<p>Q: How does the principle of Divine Right differ from the Mandate of Heaven? </p>

<p>Bonus: Compare the Industrial Revolution of England in the 1700s with that of the Song Dynasty in the 1200s.</p>

<p>Q: Name three main satellites of the Soviet Union. Name at least one country that was perceived as a satellite by the United States but was actually more independent.</p>

<p>WERE ANY Multiple-Choice AP World history exams EVER released?</p>

<p>satellites as being Russian-influenced or Russian-controlled?
If the first, Cuba, China (pre 1962), North Korea, Poland
If the second, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Estonia
The US thought Egypt and China (post 1962) were USSR-controlled areas, although they were not; Egypt washed back and forth while China continued on a very disparate Communist path.
