<p>NOTE: The people of Zimbabwe did NOT fight against the British. Rather the rebel groups fought against the local minority whites who took power after gaining independence peacefully from the British. [Now that I look at it, I should have phrased the question better... sorry].</p>
<p>BTW: the haitian revolution question, i think it was actually touissant l'ouverture who led the rebels, though he died in prison in i think france and his successors were the ones who saw haiti's independence.</p>
<p>a general question to you all: what book did you guys use this year, if you took it in school? and what chapter are you guys on right now?</p>
<p>we used "traditions and encounters: a global perspective on teh past". and we finished like 5-6 weeks ago. were on highway review and its going rough :<</p>
<p>We use the Bulliet et al Earth and Its People, edition III.
What is the significance of Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa, and what where the major advancements created in these and around 200 other cities in this civilization?
and
How did the opening of Melaka affect world trade?</p>
<p>A:They were Indus River Valley civilization cities. These cities had been rebuilt many times due to the Indus Valley overflowing. The Indus civilization had a writing system that had not been deciphered. What else?</p>
<p>All I know about Melaka is that Zheng He went there, and that the Portueguese traded spices there? Someone else answer.</p>
<p>Is Melaka also spelled Malacca? if it is, then I think Malacca was a center of trade for China, Japan, and SE Asian and Portugal violently took over it, making it one of their bases i think?</p>
<p>i took it two years ago and i got a 5, it was the first and the easiest ap i've taken. barron's is the best way to go for this one. shorter than the others although hopelessly boring. read through notes if u have any. but def read through the entire review book and do the practice exams. more than 70% rite with good essays is a 5.</p>
<p>yeah we are finishing the book but we havent done any writing at all yet. so we will be rushing to finish the class anyway. what does your class have planned after the ap test? my teacher is making us keep working....we have to do projects and term papers.</p>
