<p>Arn’t we not suppose to discuss multiple choice?</p>
<p>PS I didnt even see the caption of picture, ■■■.</p>
<p>OK Guys, for FRQ #4- the question was:</p>
<p>Analyze the impact of Atlantic Trade on the economy of Western Europe between 1450-1750.</p>
<p>So one, you should only be talking about economic benefits/downsides in that time period. What I wrote about was:</p>
<p>Trade with the Americas- New Resources/colonization</p>
<p>And Mercantilism- look at the intro to Mercantilism on wikipedia. It says that mercantilism dominated the economies of Western Europe in the 16th-18th centuries… Umm that’s exactly the question haha. And triangular trade affected that.</p>
<p>And Eff, I messed up. I talked about trade in the oriental as well (well, how exploration in the oriental, india, south africa, led to increase in atlantic trade</p>
<p>[“this</a> is not a pipe” surrealism - Google Search](<a href=“"this is not a pipe" surrealism - Google Search”>"this is not a pipe" surrealism - Google Search)</p>
<p>^horrible question. It wasn’t even surreal looking. Now if I saw melting clocks in a yellow background… that’s surreal.</p>
<p>Meh, yeah. I didn’t recognize what futurism was, so I didn’t put it
Yay for ignorance? :)</p>
<p>DBQ: How did you guys organize? Is this good enough?</p>
<p>Group 1: Rise of Nazis
Group 2: Proletariat Revolution
Group 3: Dissent among citizens who originally supported the Weimar, but now don’t like it.</p>
<p>The main one I’m not sure on is group 3. :</p>
<p>I was thinking of doing four groups but the only other possible group I could think of was a group consisting of those who supported the Weimar Republic, but that wouldn’t lead to instability, right?</p>
<p>I had group 3. You mean the doc with the discontent veteran, and the doc from the former chancellor guy right?</p>
<p>^^^^
Haha yeah, good to hear I’m not the only one. Do you think that’s right? </p>
<p>I’m pretty sure my first two groups are fine, just wasn’t sure about the third one.</p>
<p>I had five groups in total. Pretty sure that group is one of my legit ones.</p>
<p>^^^
Five groups? Wowa. Only other possible group I saw was those who supported the Weimar, but that couldn’t possibly be a reason for instability. Tried to stay away from any documents supporting it, which left me with 8 documents I think.</p>
<p>-people who thought they were backstabbed (veteran + chancellor)
-the government reps (the first 2 docs)
-communists (the communist dude and cartoon)
-Nazis (Goebbles, Hitler, and the Nazi psychology)
-people who supported democracy (the professor and the journalist).</p>
<p>I think I had a pretty unique DBQ organization:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Novelty. Germany had never had a democracy before, or women in government. (1,2,4)
i.e. democracy didn’t happen overnight, women speaker (bias), speech to university kids</p></li>
<li><p>Other factions with opposing viewpoint; democracy is means to end (most documents)
i.e. communists and Nazis who were coming like “wolves” and “enemies”</p></li>
<li><p>The overall lack of characteristic Germany fervor and support; the populace felt disillusioned and betrayed, “un-german”, no “heart-flutter” (most of the later documents, Hitler’s last speech).</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I ended up using all the documents and analyzing POV 4 times. I was unsure if the communist cartoon was satirical or not so I approached it sort of neutrally. Does anyone know if for number 7 on the FR if you had to address all three factors for both Freud and Darwin, or could you mix and match? Because I knew little about Freud as it was :P</p>
<p>I believe the cartoon was portraying the “backstabbing” that the imperial chancellor was speaking of - hence the white flag, and the title “One Day We’ll Get Even” which I think refers to the Weimar government who were the backstabbers.</p>
<p>^^
No thats the lyrics in the Communist song/slogan. Didn’t you read the asterisck?</p>
<p>No. The asterisk was for the “arise, you wretched of the earth”.</p>
<p>Wait ***, then I screwed up ffs.</p>
<p>wasnt that document talking about the rise of communism? because it had that quote which was from their official anthem.</p>
<p>^^
thats wat I was thinking</p>
<p>johnw377. my DBQ orgainization was the EXACT things you did, WOW</p>
<p>anyways the only thing im worried about is that for the last document i put it under the “no history of democracy” do you think that would work, i wrote how people instead looked for a strong leader like in the past</p>
<p>im kinda worried about that because i only had 2 documnets for no history of democracy(6, 11) and im wondering if that was a fallacious group, my grade drops down at least to a 5</p>
<p>so yeah let my know what u think :/</p>
<p>really? interesting. I don’t know if the last doc would count for no history of democracy, but I didn’t read the last one very carefully once I found the part about “vocation” and if every german has such and such idealism. I thought it was kind of evident that atleast doc 1 would be in there for no history but idk. What was doc 6 and 11 again?</p>
