<p>bump.......</p>
<p>beatlespwr, the AP exam will not have that level of obscurity in its questions. </p>
<p>Just think about it. That kind of question you asked is way too detailed; the testmakers will not care which specific member of a family allowed for an invasion of another country . . .</p>
<p>Not trying to put you down or anything.</p>
<p>haha... its so cool looking at you guys cramming for the Euro AP exam since I took it last year. </p>

</p>
<p>Isn't the Temple of Reason what Notre-Dame's name was changed to during the French Revolution?</p>
<p>Yes it is. New Question: </p>
<p>Who was the Western German chanceller that tried to reconcile with the east through Ostpolitik?</p>
<p>I haven't learned about this yet (we've only done up to unification of Germany in class, and I've only studied through the Bolshevik Revolution), so I looked it up. Is it Willy Brandt?</p>
<p>What was the "Great Fear"?</p>
<p>The Great Fear was a series of riots and revolts among the French peasantry after rumors were spread that the noble classes were going to run through peasant farms in groups and sabotage the crops. This resulted in peasants raiding the homes of their lords and destroying any documents that bound them to the land (ie Feudal documents). Therefore, it was the end of serfdom in France for good. Btw, this was during the French revolution.</p>
<p>Q: What effect did the Arab Oil Embargo have on European economies?</p>
<p>(Yeah, it's Willy Brandt) </p>
<p>The Arab Oil Embargo caused oil prices to rise dramatically. Oil exporting countries accumulated vast wealth, while in the West, the oil embargo caused inflation and economic recession.</p>
<p>What did the Troppau Protocol state?</p>
<p>I have no idea. Never even heard of it. <em>looks it up</em> </p>
<p>"States, which have undergone a change of government due to revolution, the result of which threaten other states, ipso facto cease to be members of the European Alliance, and remain excluded from it until their situation gives guarantees for legal order and stability. If, owing to such alterations, immediate danger threatens other states the powers bind themselves, by peaceful means, or if need be, by arms, to bring back the guilty state into the bosom of the Great Alliance." At the Congress of Troppau which was arranged to discuss the revolution in Naples in 1820. </p>
<p>New Question: </p>
<p>What caused the fall of the Soviet Union?</p>
<p>Damn I hate my class we never got to post WWII. I need to read up on that stuff.</p>
<p>OK new question:</p>
<p>What was the Humiliation of Olmutz and how was it avenged?</p>
<p>BTW, the actual AP exam will not go as detailed as the questions asked here. I took a practice College Board exam and it really focuses on a student's ability to analyze and apply basic knowledge rather than remember detailed facts.</p>
<p>fall of Soviet Union - late 1900s, east europe new, reforming leadership (death of stalin 1953 --> kruschnev --> breshnev --> gorbachev ), revolts (east germany, hungary, poland's solidarity movement), and countries pursuing their own policy (yugoslavia's tito says he's pursuing his own socialism, poland's communist govt lets solidarity be legal competing party), and 1990s - fall of communism = e. europe countries holding elections </p>
<p>humiliation of olmutz = after 1848 austria revolt, prussia's king rejects frankfurt assembly's request to be king of germany, prussia accepts austria's dominance, avenged by bismarck 1871 creation german empire</p>
