<p>Isn't Pangea when all the continents were connected into one giant land mass?</p>
<p>That might be true, but its not the best answer.</p>

"By the 17th century, Amsterdam had become the worlds leading financial centre, having developed central banking, the stockmarket and certain kinds of financial derivatives such as equity options." <a href="http://www.economist.com/surveys/displayStory.cfm?story_id=168334%5B/url%5D">http://www.economist.com/surveys/displayStory.cfm?story_id=168334</a></p>

<p>yes, Pangea was that one hypothesized giant mass. But it disappeared</p>

<p>Also there was one question that asked why Russia did not advance as the rest of Europe during the renaissance. The answer choices included occupation by mongols or huns. I'm not sure of the answer myself, I think I had to guess between the aforementioned two.</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?
[/quote]
</p>
<p>No. It said nothing of the purchasing habits of slaveowners.</p>

<p>I am kind of suprised that there were so few questions on Middle Ages, Renaissance, and Enlightment.</p>
<p>I'm in the same situation, with 14 wrong.</p>

The answer is mongols. The Huns never took over Russia.</p>
<p>Nash13,</p>
<p>According to the 1996</a> conversion table, you're right on the edge of a 770/760.</p>
<p>I remember a question asked why many Buddhist artifacts could be found along the silk road. For the answer I put down culture also was exchanged with merchandise.</p>
<p>I got the Taj Mahal question right.</p>
<p>but what exactly were the chracterstics of Mughals?</p>
<p>weren't they just a synthesis of Mongol and Indian cultures</p>
<p>I totally concur Tamirms.</p>
<p>[url=<a href="http://powerpolitics.org/school/worldhistory.html%5D59/95%5B/url">http://powerpolitics.org/school/worldhistory.html]59/95[/url</a>]. Very impressive work guys. Keep it up!</p>
<p>Yet another question,
why was Russia so susceptible to Bolshevik communist revolution in 1917?
I think the answer was it had sustained many casualties as well as food shortages from WWI.</p>
<p>I agree with you on that one, tamirms.. was that the same ? in which one of the answers had to do with Rasputin influencing the czar? I just remember that answer (altho it wasn't correct) but I don't remember the actual question..</p>
<p>Food and consumable goods shortages (I don't know if the answer included casualties, but I know it definitely included food shortages).</p>
