<p>I'm pretty sure that it was before 1850 (rise of sanitation), but I agree that the answer choice was many deaths because of disease.</p>

286

<p>That's what I put.</p>

287

<p>yeah, Rak, you're right.</p>

288

<p>I'm</a> happy to say that we now have more than 75% of the test compiled.</p>

<p>Thanks greatly to the effort of tamirms. :)</p>

289

<p>Rak, can you ask the town question on Library of Congress?</p>

290

<p>Only if I'd read through plenty of relevant scholarly material before and still couldn't find the answer.</p>

<p>In any case, by the time we got an answer we'd probably almost have our scores. ;)</p>

291

<p>What were the consequences of Nixon's talks with China?
Normalization of relations between the Chinese and US(I put this one)
Led to direct investment from US into China</p>

292

<p>Normalization of relations between the Chinese and US.</p>

293

<p>I think there was a question about hellenism?
The answer, I think, was that it was a combination of Greek and presian/middle eastern culture.</p>

294

<p>Same answer here.</p>

295

<p>I think one question was about how Marx differed from the other socialists, answer being that he predicted that communisim would arise out of the expected destruction of capitalism.</p>

296

<p>yes, we got less than 20 now !</p>

<p>I agree with this one too.</p>

298

<p>I was thinking there were two choices about a supercontinent for Pangaea, but I really don't remember. BTW, thanks for compiling the great list, General Rak.</p>

<p>There was one question about the similarity between the Ming and another culture at the time, and I'm pretty sure the answer was that both had a monarchy and something else. It wasn't the question with the answer concerning merchants' social standing. There was definitely a question asking what the Balfour Declaration was (British document that favored establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine, of course). I think there was also a question asking what was characteristic of the Hellenistic Age, and the answer was something about the blending of cultures.</p>

<p>I'm hoping somebody else can fill in the blanks, since my memory is so spotty.</p>

<p>Edit: LOL this place is jumping. Everybody is beating me to it!</p>

<p>Yeah, but not quite. The answer choice was that he expected capitalism would ultimately self-destruct.</p>

<p>Rak, I think another good service is online homework help <a href="http://www.lexpublib.org/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.lexpublib.org/&lt;/a>
