<p>Hey guys im taking the World history test tomorrow kinda nervous as i passed the human geography one but the writing session on World history seems so different, im asking can some one explain to me on how to write a good thesis for all 3 essay types as that is whats stumping me ( I think) though is this a good thesis? I have a book from 2009 about the ap world history test So the question was “For the Period 1876-1908, analyze how the Ottoman Government viewed ethnic and religious groups within its empire.” And the example they gave of a working thesis was “The Ottoman government took the same position on religous diversity as it did on ethnic diversity. Minorities were servants of the Ottoman Turks, and religious diversity was tolerated as long as Islam remained supreme.” This a thesis for a DBQ question. Should the other 2 have the same type of thesis format or are they different from each other?</p>
<p>Essay predictions?? Anyone?</p>

<p>10,000-2,000 BCE
Neolithic Cultures</p>
<p>ca. 2100-1600 BCE<br>
Xia (Hsia) Dynasty (MYTHICAL)</p>
<p>ca. 1600-1050 BCE<br>
Shang Dynasty</p>
<p>One of the Three Dynasties, or San Dai (Xia, Shang, and Zhou), thought to mark the beginning of Chinese civilization: characterized by its writing system, practice of divination, walled cities, bronze technology, and use of horse-drawn chariots.</p>
<p>ca. 1046-256 BCE<br>
Zhou (Chou) Dynasty: Western Zhou (ca. 1046-771 BCE), Eastern Zhou (771-256 BCE)</p>
<p>A hierarchical political and social system with the Zhou royal house at its apex: power was bestowed upon aristocratic families as lords of their domains or principalities. Although often compared to European “feudalism,” what actually gave the system cohesion was a hierarchical order of ancestral cults. The system eventually broke down into a competition for power between rival semi-autonomous states in what became known as the Spring and Autumn period (ca. 770-475 BCE) and the Warring States (ca. 475-221 BCE) period. It was during these tumultuous times that Confucius (551-479 BCE) lived.</p>
<p>221-206 BCE
Qin (Ch’in) Dynasty</p>
<p>Created a unitary state by imposing a centralized administration and by standardizing the writing script, weights and measures. Known for its harsh methods of rule, including the suppression of dissenting thought.</p>
<p>206 BCE-220 CE<br>
Han Dynasty: Western/Former Han (206 BCE-9 CE) and Eastern/Later Han (25-220 CE)</p>
<p>Modified and consolidated the foundation of the imperial order. Confucianism was established as orthodoxy and open civil service examinations were introduced. Han power reached Korea and Vietnam. Records of the Historian, which became the model for subsequent official histories, was completed.</p>
<p>220-589 CE<br>
“Period of Disunity” or Six Dynasties Period</p>
<p>The empire was fragmented. The North was dominated by invaders from the borderland and the steppes. The South was ruled by successive “Chinese” dynasties. Buddhism spread.</p>
<p>581-618 CE<br>
Sui Dynasty</p>
<p>China reunified.</p>
<p>618-906
Tang (T’ang) Dynasty</p>
<p>A time of cosmopolitanism and cultural flowering occurred. This period was the height of Buddhist influence in China until its repression around 845. Active territorial expansion until defeated by the Arabs at Talas in 751.</p>
<p>960-1279<br>
Song (Sung) Dynasty: Northern Song (960-1127) and Southern Song (1127-1279)</p>
<p>An era of significant economic and social changes: the monetization of the economy; growth in commerce and maritime trade; urban expansion and technological innovations. The examination system for bureaucratic recruitment of neo-Confucianism was to provide the intellectual underpinning for the political and social order of the late imperial period.</p>
<p>1279-1368<br>
Yuan Dynasty</p>
<p>Founded by the Mongols as part of their conquest of much of the world. Beijing was made the capital. Dramas, such as the famous Story of the Western Wing, flourished.</p>
<p>1368-1644<br>
Ming Dynasty</p>
<p>The first Ming emperor, Hongwu, laid the basis of an authoritarian political culture. Despite early expansion, it was an inward-looking state with an emphasis on its agrarian base. Gradual burgeoning of the commercial sector; important changes in the economy and social relations in the latter part of the dynasty; also a vibrant literary scene as represented by publication of the novel Journey to the West.</p>
<p>1644-1912<br>
Qing (Ch’ing) Dynasty</p>
<p>A Manchu dynasty. Continued the economic developments of the late Ming, leading to prosperity but also complacency and a dramatic increase in population. The acclaimed novel Dream of the Red Chamber was written in this period. Strains on the polity were intensified by a rapid incorporation of substantial new territories. Its authoritarian structure was subsequently unable to meet the military and cultural challenge of an expansive West.</p>
<p>1912-1949<br>
Republic Period</p>
<p>Weak central government following the collapse of the dynastic system in 1911-12; Western influence was shown by the promotion of “science” and “democracy” during the New Culture Movement. The attempt of the Nationalist government (est. 1928) to bring the entire country under its control was thwarted by both domestic revolts and the Japanese occupation (1937-45). The Nationalists fled to Taiwan after defeat by the Communists.</p>
<p>1949-present<br>
People’s Republic of China</p>
<p>Communist government. The drive for remaking society ended in disasters such as the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. Economic reform and political retrenchment since around 1978.</p>

For the grouping, let’s say you do positive vs. negative
Does that count as 2 groupings? or just one? And would you need four different documents then? ( 2 for positive, 2 for negative)?</p>
