<p>I’m pretty sure the answer to the Ghandi question is satyagraha (pressure for social and political reform through friendly passive resistance). I’m sure Ghandi would have focused less on the caste system than on independence for India.</p>
<p>omg. what kind of WORD is that!? i’m indian and i’ve never heard of it!!!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The question was: what artifacts / items found in Great Zimbabwe suggest that it was part of the international trade network?</p>
<p>The answer was definitely: Chinese and Indian artifacts. I believe that was choice (E).</p>

<p>You were right to pick France, of course. Your reasoning could’ve gotten you in trouble, though. France held that territory in 1750 (the time period of the question), but lost it during the Seven Year’s War to Spain. It only gained it back after Napoleon invaded Spain, and then quickly sold it to the Americans.</p>

<p>Gandhi definitely wanted to [reform</a> the caste system](<a href=“http://www.bfg-muenchen.de/caste.htm]reform”>http://www.bfg-muenchen.de/caste.htm). And the Taj Mahal was an example of Mughal architecture.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That was “support for the caste system” without a doubt.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s right, BUT the question was asking what specifically Gandhi sought to reform. He wanted to reform the caste system, he didn’t really want (or need) to reform the process of satyagraha, since he himself had constructed it.</p>

<p>quotation by the Japanese Poet = shintoism or Zen Buddhism ?</p>
<p>That preface to the samurai novel showed the influence of Zen Buddhism, I believe, because of the abstract themes, flowery writing, and use of metaphor.</p>
<p>phew, glad i guessed right on that one. that was a toughie. what exactly IS zen buddhism btw?</p>
<p>[Zen</a> Buddhism](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_Buddhism]Zen”>Zen - Wikipedia).</p>
<p>I would argue for the “secret revolution” question that the answer was mussolini. If I remember correctly, he was the inventor of the “secret police” idea that Hitler later emulated with the Gestapo. I remember my Euro History teacher saying that if one’s ideas were “counter-revolutionary” one would get a visit from the secret police where they would force feed you castor oil (which would seriously F you up for days, youd make a full recovery though).</p>
<p>although i didnt actually look that quote up so im not 100% sure</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The quote wasn’t discussing anything to do with “secret police” or what would happen after a revolution. The quote was discussing how to go about overthrowing the existing regime.</p>
<p>what’s mahayana/theravada buddhism?</p>
<p>don’t remember the order, but one is awsomely strict, and the other one is more open (thus, would be possible to follow by common people).</p>
<p>Theravada is the more orthodox version with fewer followers, while Mahayana is the widely known variety that encompasses Zen and American Buddhism. Just in case you’re wondering, Mahayana Buddhism places more emphasis on the Buddha as a personal savior, but I think we already discussed this.</p>
<p>Was an answer concerning the superiority of Ottoman armies determined? Was it because of their large numbers or was it that they had a powerful navy? Or was it another answer that I can’t remember right now… lol?</p>
<p>You mean the Muslim Army? I think the answer was that the Byzantines and Sassanids were politically weak.</p>
<p>when you think about it, Hitler’s form of revolution was far from secret. mein kampf made a detailed plan of exactly what he planned to do and sold millions of copies before the nazis took complete power. Lenin was also fairly straightforward in his revolutionary practices. I do specifically remember covert and secretive tactics being mentioned, not just overthrowing a regime (which all three of them did). Mussolini, however was sly enough to actually get King Victor Emmanuel to support the fascist takeover. ok, so basically he lied and was secretive about everything every step of the way to Rome. having said that, it turns out that you’re right…i looked it up, it’s lenin (“what is to be done”). damn. you win. though lenin does argue that secrecy doesn’t jive with the socialist movement. it seemed much more fascist to me.</p>
<p>Hitler wrote Mein Kampf while in prison because he and his band attempted a secret overthrow of the Bavarian state government, so that was my reasoning. But damn, I guess not.</p>
<p>Can anyone help me to figure out the newest curve?</p>
<p>They still better have a good curve cause this was a toughie… I have the Real SAT II’s book and it says 80/95 = 800… do you think the new curve would be less generous?</p>
<p>Nash,</p>
