<p>Who was the sailor and traveler for China?
People call him the Ibn Battuta of China.</p>
<p>Zheng He, had 7 voyages, as far as Southern Africa. He was the admiral of some of the largest fleets in the world, should have China kept their navy, they would have easily discovered America and defeat Europe (atleast I think).</p>
<p>However, I think there is another traveler called Ibn Battuta, but I dont think he was for China.. :-/ Correct me if I am wrong.</p>
<p>Question: What was the primary goal of the Meji Restoration?</p>
<p>To modernize Japan, so it could become more like the west, and Japan did so showing off its military might in the Russo-Japaneese War.</p>
<p>Yes, Ibn Battuta was a Muslim scholar, who traveled around the world.</p>
<p>Which country began the Age of Exploration?
Hint: Prince Hentry the Navigator financed the expedition.</p>
<p>Q: Which country began the Age of Exploration?</p>
<p>Easy :P Especially for a AP Euro student. </p>
<p>A: Portugal, they were one of the first Europeans to colonize west africa I believe, aswell as go around Africa into India. They established key colonies in West Africa which later served as large centers for the African Slave Trade and the Columbian Exchange.</p>
<p>Q: Name some effects on the world of the Mongol conquests, aswell as their effects in key regions like Mid East and China.</p>
<p>Q: Name some effects on the world of the Mongol conquests, aswell as their effects in key regions like Mid East and China.</p>
<p>A) World: facilitated trade between europe and asia, spread bubonic plague
China: yuan dynasty, chinese civil service examination was not reinstated, ummm merchants got a higher status than before, intermarriage was illegal
Middle East: a lot of people were slaughtered at the capture of Baghdad, i think also the abbasid caliph was killed.</p>
<p>Q) Name as many chinese dynasties as you can.</p>
<p>Q) Name as many chinese dynasties as you can.</p>
<p>A: Shang, Zhou, Han, Sui, T'ang, Song, Ming, Manchu/Qing</p>
<p>I think thats the right order of succession, not including the warring and feudal periods which I think were between Han and Sui and between Zhou and Han.</p>
<p>Sorry, but this is my AP World study hour, which is pretty much for most of the day, for the next couple days. :P</p>
<p>Q: What was the main cause of the Crusades?</p>
<p>The Crusades occurred because of Christian missionaries wanting to take back the holy land from the Muslims.</p>
<p>Crusades Results: Led to Renaissance
Pope lost a little bit of power
Europeans wanted more spices and luxury items, which began Age of Exploration</p>
<p>Q: What was the main cause of the Crusades?</p>
<p>A) well the goal of the crusades was to push back muslims and protect the christians. i cant really pinpoint a main cause but i guess it could be that the muslim world was strengthening and taking over christian territory?</p>
<p>Q) compare and contrast pastoral nomadism with settled lifestyles.</p>
<p>what score are you hoping for on the test?</p>
<p>Next Question:</p>
<p>Name the empire in Japan that isolated itself from foreigners?</p>
<p>Pastoral nomadism is the domestication of animals, which does not allow people to settle in villages and create a civilization because people are always searching and hunting for food.</p>
<p>tokugawa shogunate.</p>
<p>Wasn't Japan generally isolated for most of its history before imperialism? If there was one era, I would probably say the Tokugawa Shogunate?</p>
<p>I am hoping for 4-5.</p>
<p>yeah if i get lucky with the essays i could probably get a 5. if not it will probably be a high 4.</p>
<p>yeah, my score would probably be dependant on whether the essay is about something I know.. if not, I'm not sure how I'll do. :( I'm definately aiming/hoping for atleast a 4, and a 5 would be great. :D</p>
<p>is this the first ap you guys have taken?</p>
