June 2010: World History

<p>What was the answer to the one about Dutch in Japan? It related to the isolation period I think?</p>

<p>For Lao Tsu question it seemed that most of the quotes revolved more around Confucianism than Daoism. The first one, I think, was more about the establishment on junzi (Confucian term for perfect, moral leaders). Overall Daoism was opposed to big centralized government because they thought people would live the best when they disengaged from world affairs.</p>

<ol>
<li>Marco Polo never saw: tomatoes and sweet potatoes</li>
<li>USSR cartoon: something about independence of satellite states</li>
<li>Most industrialized in HIgh middle ages: Northern italy?</li>
<li>Center of trade: Amsterdam?</li>
<li>Why Germanic tribes invaded: Huns</li>
<li>Lao Tzu: (A)? (government is nice –> people will listen)</li>
<li>first farming/goats/sheep: Southwest asia?</li>
<li>Same time, no contact: Maya/Romans</li>
<li>Inca vs. Sumerian cities: Inca was in highlands, Sumer was in river valleys</li>
<li>Germany Map: 1941</li>
<li>Different types of buddhism: bodhisattvas</li>
<li>women vs men roles in hunter/gatherer societies: equally important but different</li>
<li>Yalta conference?</li>
</ol>

<p>add please!</p>

<p>I think I ommited like 13 and know for sure I missed 1. If that’s all, will I still get an 800?</p>

<p>PMelillo, yeah if you only get 1 or a couple others wrong with 13 omits.</p>

<p>the laotzu one is tough. I put A but we probably need some more feedback before we know for sure</p>

<p>This is not the exact quote from the test but I think it was similar to something like this by Lao Tzu:
“Of the best rulers, The people only know that they exist; the next best they love and praise the next they fear; and the next they revile. When they do not command the people’s faith, some will lose faith in them, and then they resort to oaths! But of the best when their task is accomplished, their work done, the people all remark, We have done it ourselves.”</p>

<p>Whoa this was extremely hard! I guessed on way too many…</p>

<p>For the Yalta Conference I said to draw up political plans for axis territory? not sure if it is right, someone please confirm.</p>

<p>But **** that test was hard! It makes me feel a little better knowing I wasn’t the only who thought that.</p>

<p>^ i put that.</p>

<p>… every WH test is hard.</p>

<p>yeah I said that one too, fresh-man. Something about dividing up territories freed from axis control or something like that.</p>

<p>What is the difference between Russian and Japanese industrialization?
Also what is the similarity between the French and Bolshevik Revolution?</p>

<p>yup yup yalta conference was about redrawing the europe map after the collapse of nazis </p>

<p>what was the answer for japan and soviet union stuff in 1950s through 1970s
i put soviet exportede weapon tech and japan did electronics</p>

<p>confirm plz?</p>

<p>i did heavy industry vs service sector but that could vey well be wrong</p>

<p>for french and bolshevik
i put that they tried to seize the private property
but then it could have been the attempt to spread their ideas</p>

<p>for french and bolshevik…yeah what was the answer to that one? I forget.</p>

<p>Also, for Russia and Japan I put Russia made weapon tech while Japan exported electronics</p>

<p>war was not the answer because napoleonic wars came after the french revolution</p>

<p>no french was before napoleon</p>

<p>As late as 1955, some 40% of the labor force still worked in agriculture, but this figure had declined to 17% by 1970 and to 7.2% by 1990. The government estimated in the late 1980s that this figure would decline to 4.9% by 2000, as Japan imported more and more of its food and small family farms disappeared.</p>

<p>Japan’s economic growth in the 1960s and 1970s was based on the rapid expansion of heavy manufacturing in such areas as automobiles, steel, shipbuilding, chemicals, and electronics. The secondary sector (manufacturing, construction, and mining) expanded to 35.6% of the work force by 1970. By the late 1970s, however, the Japanese economy began to move away from heavy manufacturing toward a more service-oriented (tertiary sector) base. During the 1980s, jobs in wholesaling, retailing, finance, insurance, real estate, transportation, communications, and government grew rapidly, while secondary-sector employment remained stable. The tertiary sector grew from 47% of the work force in 1970 to 59.2% in 1990.</p>

<p>I still don’t know.</p>

<p>for the japan i’m pretty sure it was weapons vs. electronics</p>
