<p>I'm copying this from "The AP US History Study Thread" created by Duffclown65. It seemed pretty popular so I'm starting this one for European History!</p>

<p>"Here's how it works. I'm going to post a question that involves Euro History, the first person to respond with the correct gets the privilege to post another question.</p>

<p>Former test takers are welcome to better supply this thread with questions they recall from the actual AP test. Also, any general advice is always welcome."</p>

<p>So, here we go...</p>

<p>The U-2 incident involved what two world leaders?</p>

2

<p>Eisenhower and Khrushchev.</p>

<p>What Italian city-state was dominated by the Sforza family during the renaissance?</p>

3

<p>milan</p>

<p>and...yay i love this thread!</p>

4

<p>oh question-
what was Luther ans Zwigli (sp) main difference in thier beliefs?</p>

5

<p>test was pretty easy last year. good luck for the same to you kids :-)</p>

6

<p>Zwingli was more socially involved. He called for more social reforms rather than the conservative Luther. Zwingli also was very strict with sacrements and saw the Last Supper as a remembrance of Jesus rather than an actual event.</p>

<p>The quote, "God is dead" by Nietzsche is commonly associated with what -ism? And what did he mean by it -- his view on God on and modern Christianity?</p>

7

<p>Existentialism--he meant that modern Christianity is more set on organization and less on actual belief. He believed God was "dead" because Christians had stopped believing in him long ago, and instead are plagued with a guilt trip, reflecting on folly of society and groups.
That was long, wow.</p>

<p>Name 4 causes of 19th century urbanization in Western Europe.</p>

8

<p>Correct</p>

<ul>
<li>Improving sanitation (Bacterial Revolution)</li>
<li>Technological advances in transporation</li>
<li>More opportunities in an indutrializing region</li>
<li>Increasing city size and moving away from the crowded urban- housing stereotype.</li>
</ul>

<p>Most are subjective, but that's what I would put for an FRQ, removing whichever body point I felt I had least evidence for.</p>

9

<p>That's actually a good idea.</p>

<p>For this thread, instead of asking just straight MC questions, you can ask FRQ-type prompts and then the next poster just writers what their 3 body paragraphs would be about.</p>

<p>So, make up your own prompts</p>

<p>An idea: Compare and contrast the use of anti-semitism to achieve goals of the state in Spain under Ferdinand & Isabella and Germany under Hitler.</p>

10

<p>Spain: after muslim dominance, felt need to create a purely Christian nation.
Germany: scapegoat - hitler blamed jews for everything</p>

<p>What was the Lenin's purpose in introducing the New Economic Plan?</p>

11

<p>To increase productivity-viewed by Stalin as "selling out" b/c was a compromise with capitalism.</p>

<p>Discuss similarities between the French and Russian Revolutions in:
-motives
-how they achieved their goals
-policies and measures taken</p>

12

<p>Oh and also you could say for the anti-semitism one (for a contrast): Spanish monarchs' policies towards Jews molded by popular feeling; in German, popular feeling molded by leader's policies</p>

13

<p>bumppppppppppppppppp</p>

14

<p>[Quoute]Discuss similarities between the French and Russian Revolutions in:

<p>In what were the three tenets of the Congress of Vienna</p>

17

<p>anyone have the Barrons review book? i got it and think it sucks.</p>

18

<p>The Congress of Vienna established territorial changes like the creation of the Germainc Confederation, restored the conservative order in Europe like replacing France's monarch, and it prevented another war in Europe for at least hundred years by marking a silent alliance among the participating nations to stop the rise of a power-hungry autocrat like Napoleon.</p>

19

<p>Gerry Adams -- To get England out of Northern Ireland</p>

<p>This treaty was responisble for the creation of the EU in 1992</p>
