<p>clarification please…
the Yalta Conference was where the three big powers agreed to divide Germany/ Berlin into 4 zones of control, correct? (it was also where Stalin agreed, insincerely apparently, to hold free and fair elections in Poland which he controlled but regardless).
So Potsdam Conference had what to do with Germany??</p>
<p>What was the Nixon Doctrine?</p>
<p>Just a question</p>
<p>How many of you are also taking the SAT 2 US on May 7th along with the AP on May 6th? </p>
<p>No history game playing for me (at least not since my <em>huge</em> binge earlier) …I am all APUSHed out =)</p>
<p>Potsdam Agreement- they clarified the agreements from the Yalta conference. it transferred the chief authority in Germany to Americans, Russians, British, and French military commanders (to the Allied Control Council) In Germany, it outlawed national socialism, abolished Nzai ideology, disarmed Germany, prevented it from becoming a military power, and fostered democratic ideals, introduce representative and elective principals of gov. it decentralized the economy, monopolies were broken up, and the development of agriculture was broken up. some former german trerritory east of the Oder and Neisse rivers was transfered to polish and Soviet admin.</p>
<p>In the fifties, what was the merge of the AF of L and the CIO, what do they stand for? and what did they do?</p>
<p>im taking the SATII too.</p>
<p>Nixon Doctrine-the policy declared by President Nixon in 1969 that the U.S. would supply arms but not military forces to its allies in Asia and elsewhere.</p>
<p>apparently the questions on the SAT II are kind of different than on the AP-like more date specific-and not necessarily about historical trends-like the AP.</p>
<p>the AFL (American federation of labor) was always focused on skilled labor, but John L. Lewis did not agree with this view point, so he led some industrial unions from the AFL to form the CIO (committee for industrial organization) in 1935. In 1955 the two groups got back together to form the AFL-CIO.</p>
<p>Sozo - yea I’ve also heard this
Also I’ve heard that on the SAT2 and AP they sometimes throw in some really random trivia type question(s) that most teachers don’t teach in class…anyone have an example of one of these?</p>
<p>In 1978 what Supreme Court Case declared that colleges could not base college admissions on race alone?</p>
<p>Why did Jackson not want to get involved with the Texas Annexation debate?</p>
<p>The Texas Annexation debate was broiled amidst Northerners who felt that the Southerners wanted it only for its potential as a slavery territory. I suppose he didn’t want to offend either region. That’s a real loose guess.</p>
<p>What was the Morgan Affair of 1826?</p>
<p>uc vs. bakke…to sozo</p>
<p>Morgan affair- that was with the freemasons and morgan threatening to reveal secrets about the freemasons</p>
<p>What was the “cross of gold” speech about?</p>
<p>What was the main objective of the Know-nothing party?</p>
<p>Spets, you are very right.</p>
<p>The Know Nothing Party mainly wanted to purify the country of immigrants; they were a bunch of nativists.</p>
<p>Jackson introduced both nominating conventions and the spoils system. What were they?</p>
<p>to stop the immigrants from interfering in their lives (all aspects…political, social, work-related…)</p>
<p>What was the Native Origins Quota Act?</p>
<p>the “cross of gold” speech was issued by William J. Bryan at the 1896 National Democratic Convention about the policy involving money (he may have referenced the free silver movement and the populists, but I’m not sure)</p>
<p>“In 1978 what Supreme Court Case declared that colleges could not base college admissions on race alone?”-</p>
<p>this was California v. Blake and favored the conservatives. </p>
<p>Barklee v. Board of Regents (I don’t know what year) said that colleges could use race as one criteria for admission.</p>
<p>I don’t know about nominating conventions (probably something to do with giving the power of nominating to the people)…but spoils system was the rotation of cabinet members upon the election of a new President.</p>
