I think another question was where was the Mayan empire located, and I put down lowlands of Central America.

I agree.</p>

Ok, I wasn't going to say anything, but I do believe it's "indigenous" and certainly not "ingenuous."

That's right, thanks.</p>

<p>Anyone remember any other questions?</p>

<p>Charlemagne. I'm racking my brain for some more.</p>

<p>We're</a> up to 45 questions now. Can we possibly get half the test compiled?</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the other choices of the "reasons for Allied victory question". I could have sworn that one of the answers was that the Allies won three key victories particularly Stalingrad.</p>

<p>mm how bout the graphs w/ slave life and deaths by age.. what was that answer? I also remember a question about Saint Paul, one about (or was one of the answers) St. Francis Xavier, and one dealing with Jesus and the coin w/ the face of Caesar on it... Heyyy that's 49 questions now... wahoo</p>

<p>haha life and deaths... sorry I meant births and deaths.. wow.. looong day :-) What about the question about which country has had the most influence on the Caribbean islands? I remember the answers included Spain, France, the US, and the USSR</p>

<p>Oh for the Caesar one I put that the people needed to refuse Roman rule or something when it came to their faith.</p>

<p>For the slave one, I put the result was that slaves had to be constantly replenished by importing them from other places.</p>

<p>Ah, great, some fresh questions:</p>

I also remember a question about Saint Paul

[/quote]
</p>

<p>He is considered the second founder of Christianity because he was instrumental in converting Gentiles (non-Jews) to the religion.</p>

<p>

Jesus and the coin w/ the face of Caesar on it

[/quote]
</p>

<p>Jesus wanted the listeners to obey Roman rule in all matters except their faith (give unto Caesar what is Caesar's, give unto the Church what is the Church's).</p>

<p>

St. Francis Xavier

</p>

<p>I don't remember that one at all. Can you specify more?</p>

<p>

<p>Hmm... I don't remember that one at all either.</p>

<p>Okay</a> guys, we're up to 48. Can you give me any more detail on those other questions?</p>

<p>So that’s 48 questions? Good lord, we have half the test.</p>

<p>We can do better. :D</p>

<p>I remember there was a question that asked what was important about Muslim Spain, and I put that they helped to spread literature and knowledge.</p>

<p>We got that one:</p>

<p>
[quote]
Q: What did the Islamic caliphate in Spain do?
A: Preserved and disseminated classical scientific knowledge

<p>The St. Xavier one is wrong. I believe the question asked of which of the priests sought equal rights for native Americans or something to that effect. I also believe the answer is Bartolome de Las Casas, evidence can be found here: <a href="http://elvis.rowan.edu/%7Ekilroy/JEK/07/17.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://elvis.rowan.edu/~kilroy/JEK/07/17.html&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p>

<p>Also there was a question about how Buddhism spread.. you had to put the regions in order.. the regions they used were like India, China, Southeast Asia, and something else</p>

<p>Also, Rak, I'd like to raise a point of contention on your answer to the difference between therevada and mahayana Buddhism. I believe the answer was that mahayana consider Buddha to be more of a personal savior.</p>

<p>yeah that's what I put, ecm5227.
India, China, Southeast Asia, and Japan</p>

<p>Very good, very good.</p>
