History exam tomorrow ~ how would you answer these essay questions?
Hello- Regarding the Age of Anxiety: World War One had brought unprecedented destruction to the world and the Treaty of Versailles, which Woodrow Wilson had envisioned as the instrument of permanent peace, created more problems than it solved. The harsh treatment of Germany, the failure to resolve colonial claims of the Allied powers, and the political upheaval which had begun in Russia but soon spread to other nations together with a massive worldwide economic depression led waste to established values and caused cultural transformations and abandonment of traditional ideas on a scale never before seen. Belief in the superiority of European social and political institutions crumbled while bold new cultural paths emerged. Even the belief in Newtonian physics, considered immutable, was soon challenged. Uncertainty and Change in the Postwar World: The Great War had been enthusiastically supported by European and American intellectuals, who saw it as a great adventure. The harsh realities of the war left them disillusioned about war and human nature itself. The result was a feeling of despair and fatalism. A number of American writers, such as T.S. Eliot and Ernest Hemingway, left America for Europe where they expressed their revulsion with the war in their work. Their disillusionment was so great that Gertrude Stein, also an American author once remarked to Ernest Hemingway, "All you young people who fought in the war; you are a lost generation. The phrase lost generation came to describe all these writers, famous for such works as Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms, and The Sun Also Rises. Among the more famous European writers was Erich Maria Remarque, who wrote All Quiet on the Western Front. Hope this can help!

I need help with this AP European History essay topic!?
"a child of the enlightenment" ? Well there are places in which I would agree and disagree. From that statement, I'd assume it means that Napoleon was more liberal minded than most and his attitudes reflected both conservative and liberal beliefs (depending on the topic) 1) The French Revolution saw equal rights being given to women for the first time in French history. A very liberal move. However, when Napoleon came into power, he revoked this change in favor of increased stability for France overall (a more conservative move and not a product of the enlightenment). 2) Napoleon was a very innovative military commander but I would not say that this means he is "liberal" because of that specifically. However, Napoleon's victories across Europe created a massive upheaval of the social order of Europe. This by its very nature was very threatening to the monarchies of Europe. These monarchies fought Napoleon not for land or money, but instead for their own survival (institutions exerting power / force in order to keep the status quo of the institution intact). 2a) Napoleon's extensive use of "ctizen-soldiers" created massive changes for how wars were fought from then on. It used to be that the fighting was done by those of "noble" blood, but now the entire citizenry was mobilized to fight and every other country involved had to institute these new changes in order to have a chance at defeating Napoleon. 3) The Napoleonic Code: Freedom of religion, removal of restrictions based upon one's birth, and government jobs being given out based upon merit instead of based upon the old system. Napoleon put this code in place in every area he conquered and it stayed in place even AFTER he was removed from power. This was a very liberal policy. So uh just to give a summary or whatnot. #1 = disagree. #2 and #3 = agree. That should get you started. For more ideas refer to this link on "Napoleon's legacy" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_I_...
United states history regents tomorrow?
i'm also taking the regents tomorrow and i think that studying about WW1 ,WW2, Cold War, Progressive Era, Civil Rights Movement, Great Depression, Colonial Era, Women Suffrage, Slavery, Constitutional Court Cases..etc. would help. From my observations, those topics are usually stressed and thrown around much in my US History class. It's good if you go over the notes or handouts that your US History teacher have given you through out the year. GOOD LUCK ! :)

HELP! IB History HL exam paper 2 and 3 TIPS!?
I'm not exactly sure what you are supposed to be writing about, but I always think of it as this; As the writer, it is basically your job to convince the reader of something. Whether it is a paper about immigration reform or why unicorns are real, you still have to pull information from knowledge that you have acquired and use it in a way which it can effectively support your original thesis(in your intro. paragraph). Basically, I think of something I might want to write about, and then I imagine myself saying it. If I mouth the words as I'm typing, it's like I'm telling a story with more fluidity than I did before. Basically, move your hand, and don't stop, it will all come out.
How do I get a 5 on the AP world history exam?
I can not stress this enough. AP World History is super easy if you just study right!As others have said read the rubric and their notes on key ideas. Memorize all of that and try and attach it to other facts from your textbook.It is almost eerie how the same wording from the College Board course description would be on their test.Most importantly focus on the transitions between the eras in history. Focus on what stayed the same and what changed between eras (technology, trade, power, religion, etc).When I took the test I came in with a ton of facts which I thought would help me get a good score. Turns out that it was my study of the transitions and big ideas that got my a 5. The multiple choice section is ridiculously easy mostly conceptual.You need to get yourself to the point where you know the qualities of each time period so well that when faced with a multiple choice question about something you dont know you can think about what was going on and find the most plausible answer.Example: if we are talking about ancient Egypt do you think they were teaming up with the Ottomans to take over Russia or finding new methods of agriculture? Only one of those makes sense when you know the big ideas of that era.Also in the free response section just write something. Even if you don’t know what you are talking about/doing just write. It works sometimes.Some good links:Site with a bunch of resources. Pay attention to the cram packets. They are literally gold. Better than most review books.Course Description (page 44–111)More cram packetsThere is another site with highlights of needed information for a bunch of main ideas… Unfortunately I cant for the life of me find it!Also I thought I should share my timeline of world history. It should give you a basic idea of what was going on in each area of the world during each era. Each horizontal grey section represents a major time period. Enjoy!Disclaimer: I am just a kid. I made this in a couple hours just for myself. It is not meant to be published. Please understand there will be glaring spelling and content errors. Sorry!
