Can anyone explain Henry vs. Luther? Someone above had stated this.</p>
^ Luther and Henry had very different religious views. Henry basically adopted the Catholic viewpoint, except he was the head of the Church instead of the Pope. Luther was Protestant, meaning he was against the lavishness of the Catholic Church, as well as 5 of the 7 sacraments, celibacy, the use of Latin, and indulgences. </p>
There were similar because they both broke away from the established tradition of Catholicism in their countries and caused a decrease in Catholic power.</p>
Martin Luther posted the 99 Thesis right. His ideas such as that only god could forgive sins and that praying or fasting were not going to help you case were huge! He also believe the church should not concern itself with secular matters and which meant that the german princes loved him. They were converting to lutherism because it would mean they would have more control over their domains and would be able to expand their power.</p>
NOTE: Take everything I say with a grain of salt I have been cramming for hours and everythingis a bit jumbled.</p>
Last 48 hours towards the exam now.</p>
I just want to ask, how did converting to Lutheranism/Calvinism allow the German princes to consolidate their power? What in Protestant philosophy gave the German princes more power rather than Catholicism?</p>
^ The Catholic church made German princes pay a tax (called the tithe I believe), where most of the money went towards the art projects sponsored by the Pope. So essentially, they got to keep more of their own money in their province. Also, they could acquire more land because they would not have to deal with the Church having part of their land. That and they would have the power of deciding their area’s religion, strengthening their hold over their people.</p>
All nighter tomorrow, wooot.</p>
Yeah me too. But I really wish I had some more practice exams to study from. I’m so weak on Post WW2.</p>
I have the 2008 practice exam. It’s anywhere on the Internet though.</p>
Could I get a link? I can’t find it.</p>
@whatslife: LOL, I’m pulling off an all nighter too. Kudos to us procrastinators :D</p>
@LolCakeLazors Same. If there is an FRQ/tons of MCs on post-WWII, haha, I’m screwed beyond the range of screwdom. I DO NOT know real modern Europe very well. Our teacher literally crammed it in our heads in one day, and I don’t know if it’ll stick. :/. Come on, College Board, don’t screw me over tommorrow with questions beyond the Russian Revolution, WWII, and SOME post WWII.</p>
guys let’s all push thru this. a bit more than 24 hours. kudos to us procrastinators. tis the season of cramming xD</p>
Guys, 25 hours left!</p>
If it’s any help, my teacher suggests really knowing the fall of communism, enlightened despotism, the Industrial Revolution, the Reformation and women’s history. (Not specifically for THIS test, but just in general, those are big topics that come up, especially on FRQs)</p>
Also, these aren’t “official” Collegeboard released tests, but here’s a link to 2 more practice tests that I thought were pretty good…</p>
[AP</a> European History | AP* Practice Exams](<a href=“http://www.appracticeexams.com/ap-european-history]AP”>AP European History Review | Free AP Practice Exams)</p>
Also, there’s an AP Euro app you can get for 99 cents if you search “AP Euro” at the app store. It’s called APQuizzes, and it has mini quizzes for Euro, US, and World. It doesn’t do much past the German unification-ish time period, but for a dollar, I think it’s worth it.</p>
Good luck, and happy studying/cramming!</p>
Anybody know where to get an outline on women’s history in Euro because there are always essays on that topic</p>

Thanks for the study guide. Time to review my notes and then call it in a night</p>
I’m actually going to fail. Starting studying now. Someone kill meeee</p>
my ap euro teacher actually advises to do anything BUT study the night before the test. that strikes me as going a bit too far in the other direction! should i just outline one of my euro review books and call it a night? </p>
P.S. is anyone else skipping class in the morning? i think i’ll sleep in and show up in time for the test :)</p>
Does anyone have a concise list of rulers with their time period, country, and a sentence or two describing them?</p>
@annaeh Totally. I’m NOT showing up for classes tomorrow … SO screwed for Euro though.</p>
Is anyone else pulling off an all-nighter? :)</p>
Just taking more tests and sleeping :)</p>
