<p>Here is another tough question:</p>
<p>Political violence and armed conflict in the first and last decade of the twentieth century resulted from disputes over the status of what territory?</p>
<p>A. Alsace-Lorraine
B. Poland
C. Belgium
D. Romania
E. Bosnia</p>
<p>I got a 5 last year by flipping through the PR like a week in advance. If you’ve kept up with the coursework, a short refresher such as the PR will easily get you a 5.</p>
<p>Thank you Dark Knight for posting this. It is very helpful.</p>

<p>What is the answer? Is it A?</p>
<p>Dark Knight, do you have any feedback on AP Economics, AP English LIT, and AP Calculus. I usually do well with history and math…Econ teacher doesn’t teach, just gives us the book. Or do you have a seperate thread for any of these (I see you mentioned you have the 2009 ECON). Thanks</p>
<p>@zhangm94 - I don’t think it’s A. Notice “first and last decade of the twentieth century”. Since it said first of the twentieth century, then it means there had been a dispute that led to World War I. And at the last decade, that is after the Cold War, so that is when countries start overthrowing Soviet rule and establishing their own regime. I believe it’s D or E, but more inclined to E, since both are in the Balkans. In the 1900, the Austria-Hungary empire was suffering nationalism and disintegrating and in the 1990s, ethnic cleansing and civil war in that region.</p>
<p>But I can be wrong.</p>
<p>I’m leaning towards E as well</p>
<p>The Alsace-Lorraine dispute was from around 1870 and ended around 1916 I believe.</p>
<p>Thanks dark night for doing this! I’m taking AP Euro this year :] I always find your threads so helpful.</p>
<p>^i believe that it ended at 1918 with the Versailles Treaty. It was disputed between Germany and France.</p>
<p>The correct answer is Bosnia!</p>
<p>Can you answer the two questions in post 20?</p>
<p>Collegesgirl - I will have to do some research on these courses. I would recommend that you go to the College Board Online Store and buy the released tests. That is always a plus.</p>
<p>^yay!!!</p>
<p>The Treaty of Berlin in 1878 reflected general European agreement on which of the following?
A. Reduction of tariffs and trade barriers
B. The status of Poland
C. The building of a railroad to Baghdad
D. Boundaries and spheres of influence in the Balkans
E. Reductions and limits on armaments</p>
<p>Dang. Treaty of Berlin of 1878 - if i remember, I think it’s A. </p>
<p>The French Le Chapelier Law (1791) and the English Combination Acts (1799 - 1800) did which of the following?
A. Raised customs taxes on imports
B. Made workers’ organizations illegal
C. Restricted child labor
D. Provided state health care to railway employees
E. Mandated a minimum wage </p>
<p>A - England was industrializing, but France was in the French Revolution. C - restriction on child labor is during the 1800s. D - railway workers - railroads haven’t been invented yet. E - most of the people that time were artisans/bakers/merchants. So, no factories. But then there’s B, I guess that’s a more reasonable answer since that time, that’s when guilds were finally losing power. I guess B is the correct answer.</p>
<p>well, at least these mc will convince me to reread my textbook again or study more diligently.</p>
<p>I’m immediately going to tell all the AP Euro kids at my school to buy the Crash Course book.</p>
<p>^They will thank you. It really is a very good book.</p>
<p>The Treaty of Berlin - D
English Combination Acts - B</p>
<p>^yay for the second question. first question - i should have taken account of the nationalistic revolts in the Austrian-Hungary Empire during that time.</p>
<p>dark knight, what is your favorite/ the best book for Euro?</p>
<p>I think Princeton Review is good enough for a 5 if you’ve been preparing in class. I speak this from my own experience.</p>
<p>I have the Princeton Review and I really like it, highly recommend.</p>
<p>^scrivener - good question. I will write up a detailed report on the various books that includes both multiple-choice and free-response questions. The results will be surprising. Based upon a detailed analysis of the 2009 released AP Euro exam I recommend using both PR and Crash Course. Princeton Review provides a very good and easy to read narrative that generated a number of great multiple choice hits. However, it was a little weaker on the free-response questions. Crash Course is very efficient. For example, the Key Terms chapter generated 11 hits. The Crash Course TIPS were also really on target. Crash Course performed exceptionally well on the free-response questions. It also contains unique chapters that contain annotated sample essays. I believe this is a big plus. I can definitively state that anyone who uses both PR and CC will be invincible!</p>
<p>^Good question. I have been carefully evaluating how the various prep books performed on the 2009 Released AP European History exam. I will share all of my data in a few days. My conclusion is that Princeton Review and Crash Course are the two best books. PR has a very good easy-to-read narrative that generated a significant number of mulitiple-choice hits. However, PR did not perform quite as well on the free-response essay. Crash Course is provides a very focused and efficient review. For example, the Key Terms chapter generated 11 hits. Crash Course’s TIPS also proved to be very valuable. In addition, Crash Course performed surprisingly well on the essays. The final two chapters provide excellent annotated sample essays. I can definitively state that anyone who studies both PR and Crash Course will be invincible!</p>
