Official December World History Thread

<p>Been up all night playing StarCraft and reading Thomas Hardy …</p>

<p>Must commend you fellows on a job extremely well done… this is a tremendous resource and makes me feel a lot better (I was nervous considering I hadn’t done anything outside of European history since 9th grade, but I’ve missed one of the 81 and omitted three on the entire test… SHOULD be an 800).</p>

<p>Thanks very much.</p>

<p>Resolution for that question, I hope- if anyone has any contradictory evidence I’ll be happy to see it (no sarcasm).</p>

<p>Just wanted to thank General Rak and all the others who spent so much time in compiling everything. Thanks guys and gals :)</p>

<p>So the answer to the Han q. was that Buddhism mixed with local faiths in that time, right?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Thanks, I’ll update the list later. Even better, that means I got one more right on the test. :)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You’re quite welcome.</p>

<p>I just remember there was a excerpt on the specific labor of Native Americans in Spanish colony.</p>

<p>I think one of the quesiton asked what kind of machined was that ( a really weird term, can’t remember right now) used , and i put mining.</p>

<p>and the quesiton followed asks what resources were they trying to find?</p>

<p>the answers included coal, gold and etc…
I put down gold</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Silver.</p>

<p>why not gold?</p>

<p>There was a question that asked what was the pax romana.</p>

<p>Also, there was aquestion that asked which empire had the most influence on the Roman Empire?
answer choices included,
Carthaginian (I put down this one)
Egyptian
Greek
and some other ones</p>

<p>wasn’t the answer Greek</p>

<p>actually I’m not sure, now that I think about it probably is.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Right.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I don’t remember this question, but since both of you’ll do I’ll throw it in.</p>

<p>To General Rak:</p>

<pre><code> How did you you know and study all these specific details?
</code></pre>

<p>I didn’t. I just happened to know that silver formed the basis of the Spanish empire.</p>

<p>Wow, we have the majority of the test compiled! </p>

<p>Could anyone possibly elaborate on the document excerpt mining question? I do not remember it at all.</p>

<p>I think there was also a question to this effect: (quoted text) shows which of the following about the Spanish and how they approached labor for native americans? They used the native’s own system of rotating labor force to their own purpose (mining).</p>

<p>For the gold/silver question, I thought it asked what the Spanish were trying to find, not what they ended up finding. So wouldn’t it be gold because it was part of the three G’s?</p>

<p>as far as I am concerned, I recall the test asking what was the resource most taken from Spanish colonies in S. America. Thats gotta be only silver.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I agree with callthecops2:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s the question with the answer “mining.” I don’t remember the exact phrasing.</p>

<p>lets not abandon this thread…we gotta find the other 6 questions :)</p>
