The World History Study Thread!

<p>If there is a APEH one, there should be a APWH one.</p>

<p>Since I just finished reviewing 1750-1914, I'll give a question related to that time period:</p>

<p>Which African peoples put up the strongest resistance to European armed forces?</p>

<p>A) the Asante and the Zulu
B) the Bantu and the Swazi
C) the Ngoni and the Gaza
D) the Dahomeians and the Fulani
E) the Ndebele and the Tutsi</p>

<p>Not too hard :D!</p>

<p>Hmm… I’m not too sure about this, but I’ll <em>guess</em> A). Didn’t the Zulu fight the Boers in S. Africa? </p>

<p>Do I post a question up now? </p>

<p>Which treaty divided up the Americas (and the rest of the world) between Spain and Portugal?</p>

<p>A) Treaty of Versailles
B) Treaty of Trent
C) Treaty of Tordesillas
D) Treaty of Paris
E) Treaty of Utrecht</p>

<p>Mine is pretty easy too.</p>

<p>I got a 5 on WHAP last year but for old time’s sake: =)</p>

<p>C) Treaty of Tordesillas</p>

<p>What was the Cold-War era nickname that Winston Churchill gave the Berlin wall and the symbolic east-west communist/capitalist divide?</p>

<p>The iron curtain?</p>

<p>How did opium affect Chinese economic policy?</p>

<p>They told Britain to cut it **** out, when they didn’t the Opium Wars started.</p>

<p>@sd6, do you like Alias?</p>

<p>Question: What was War Communism, and when was it used?</p>

<p>@hobbithill, are you referring to the show?</p>

<p>indeed :)</p>

<p>10char</p>

<p>Well, I never really had the opportunity to watch it, considering I wasn’t watching “real” television when I was that age. If it was on right now, it would probably be something I would watch. Why do you ask?</p>

<p>War communism was instituted by Stalin (or was it Lenin =/) which gave the government the power to directly control industry. It meant that the entire nation was fully committed to fighting the war, and all factories produced what the government wanted it to produce. Private ownership was illegal, food was rationed, and overall the government controlled everything. Later this was relaxed and the 5-year plan replaced it.</p>

<p>Germany was on the losing side in both world wars. The consequences for it differed in each; explain why. (Are we asking conceptual questions or multiple-choice type questions?)</p>

<p>Oh crap >.< I’ve only done the first two units. I’ll be right back :)</p>

<p>Sd6 was the name for evil spy corporation in the first few seasons :).</p>

<p>Germany’s huge indemnity after WWI stemmed from major historical grudges from France and Britain, as well as the destruction trench warfare had left in France. It was forced to shrink its armed forces to ensure French security.</p>

<p>After WWII, Germany became more of the battleground between Communism and democracy. As such, both sides wanted to rapidly redevelop their halves to show the ascendancy of their particular ideology. Because Communism did not work so well, East Germany became pretty bad. West Germany relied on its will and Allied aid to get out of its postwar depression.</p>

<p>My question:
What did Henry of Navarre mean when he said “Paris is worth a mass?”</p>

<p>found that, not sure if it helps anyone?</p>

<p>If anyone’s teachers made any study guides/put them online would you mind sending? This is my first AP, and I don’t want to get a bad score. I am reading PR, but my teacher is horrible.</p>

<p>Wow! Awesome link! Thanks :)</p>

<p>Here’s a link to my textbook’s website. It has some good chapter outlines, as well as some really difficult multiple choice questions for each chapter (that are probably harder than the actual exam’s).</p>

<p>Thanks, that’s a great link. Keep em’ coming.</p>

<p>I found this on another part of this site xD:</p>

<p>I also recommend listening to Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire”. It’s actually pretty helpful. =P</p>

<p>I3auer, we have the same book :smiley: What chapter are you working through?</p>

<p>I’ve never actually heard that quote =/. The internet says that he was originally Protestant, but converted to Catholicism to gain the support of the peasants, and eventually he was crowned king. </p>

<p>Is that close?</p>

<p>Q: What things did Rome borrow from Greece?</p>

<p>Woah! Really? What do you think of it? I’m not a huge fan of it, as there are a few discrepancies in it. </p>

<p>I’d never heard of that quote either, but I’ve just now reading Unit 3.</p>

<p>“Q: What things did Rome borrow from Greece?”</p>

<p>I’ll make a list to see how much I remember:</p>

<p>– The religious pantheon of gods and goddesses, with alternate names.
– Greek scientific thought and processes.</p>

<p>Crud, I didn’t remember much :slight_smile: Now I’m looking the rest up:</p>

<p>– Social structure (nobles, freemen (citizens), and slaves)
– Further forms of representative government (adjusting democracy to republic)
– Women considered inferior to men.
– Slavery was important (up to one-third of the population)
– Expansion of art forms </p>

<hr>

<p>Which of the following was NOT an act of Pope Innocent III?</p>

<p>A) He issued strict decrees on church doctrine.
B) Heretics were frequently persecuted.
C) Jews were often persecuted.
D) A fourth crusade was attempted and resulted in the sacking of Constantinople and the declaration of a Latin Empire.
E) A setting in the motions of inquisition, a formalized interrogation and persecution process of heretics.</p>

<p>I wanted to ask… what strategies do you use to help retain the information over 8000 or so years worth of history? I find that I can remember the more basic stuff but have trouble memorizing specific names or what the names were about, so to speak.</p>

<p>I’m facing a similar problem. Here is what I am doing:</p>

<p>– Making enormous timelines covering the main events of each unit
– Defining all vocab words again in detail according to their relevance (people, communities, events, empires, etc).</p>

<p>Ahh… What I plan on doing over the next two weeks is just reading through my PR guide as many times as I am able to, as I find I learn material better by reading it repeatedly instead of taking notes.</p>

<p>I’m also writing a practice essay every day or so, alternating between the three types.</p>
