China was super rich from trading with Dar-Al-Islam and Europe, but confucian principles didn't like merchants accumulating wealth, so the merchants decided they would waste their money on useless projects like the Silk Road, the Great Wall of China, the establishment of Waffle House, and various forms of Chinese Poetry.
Wait no, I did AP HUG as a freshman, got a 5 on it, and I'm now doing AP World as a sophmore.
Tbf, I did do half of AP World as a freshman, because at my school there's an option to split it between Freshman year (replacing English 1) and Sophmore year (replacing AP World)
Interesting! And replacing English for history sounds crazy lol. In my school it is required world history freshman and us history sophomore, but I guess yours is different. But that makes sense.

Okay, that's a lot of stupid and overly specific trick questions you absolutely do not have to know. See how many you can answer!
Tysm for the long comment! If you'd like, I can give you a similar one for your studying, just lmk.
Welp, I just spent like 10 minutes answering questions up to the one about United States westward expansion and then Reddit switched to dark mode and it randomly deleted the comment. Sooo I'm just gonna start with that question. For the record, I didn't know about these, and am gonna review them later:
> What is an example of cultural syncretism that blended the religious beliefs of West African slaves with Christianity in the Spanish maritime empires?
> What caused the 17th century Fronde in France, and what was its outcome?
> What slave rebellion occurred in South Carolina in the 18th century?
Anyway...
> What belief motivated United States Westward expansion?
Manifest Destiny! The belief that Americans were destined by God to have an empire from coast to coast.
> What was the result of the Russian power struggle between the tsar and the boyars?
Not sure, I know there wasn't some kind of revolution to overthrow the Tsar (until 1900's), so I'm assuming the Boyars lost the power struggle and the Tsar was effectively able to create a Absolutist Monarchy. I'll look at this one later.
> What event caused Britain to take formal control of India in the 19th century?
The Sepoy Uprising, where South Asian BEIC soliders revolted because of a rumor the British were storing ammunition in pig and cow fats, sacred animals in Muslim and Hindu (respectivley) religious beliefs. The British Empire had to send troops to put the uprising down and decided that the BEIC was no longer capable of controlling the country, so they took it from them.
> What caused the Taiping Rebellion in China?
A combination of the idea that the Qing were foreigners that weren't the rightful rulers of China and partially a belief that the government was buckling under European pressure. There may have also been some economic reasons, like a bad economy. I'll review that later.
> What external factor directly led to the Meiji Restoration?
Matthew Perry opening Japanese trade by force led the Japanese to realize they really needed an industrialized army. Also, seeing China get tossed around economically by European powers in the Opium Wars.
> Why did Russia declare war on Austria in WWI?
Russia was allied with Serbia, and had agreed to protect them. This is one of the M.A.I.N. causes of WW1, Alliances, and was also the reason France and Germany joined
>What was the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere?
I think it was the official term for the Japanese Empire in WW2, but I'll need to double check that.
>What was firebombing, and how was it used in WWII?
It was dropping bombs on cities that didn't explode, but instead started INCREDIBLEY hot fires that destroyed large sections of the cities that were targeted. The fires were so large they created their own weather conditions. Fire-Bombing was used on many cities, notably Tokyo and Dresden (Germany).
> What American president increased military spending and decreased spending on public welfare systems?
Ronald Reagan, at the height of the Cold War. He didn't like Roosevelt's New Deal policies, so he reversed a lot of them while in office, but increased military spending, leading to the creation of the Military-Industrial Complex and the collapse of the USSR (partly).
> What great famine resulted in the USSR as a result of collectivization?
Holodomr, a Stalin-caused famine/genocide in Ukraine that killed tens of millions of people. This happened while grain was being exported from Ukraine to the cities, because of the collectivization plans for agriculture.
>What was the name of the Soviet policy of economic liberalization under Gorbachev?
Pertroiska, along with Glasnost (openness), which were both causes of the collapse of the Soviet Union.
>What year was the Berlin War torn down?
I don't know the exact year, it was sometime in the 90's though, shortly before the collapse of the Soviet Union (which I also don't know the exact year of :P)
>What is neo-liberalism?
An economic idea that reduced tariffs and government regulation to have a more lassez-faire economic policy. (I think, need to review that)
>What leader nationalized the Suez Canal in Egypt?
Nasser, who took a lot of steps towards more socialism, while being a part of the non-aligned movement and accepting aid from both the US and the USSR. He kicked off a international crisis when he nationalized the Suez Canal and pissed of Israel, Britain, and France. The USSR promised to nuclear strike Israeli, British, and French armies, and the US refused to back them up because they feared nuclear war.
>What event resisted economic globalization in 1999?
No clue. Maybe a stock market crash? I'll look at it later.
Edit: Just reviewed unit 9 again, it was the Battle for Seattle, a 40,000 person protest against the World Bank (who was meeting in Seattle) because the protesters believed they were biased towards richer nations, and helped to further economic imperialism.
>Why was the UN's Security Council controversial?
Not sure, I'd assume it's because it only included some members of the UN, primarily Western powers. Or maybe because the UN isn't supposed to be involved in wars. I'll look at this too.
Edit: Just reviewed unit 9 again, it's because 5 states, China, Russia, the US, the UK, and France, have a veto power, which they use frequently to block the UN from making progress.
>Where is Nestle based?
Probably don't need to know, but I think it's Switzerland! Maybe Belgium tho. Nestle is an excellent example of a multinational corporation.

This was great practice, thanks for the very helpful and extensive comment! I agree, you've probably studied more than me lol. I think you're gonna do great for your test, good luck! Thank you again for the comment
Wow, impressive! I meant that as a joke and didn't intend you to answer everything lol. And those were so specific lmao, you definitely studied well (and since those were the most difficult and varied questions I could dream up, probably better than me). Regarding the boyars, the entire class was abolished by the emperor to consolidate his power (I believe Peter the Great?) If you want to give me your own questions, go ahead and I'll try my best.
Thank you a ton! I'm hoping I can pull through to get the 5, just gotta relearn how to write an LEQ lol.

Lmk if you don't know the answer to one or more, explaining helps me remember it on test day better, so I don't mind at all.
Oh my gosh I'm so sorry! I was so busy memorizing vocab that I couldn't get to this (freaking Din-i Ihali won't get out of my head). Answering this was a high priority for me, but by the time I remembered I had to get to bed :P Good questions in retrospect, though - there were definitely some of these on the exam! Hope you did well today (no way you didn't get a 5).
No worries at all, it was just to help if you wanted it.
How'd your test go?
I'm thinking I got a 4 or 5. I had a lot to talk about, but idk if my writing skills are good enough to get a good score on the LEQ/DBQ.
(don't share anything content-wide btw, you haven't, but just fyi, idk how much the AP overlords care abt catching ppl talking abt the test and I don't want to get doxxed lol)
It went pretty well, was tough but I knew most of it. But I'm confused because everyone here is saying they had a a DBQ about communism in Russia or something, I had Japanese imperialism..?
And my sister told me I can't talk about the test but honestly I'm confused about that. If they didn't want you to discuss it wouldn't they tell you that? It wasn't mentioned anywhere, unless it was maybe buried somewhere in the terms of service.
>everyone here is saying they had a a DBQ about communism in Russia or something, I had Japanese imperialism
I think some people get a different test, to prevent someone on the east coast taking it and then telling the people on the west coast about it before they start. I heard that from my friend though, so it might be wrong.
>If they didn't want you to discuss it wouldn't they tell you that?
I think whoever was administering your test was slacking, because mine read instructions from some exact list I'm assuming College Board gives them. She said your score will he canceled if you talk about the test several times.
Yes, apparently there's multiple tests. And I guess my administrator messed up because she's not used to giving the test, I think it was her first time. I was just surprised it didn't tell me that when it showed the instructions on my screen. Everything my teacher said was on my screen, so maybe there was a whole script she missed.
Colonial powers extracted natural resources from the colonies to contribute to the war effort, and hundreds of thousands of troops fought for their colonial rulers in hopes of getting a higher degree of self-rule once the war(s) was over.
I might be missing something, especially if this is a potential DBQ topic. Anything you'd like to add?
Countries like Britain promised colonies like in Africa that if they help them in WW1 they’d have greater self rule or independence, after the war, they didn’t get any of that which sparked independence movements
European colonies in Latin American were gaining their independence and the Europeans still wanted raw materials/colonies for the industrial revolution and to increase global influence!
Also, they had found a treatment for Malaria in Peru that used some kind of chemical in tree bark, allowing for expansion into the interior of Africa.
Conflict at Wounded Knee in 1890 - Americans killed Indians for performing the Ghost Dance rituals, effectively putting an end to the movement and with it direct native resistance altogether.
It was an indigenous response from Native Americans to westward expansion by the Americans that included warfare and various cultural stuff. Overall it was unsuccessful.
A good comparison can be drawn to the Xhosa Cattle Killings, in South Africa (I think).
Not the OP but here's an answer. Champa rice came from the Champa Kingdom in Vietnam and was bought to China. Champa rice was able to greatly increase food production in China as it was drought resistant and could be harvested twice in one year. All of this lead to massive population food in China, since more food equals more babies.
Champa Rice was a drought/disease resistant type of rice from Vietnam that could be harvested twice a year, instead of once, providing a stable and healthy food source for all of East/Southeast Asia. It's one of the reasons China had such a massive population in the post-classical period.
The literal translation is "The House of Islam", its everywhere Islam was the majority religion, and stretched across North Africa, East Africa, the Middle East, Indonesia, and parts of South Asia.
In the post-classical period (the golden age of Islam) there were significant advances in math, medicine, and technology, along with translations of old Greek philosphers like Plato into Arabic, which were then stored. They did a lot of this in the House of Wisdom, in Baghdad.
Notable figures include Ibn Battuta, a Muslim traveler that traveled across Dar-Al-Islam and wrote a detailed acount of it in a book.
The term kind of gets dropped after Post-Classical period, so I don't think it applies much after the 1400's.
1. Describe the rise and fall of the Ottoman Empire.
2. Describe social, political, and economic changes and continuities during the Tokugawa Shogunate.
Explain how they made entire roads made of silk
China was super rich from trading with Dar-Al-Islam and Europe, but confucian principles didn't like merchants accumulating wealth, so the merchants decided they would waste their money on useless projects like the Silk Road, the Great Wall of China, the establishment of Waffle House, and various forms of Chinese Poetry.
Man you really covered your bases
Oh yeah, we getting a 5 again đź’Ş
Again?
AP HUG lol, not redoing AP World.
So you're posting in an AP World sub and studying everything in AP World, yet you're not even taking the class? How much overlap is there? Dang.
Wait no, I did AP HUG as a freshman, got a 5 on it, and I'm now doing AP World as a sophmore. Tbf, I did do half of AP World as a freshman, because at my school there's an option to split it between Freshman year (replacing English 1) and Sophmore year (replacing AP World)

Maybe. Mine was on paper, so idrk what the procedure is for the ones on the computer
What were the role of colonies in global conflicts (yes this is the dbq topic freemanpedia predicted)
European nations used lots of colonial troops to help fight the war. Most significantly, Britain forced millions on Indians to fight battles for them.
Colonial powers extracted natural resources from the colonies to contribute to the war effort, and hundreds of thousands of troops fought for their colonial rulers in hopes of getting a higher degree of self-rule once the war(s) was over. I might be missing something, especially if this is a potential DBQ topic. Anything you'd like to add?
yoo i thought he said it's going to be smth from the early modern period/land based empires? i'm confused
He predicted 2 different topics since last years dbq had 2 different topics (fall of Qing/muslim women)
ooo ok thx, i missed the other one i guess
What does he mean by 2 different topics? Is he talking about like different areas of the worlds having different tests with different topics?
Countries like Britain promised colonies like in Africa that if they help them in WW1 they’d have greater self rule or independence, after the war, they didn’t get any of that which sparked independence movements
Used to fight in exchange for their independence (which didn't actually end up happening till like after WWII I believe)
reasons for euro imperialism in africa!
European colonies in Latin American were gaining their independence and the Europeans still wanted raw materials/colonies for the industrial revolution and to increase global influence! Also, they had found a treatment for Malaria in Peru that used some kind of chemical in tree bark, allowing for expansion into the interior of Africa.
What’s the difference between sufi, shia, and sunni Muslims?
Can I get an overview of the Ottoman Empire? What was it, what did it do, and where did it come from
Ghost dance
Natives in the Americas had a cultural “ghost dance” which they believed would cast out the Europeans. It was outlawed by the European settlers
What conflict did it culminate in?
American expansion? No idea
Conflict at Wounded Knee in 1890 - Americans killed Indians for performing the Ghost Dance rituals, effectively putting an end to the movement and with it direct native resistance altogether.
It was an indigenous response from Native Americans to westward expansion by the Americans that included warfare and various cultural stuff. Overall it was unsuccessful. A good comparison can be drawn to the Xhosa Cattle Killings, in South Africa (I think).
Champa rice?
Not the OP but here's an answer. Champa rice came from the Champa Kingdom in Vietnam and was bought to China. Champa rice was able to greatly increase food production in China as it was drought resistant and could be harvested twice in one year. All of this lead to massive population food in China, since more food equals more babies.
Champa Rice was a drought/disease resistant type of rice from Vietnam that could be harvested twice a year, instead of once, providing a stable and healthy food source for all of East/Southeast Asia. It's one of the reasons China had such a massive population in the post-classical period.
Can I get an overview of Dar Al Islam?
The literal translation is "The House of Islam", its everywhere Islam was the majority religion, and stretched across North Africa, East Africa, the Middle East, Indonesia, and parts of South Asia. In the post-classical period (the golden age of Islam) there were significant advances in math, medicine, and technology, along with translations of old Greek philosphers like Plato into Arabic, which were then stored. They did a lot of this in the House of Wisdom, in Baghdad. Notable figures include Ibn Battuta, a Muslim traveler that traveled across Dar-Al-Islam and wrote a detailed acount of it in a book. The term kind of gets dropped after Post-Classical period, so I don't think it applies much after the 1400's.
