shone like a star on the test and i was like “no its FRANCE and algeria” right?</p>
<p>never mind it is ancester worship… crud im doomed</p>
<p>Ahhhh I’m scared.</p>
<p>The Gandhi one: question was along the lines of “what did Gandhi mean when he said Indians must become economically self-sufficient to become politically independent?” I put homespun cloth.</p>
<p>According to this thread, I got around 5 wrong, no omits. Pretty sure still an 800, yes?
I actually found this way easier than the AP World MC. Which is saying a lot, because the AP was pretty easy too. I had a staredown match with the proctor after finishing with 20 minutes left. 
</p>
<p>I also got the slave trade (for Portugal/Kongo); Gold for salt (100% guaranteed… seriously… this is basic info…)</p>
<p>I remember another question: “The devshirme system reflected which of the following LASTING (capitals mine) characteristic of the Ottoman Empire?”
The answer was (A) A multireligious, multiethnic empire.</p>
<p>Also: a new question I remember…
“From the period of 600-400 BCE, classical civilizations saw which of the following?”
(A) Steep decline in population
(B) important advancements in religion and philosophy
… other choices.
The answer is B. This was the time of a revolution in faith and ideas.</p>
<p>There was a question on Eurasia which I can’t remember =(</p>
<p>Was it about the military success of Eurasian nomads? I got something about horse-mounted warfare for that one.</p>
<p>Oh yes and there seems to be quite a confusion over the similarities between the French and Bolshevik revolutions… many people are saying that they both failed and were replaced by reactionary governments. </p>
<p>I can tell you that this is not true. I have done research papers on both revolutions, am top of the class at AP European History, and I will you that the answer is, in fact, that both revolutions aimed to spread their ideals. Here’s why:</p>
<p>After the French reduced of Louis XVI to “Citizen Capet”, foreign powers were becoming increasingly uneasy about the radicalism of the French Revolution and the dangers of Enlightenment excesses. Indeed, Catherine the Great of Russia (a supposedly “enlightened despot”) burnt all her books by Voltaire as soon as she grasped that such ideas were costing royals such as herself their thrones and likely their lives. The Austrians and Prussians made an agreement to protect the French royal family (remember where “L’austrichienne” came from, even though Joseph II thought her silly… anyway…) and declared that if the French revolutionaries harmed the royal family in any way, the combined Austro-Prussian forces would invade and impart revenge/justice. Obviously, this backfired in a most spectacular fashion, and the French were infused with an intense desire to defend their newly-“enlightened” and liberated country from menacing foreigners who wanted to crush their mantra of “Liberty, Fraternity, and Equality!” So there you have it: French revolutionaries were greatly inspired by patriotism during their revolution, and wished to “enlighten” their conservative neighbours to the light and glory of Enlightenment ideas – no wonder, then, did Catherine revoke her patronism of Voltaire as soon as the revolution went too far.</p>
<p>I don’t really need to explain the Bolshevik side of it, do I? The Cold War era is the most damning piece of evidence you can get.</p>
<p>Hope that helps =)</p>
<p>@HADC10: Yes! I assumed they were referring to the Mongol invaders, so I put horse-mounted warfare too. Excellent.</p>
<p>What did you guys think of the question " Which of these elected officials was a relative of Indira Ghandhi?" My friend said it was Neru but thats cause he did a bio on Indira before. I omitted that question and thought it was absolute BS.</p>
<p>@Cortana431- Yes it’s Nehru
Yeah guyz, this test was ridic. I’ve missed around 3-5 so far… aiyahh</p>
<p>what did you guys put for the cause of decline of the carolingian empire? i said something about his authoritarian rule >></p>
<p>@ivoire i’m pretty sure for the portugal kongo one it was not gold salt trade just because of the time period that was presented in the question which i believe that it was 1600 meaning that the gold and salt trade had declined considerably and slave trade had begun meaning that was the main export</p>
<p>The Carolingian Empire certainly did NOT fall about because of Charlemagne’s authoritarian rule! In fact, the opposite is true: I put that the the local nobles tried to subvert the king’s power. This is entirely plausible, since the Carolingian Empire was notably one of the loosest empires, if it can even be called an empire. Kings were not despots by any stretch of imagination, and were forced to allow the nobility considerable freedoms. The nobles held the real power; the king could not make a critical decision without at least some of the nobility’s support. Obviously, this led to a constant see-saw of power struggles, which makes the local nobles rebelling choice the most likely answer.</p>
<p>@truesondaily: If you go back to my post, I actually said slave trade for the Portugal/Kongo question. The Gold/Salt trade was for a separate question about Sub-Saharan trade (what was gold traded for in the beginning… the answer is salt). I put a semi-colon to indicate they were two separate questions; I apologize if that was not clear enough. =)</p>
<p>I don’t even remember local nobels rebelling as a choice…</p>
