<p>what do you guys remember?</p>

<p>also, were the leaders of the UN the 5 countries of the allied powers that won WWII?</p>

<p>^Yup. It’d be great if you guys could add.</p>

<p>I remember the ff:</p>

<ol>
<li>Crown Jewel of the empire: India</li>
<li>British Industrialization in the 1700’s and 1800’s: Working class growth</li>
<li>Boddhishatva: Englihtened dude</li>
<li>Muslim invasion in 7th century: ?? Franks?</li>
<li>Polynesian v American contact with Europe: Disease</li>
<li>Africans in India: Slave trade???</li>
<li>Afro-Eurasian Trade: Idk</li>
<li>Enlightened despot passage: Louis XVI</li>
</ol>

<p>nothing wrong there, cardinal.</p>

<p>I said that the enlightened despotism passage was machiavelli. wasn’t louis xvi an absolutist ruler during the french rev which is why he was disliked…? or was that another louis?</p>

<p>i said for polynesian v american contact that they both weakened and destroyed…?</p>

<p>Africans in india i said arabic traders in the indian ocean</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Spread of Agri and Herding: SW asia something
(Not conclusive: <a href=“http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e9/Centres_of_origin_and_spread_of_agriculture.svg[/url]”>http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e9/Centres_of_origin_and_spread_of_agriculture.svg&lt;/a&gt;)</p></li>
<li><p>Cathedral: Debatable-Pilgrimage
(Not debatable, this was the only answer that made sense. Churches didn’t collect taxes for the state, they collected tithes and had income off their own lands as an institution separate from the state)</p></li>
<li><p>Bhagavad Gita: Dharma</p></li>
<li><p>Two societies the mongols (or muslims was it?) conquered in 12th: Sassanid & Byzantine
(7th century, Sassanid and Byzantine Empires in 7th sounds like a good answer, but the Byzantine Empire wasn’t fully conquered, or even resoundingly crippled by the Arabs (didn’t fall until 1453, crippled after 1204)). </p></li>
<li><p>L’ouverture, Franklin, Bolivar: Debatable-Enlightenment/Educated Colonist
(Enlightenment)</p></li>
<li><p>Caesaropapism: Secular and Church power in the czar?
(Yes, people like Constantine I, Justinian, etc. all had enormous influence with the Orthodox religion. In fact, they helped to fuel internal conflicts over religion in the empire during the period of iconoclasm. It was another way to justify the power they had over a multiethnic empire that happened to be centered around a single religion for the most part.)</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Fredrick the Great was enlightened despot.
What did you put for the homer/illiad one? I said that it correlated well with emperical evidence.</p>

<p>what about the question with the oldest hindu work or something?</p>

<p>was it the mahabharata? rig veda? bhagavad gita?</p>

<p>i also said that south africa was the crown jewel because they had diamond mines and were colonized by the british because of that?</p>

<p>India was crown jewel, rig veda oldest book.</p>

<p>Cattle ranching: Amazon Basin, Argentina, Midwest US</p>

<p>Pretty sure passage was Machiavelli. He advocated social contract, which was the answer to the previous question.</p>

<p>@Daimyo, not in the 1800s. It was northern Mexico, western United States, and Argentina.</p>

<p>DMAzai, I got that too.
Japanese imperial family is descended from sun god, correct?
What about pastoral nomads and settled peoples?</p>

<p>It wasn’t Machiavelli, even though that would have been a very good answer. It was probably Frederick II, in a letter to Voltaire or something, justifying why enlightened despotism was the best choice of government.</p>

<p>I don’t think they would have looked at Machiavelli for a question like that.</p>

<p>wooh sorry about the enlightened despot thing, I meant Louis XIV, but then again, PoliticalProtege is right its Frederick the Great (or Frederick II in the test)</p>

<p>I remember putting an answer with Argentina, now I can’t remember which one I put because I was stuck between two (I had no clue about cattle ranching, so I took a guess), so I’m just gonna take your word for it on that one lmao</p>

<p>And yeah Japan descended from sun god.</p>

<p>So the previous answer was not social contract?</p>
