<p>ugh… I was going between those two.</p>
<p>it was most violent decolonizing in africa with places that had white settlers because the colonizing countries tried harder to hold on to those places…look at angola…and not all countries fell into military dictatorship-south africa</p>
<p>It was most violent in countries that had large white populations (settler colonies) than it was in countries that didn’t have large white populations (non-settler colonies). Compare the decolonization of Algeria (settler) to Gold Coast (non-settler).</p>
<p>agreed… a meant algeria not angola</p>
<p>Kenya had a significant white population, yet it went rather peacefully (at least compared to a lot of other states, in terms of the size of warfare).</p>
<p>Many of the nations had violent wars of independence, like Angola, Nigeria, Mozambique, Zambia, and Zimbabwe off of the top of my head. Only Zimbabwe of all of them had any white population to speak of. </p>
<p>It wasn’t the only factor involved.</p>
<p>Kenya was anything but peaceful. The Mau Mau?</p>
<p>Other questions: (Most of these are fairly obvious ones though)</p>
<p>I also apologise if there are questions here that were already discussed. I just compiled together everything that I remembered that wasn’t on the most recent version of the list. </p>
<p>Bandung Conference was the non-aligned countries thing. (I knew the answer but for some odd reason I omitted this question)
The Disappointed Bolivar question I think was the lack of a unified United States of South America
The Mughal Safavid picture was the Mughals trying to assert their superiority because the Mughal emperor was standing on a lion while Shah Abbas was standing on a lamb
The Islam in Mali and Songhay question was that their culture was still strongly influenced by traditional beliefs
The Traditional South American religion question was that they still persisted under the guise of Christianity. Example is how they identified with the Virgin Mary because she was like Pachamamam the earth mother
The Scandinavian question was going for trade and war both eastward and southward
Largest amount of slaves in the Americas in the 18th century was sugar plantations
Repository of Hellenistic Culture was Alexandria
The Marco Polo looking at the Black Pepper question was Asia was full of riches
The Christopher Columbus Question was looking for a passage east.
Brazil ecological problems was clearing of the rain forest
The Mao Zedong question was because of his cultural revolution and etc.
The Printing Press was the Song Dynasty
The Christianity, Judaism, and Islam question was Zoroastrianism
The Vietnam question was Confucianism and Buddhism
The Huns, Mongols, and some other nomadic race was the horse
The main food of the mesoamericans was maize
The Young Turks sought political reform
The Boxer Rebellion was against Europeans and Christains
The Tokugawa closed off because it didn’t want Western influences
After the Opium war more chinese ports were opened to European traders
The city that had the same national ownership as New York was Cape Town, South Africa
The Europeans bought slaves from port and trade cities
The Meiji restoration happened to centralise power back into the emperor (aka centralised military dictatorship)
The massacres in the 1970s and 1990s were Cambodia and Rwanda</p>
<p>And I think there was a Korean war question, I’m not sure though.</p>
<p>yes yes idk yes idk yes yes yes idk yes yes yes yes yes idk yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes</p>
<p>Thats 78 questions total…</p>
<p>Is it possible to do better than one thinks? If all those answers are presumably correct…I’m not in a good place…</p>
<p>@drewshlle. I’m fairly sure in these answers. The only ones that I was a little bit iffy on were the disappointed Bolivar question and the traditional south american religion question.</p>
<p>Harrovian, if I recall correctly, I got all the same answers as you did.</p>
<p>I remember one about the Cyrillic alphabet and the religion it influenced. I put Roman Catholicism? I’m not exactly sure on that one
Also one about African societies before 1000 C.E?</p>
<p>Cyrillic was Eastern Orthodox. The alphabet was created by St. Cyril and Methodius so Russians could read the bible or something like that.</p>
<p>Cyrillic Alphabet was Eastern Orthodoxy. It was named after the saint who helped spread Eastern Orthodoxy to Africa. </p>
<p>And I don’t even remember their being an African society before 1000 C.E. question. Could you be more specific?</p>
<p>@lydiat. I wouldn’t worry about the curve. I think you can get in excess of 10 questions wrong and still get 800. I think I’m done about 4-7 right now, depending on how some of the debatable answers turn out.</p>
<p>ive gotten 10 wrong so far</p>
<p>Plus I think that this curve may be even more lenient since the test is new and previous tests have been repeated, and answers easily accessible on different forums. At least, that’s what I’m hoping. I REALLY want an 800.</p>
<p>How do you know that this isn’t a repeat test?</p>
<p>@DAIMYO That’s awesome. There’s a few other questions that I can’t recall right now, including a few right on the tip of my tongue. There was definitely a second question along with the Transfusion of culture article but I can’t seem to remember it. It’s really frustrating because normally I’m good at remembering the questions.</p>
<p>I think someone in another thread posted that the curve for this test is online, and it was 78/95. I doubt this number is legitimate though. The one in the blue book is 75/95. The June 2009-2012 tests have some repeated questions, but this test didn’t really ask any of them so hopefully that means this test is newish and has a bigger curve.</p>
