<p>Been up all night playing StarCraft and reading Thomas Hardy ....</p>
<p>Must commend you fellows on a job extremely well done.... this is a tremendous resource and makes me feel a lot better (I was nervous considering I hadn't done anything outside of European history since 9th grade, but I've missed one of the 81 and omitted three on the entire test... SHOULD be an 800).</p>
<p>Thanks very much.</p>
<p>Resolution for that question, I hope- if anyone has any contradictory evidence I'll be happy to see it (no sarcasm).</p>
<p>Just wanted to thank General Rak and all the others who spent so much time in compiling everything. Thanks guys and gals :)</p>
<p>So the answer to the Han q. was that Buddhism mixed with local faiths in that time, right?</p>

<p>You're quite welcome.</p>
<p>I just remember there was a excerpt on the specific labor of Native Americans in Spanish colony.</p>
<p>I think one of the quesiton asked what kind of machined was that ( a really weird term, can't remember right now) used , and i put mining.</p>
<p>and the quesiton followed asks what resources were they trying to find?</p>
<p>the answers included coal, gold and etc...
I put down gold</p>

<p>why not gold?</p>
<p>There was a question that asked what was the pax romana.</p>
<p>Also, there was aquestion that asked which empire had the most influence on the Roman Empire?
answer choices included,
Carthaginian (I put down this one)
Egyptian
Greek
and some other ones</p>
<p>wasn't the answer Greek</p>
<p>actually I'm not sure, now that I think about it probably is.</p>

The American colonies also provided Spain with valuable gold and silver from mines worked by forced native labor. Together with agriculture, mining maintained Spains empire in the Americas. The most noted silver mines were in Mexico and Potosí, a boomtown in present-day Bolivia at the eastern edge of the Andes. There, Native Americans worked the mines suffering harsh conditions and under a system of forced labor.</p>
<p>America's precious metals (some gold but mostly silver) revolutionized European economies; banking prospered, commerce expanded, and prices soared. Spain, however, was unable to keep much of the silver. Large amounts of it left Spain to pay for costly wars, campaigns against heresy, luxuries for its kings and nobles, and administration of its global empire. In addition, a general European recession beginning in the 1620s hit Spain especially hard. Ultimately, much of the precious metals from Spains colonies ended up in Asia to pay for Asian goods bought by Europeans. Potosí silver streamed through the Philippines, Turkey, Sumatra, and China, where Spains ruler was known as the Silver King. Silver from the Americas sustained a global economy.

<p>I don't remember this question, but since both of you'll do I'll throw it in.</p>

<p>To General Rak:</p>
<pre><code> How did you you know and study all these specific details?
</code></pre>
<p>I didn't. I just happened to know that silver formed the basis of the Spanish empire.</p>
<p>Wow, we have the majority of the test compiled! </p>
<p>Could anyone possibly elaborate on the document excerpt mining question? I do not remember it at all.</p>
<p>I think there was also a question to this effect: (quoted text) shows which of the following about the Spanish and how they approached labor for native americans? They used the native's own system of rotating labor force to their own purpose (mining).</p>
<p>For the gold/silver question, I thought it asked what the Spanish were trying to find, not what they ended up finding. So wouldnt it be gold because it was part of the three Gs?</p>
<p>as far as I am concerned, I recall the test asking what was the resource most taken from Spanish colonies in S. America. Thats gotta be only silver.</p>

<p>That's the question with the answer "mining." I don't remember the exact phrasing.</p>
<p>lets not abandon this thread...we gotta find the other 6 questions :)</p>
