I believe the answer was that mahayana consider Buddha to be more of a personal savior.

<p>That's what I have, though in other words. I'll add that piece in, though, to clarify.</p>

<p>Yeah, that's the answer we have.</p>

<p>Financial capital of the world during 17th century Europe:
Amsterdam (Many thanks to AOE 3 and the Civilization series:) )</p>

<p>I thought it was Paris. :(</p>

<p>Nope, definitely Amsterdam.</p>

<p>I remember there was one question that had an excerpt about reaching India (possibly the New World), and asked where would it most likely be found.
Possible answers included journal of Columbus...</p>

<p>I think it was the journey to Asia. The answer was the journal from Marco Polo.</p>

<p>Ahhh, yes. Journal of Marco Polo (the journal described how the Chinese had reached and explored the Indian seas and found all those wonderful things).</p>

<p>I think one question asked which country led the world in exploration during the 16th or 17th century. I put down portugal.</p>

<p>Right.</p>

<p>Now we're at [url=<a href="http://powerpolitics.org/school/worldhistory.html%5D54%5B/url"&gt;http://powerpolitics.org/school/worldhistory.html]54[/url&lt;/a&gt;].&lt;/p>

<p>Tu as raison. :)</p>

<p>By the way, General how do you make a link to the site with one word.</p>

<p>Can anyone explain why was Amerstdam (not Paris) the finanial center of Europe during 17th century?</p>

<p>Oh yes, one question asked what effect did the glorious revolution and civil war had on the Britain. I think the answer was it limited the monarchy and gave more power to parlaiment</p>

<p>one more:</p>

<p>pangea = disappeared continent</p>

<p>yup, I got that too (for the Glorious Revolution)</p>

<p>Tarmims I put that too. Also, wasn’t there a question about the Mississipian culture in North America and how they built mounds?</p>

<p>think i got this one right.</p>

<p>Janissary System = units of Ottoman Turks army</p>

<p>For the slave graph question, do you think the answer that stated that slaveowners preferred buying male slaves over female slaves might also be correct? Is it even a possibility or am I totally off?</p>
