^meh, you also have:
Henry II who got killed in a random tournament
Henry III of Guise
Henry of Navarre who becomes Henry IV</p>
Meh, I just remember it as the ones in the War of the Three Henries.</p>
Henry III
Henry, Duke of Guise
Henry of Navarre -> Henry IV (since he’s the victor, he becomes Henry + 1)</p>
I’m using mainly Modern European History. I’ve read through CLiffNotes and I plan on going through Princeton Review as well. I have Crash Course but it’s not that useful because it’s really general (good for cramming if you’re not prepared though)</p>
So what do you guys think the essays are going to be on?</p>
i have u.s. history and euro on the same day…</p>
I’M GOING TO DIE</p>
US History and European History intertwines with each other which is both a bad thing and a good thing.</p>
Good luck, I feel your pain.</p>
I plan on cramming like a boss for the next few days with modern European and Barron’s. I am home schooled so my days will consist of studying and the occasionally breaks to refuel and keep going. I cant seem to remember any of the people so I guess I have a lot of cramming to do.</p>
Yeah, I can’t remember anyone past the French Revolution. It just seems so much that everyone between the Fr Rev and WWI seems so unimportant.</p>
anyone have any essay predictions?</p>
also, how specific is the exam? as i’ve been reviewing i’ve realized that i don’t know all the specific details about the religious wars and stuff…just the big picture. is this all i need to know?</p>
can somebody explain how to put your 3 groups into your DBQ essay? are the groups stated in your thesis and then you just talk about them in each of your 3 paragraphs?</p>
DBQ is mostly persuasive writing, if you can tell which ones have bias and group documents together than you are fine.</p>
For FRQ, you should know the big picture as well as specifics. Graders want you to have a general knowledge of the subject as well as a few specific examples.</p>
For religious wars, I would know Calvin, Luther, Loyola (Jesuits), Duke of Alva (Council of Blood), Gustavus Adolphus (Sweden’s involvement in Thirty Years War), Charles V abdication (Ferdinand and Philip in which they both find themselves in a religious struggle in their territories), War of Three Henries, Louis XIV, and minor people like Tetzel, Anabaptists, etc.</p>
(^ Not a complete list of people you should know)</p>
Basically, the Thirty Years War grew from a religious feud to political warfare in which countries justified their war declarations (casus belli) as religious reasons. Also, the German lords in the North were mostly Protestant while the South was manly Catholic. This was because the HRE in Italy could punish the Southern lords of the HRE much easier than the ones in the North. Mostly they converted as they could use religion to their needs as ways to improve their power and gain territory.</p>
EDIT: @Voberaptor: Look at the 2011 Scoring Guide for the DBQ for a reference.</p>

I would say that in your thesis, you kind of hint towards the groups as the topics for the main body paragraphs (ex. let’s say you want to say religion was a main factor for the Renaissance. Then group the documents together by making a little note while planning and explain each document one by one during your body paragraph. You are not allowed to collectively discuss documents.)</p>
To answer hermione903’s question, the test is pretty much “big-picture based” so I think you’re in a good spot. How “big picture” though? But, overall, we all only really know general details and the big picture, so either we’ll all fail (DAMN) or we all win (YAY). </p>
Good luck w/ Euro AND APUSH on the same day, by the way. I took APUSH, and let me tell you, I WOULD NOT be able to handle those two … I would freak. Compliments as to your guts to do both … You’ll live. APUSH isn’t hard. :)</p>
What are the basic artistic periods to be able to identify?</p>
Right now I’ve got Renaissance (Italian and Northern), Baroque, Romanticism, Realism, Impressionism, and Cubism/Surrealism (Dada) - in chronological order</p>
Any main ones that would be on the test that I’m missing?</p>
Could you remind me what Realism and Impressionism was?</p>
Realism is just what it sounds like. It was a reaction to romanticism, and focused on everyday life, especially of the middle and lower classes. Think Charles Dickens for literature, Courbet for painting. </p>
Impressionism was a result of the introduction of photography, and was basically a rough image of a scene. Imagine opening your eyes and closing them really quickly, then trying to paint that imagine. Think about Van Gogh’s Starry Night for Impressionism.</p>
And we should keep the questions coming here, good study tool :)</p>
Q: What were some of the differences between the Northern and Italian Renaissance?</p>
I can’t say much but the Italian Renaissance was more focused on Humanism and how someone could be the perfect man (Renaissance man). They glorified the classics using paintings, sculptures, and architecture. In addition, the Italian states were more secular in their beliefs with such religious figures such as the popes (Leo X I believe?) being patrons of the arts of such famous artists as Michelangelo.</p>
The North was more focused on religious reforms and how they could reform the Catholic religion. Northern art was more focused on color and the rendering as well as a more religious type of feel compared to the South. Paintings in Italy were generally focused on composition (depth, lighting) while the North was focused on color and the rendering of the colors.</p>
sorry, i feel like this question has been asked too many times, but does anyone have any essay predictions? i’m extremely worried…</p>
Always read about women or any group of people that were attacked throughout history (Jews in the form of the Holocaust, pogroms, forced into ghettos; Huguenots; etc.)</p>
OMG I was in the exact same position- Ch.27 and two days to go-oh yea. Plan finishing tonight then review notecards tomorrow. I basically read the entire book over.</p>
