<p>What maps must we absolutely know for the AP test?</p>
<p>There really aren’t any maps you have to know for the test. The AP will test your knowledge of geopolitical events through maps, though. For example, it might show East and West germany, along with the USSR and ask you which year it is most likely from. Obviously, you know it must be between the end of WWII and 1989. There’s always a clue on the map that will make it clear when it HAS to be from.</p>
<p>Regarding the multi-test, I got 35/38 (2 blank + 1 wrong), I thought it was pretty easy because it focused a lot on the early stuff (renaissance to ind. rev.) which is my strong suit. About this question:</p>
<p>“Renaissance Humanism was a threat to the Church because it
A. espoused atheism
B. denounced Scholasticism
C. denounced neo-Platonism
D. emphasized a return to the original souces of Christianity
E. advanced an amoral philosophy”</p>
<p>The answer is D. By “Church” it is referring to the Catholic Church, which regarded not only Scripture and original sources, but also papal bulls and other precedents as religious authority (a major grievance of Martin Luther, hence “Sola Scriptura”). By emphasizing “a return to the original sources of Christianity” humanists (esp. Erasmus, e.g. his Diatribe Against the Pope) threatened to undermine the more recent layers of Church law and thinking.</p>

A lot of Barrons testing materials have the distinction of usually being harder than the real exam, so they “over prepare” you. I wouldn’t worry too much. Take another practice test and see how if you’re still scoring in that range.</p>
<p>A problem I have is remembering all the treaties and what they mean. If someone here is good at the treaties and stuff, would you mind sharing all the important ones and the meaning? Thanks!</p>

<p>^Awesome link.</p>
<p>quick question: is it Habsburgs or Hapsburgs? or is either okay? I see it spelt both ways…</p>
<p>^I looked it up on wikipedia. They’re interchangeable.</p>
<p>^^^thx for the link.</p>
<p>what exactly about imperialism should I know for this test? I feel like I don’t know very many details about it :/</p>
<p>Both spellings, Habsburgs and Hapsburgs, work perfectly fine.</p>
<p>However, I’m pretty sure that it technically should be spelled Habsburgs based on my knowledge of German. Maybe I’m wrong, though.</p>
<p>@Holla:</p>
<p>Last year the DBQ was on imperialism, so I doubt there’d be an essay on it this year. Of course, you’ll probably still have some mc on it.</p>
<p>good, I’m pretty bad on imperialism. So what are our predictions on FRQs? is the Russian Revolution/Soviet Union a sure thing? role of women in _______ time period (God how I hate these questions…)?</p>
<p>according to crash course, there isprobably going to be a frq on the cold war/role of women</p>
<p>Does anyone else have any good guesses for the FRQ? So far the only thing I’ve heard a lot of is the Cold War and fall of the Soviet Union. Anything else we should pay particular close attention to?</p>
<p>kind of joining in late… what is best study guide- Crash Course?</p>
<p>well i took a practice exam and the multiple choice was ridiculously easy…
dbq will be a real pain though

you MUST use POV. i find that many people have no idea they need to analyze point of view.</p>
<p>I use POV for nearly all the docs I can. POV also counts double for analysis too which makes it even better. </p>
<p>Can anyone help me undestand the main points of hte thirty years war? I never really understood it for some reason</p>
<p>^ Yea, it’d be a good review for me too. Even though we’ve covered it like twice already in this thread :P</p>
<p>It began in Bohemia, when Ferdinand of Styria was crowned king (who was a very strong catholic.) The majority of Bohemians were Protestant though, and became upset with King Ferdinand’s intolerance towards their beliefs. They approached him in what became known as the Defenstration of Prague, throwing two of his key catholic officials out of a window who surrived by landing in a pile of crap.</p>
<p>To everyone’s horror, King Ferdinand became King of the Holy Roman Empire, but the people of Bohemia would not recognize him. This started the war, with Ferdinand trying to control Bohemia and force them to recognize him, but he could only control the region for one season (winter.) This should have ended the war, but it didn’t because soliders wanted to keep earning a living, and other countries (such as Denmark) wanted to make sure Protestants were kept in check (they had just won a major battle over Catholics!) </p>
<p>Ferdinand tried to confinscate land from Northern H.R.E states that were protestant… and was successful. He was successful, that is, until Gustavus Adolpus from Sweden entered the war. The french supported the Swedish, because they were afraid of Haspburg domination over H.R.E. By this point, it was clear that the Thirty Years War was not just a religous war.</p>
<p>The war ended in 1648 with the Peace of Westphalia, recognizing that the Augsburg treaty was still “legit” and that every prince could control what religon their state practiced, including Calvinism now.</p>
<p>That’s my best summary… anyone want to add to it/modify it?</p>
<p>^ Great summary. Concise and to the point.
Is there anything else major pertaining to the Peace of Westphalia? I know it’s one of the major treaties. And just to clarify for everyone, it wasn’t a religious war because Catholic France joined Protestant Sweden against the HRE b/c the French were like oh man the Habsburgs are gonna take over Europe.</p>
<p>Summary of Seven Years War? That one seems to have slipped my mind :/</p>
<p>Just know that the Seven Years War was between Britain in France over colonial territory. This would eventually lead to the cause for Britain to raise taxes for protecting the colonists, making them revolt, etc etc.</p>
