1. Which Song dynasty practice did the most to support a bureaucracy chosen by merit rather than birth?
- A. Hereditary command of the imperial army
- B. Selling government offices to wealthy merchants
- C. Civil service examinations based on Confucian texts
- D. Monastic examinations run by Buddhist orders
Toon antwoord en uitleg
Antwoord: C. Civil service examinations based on Confucian texts
Song rulers expanded the civil service examinations and drew officials from a wider pool of educated men. Success depended on mastery of Confucian learning, which tied the bureaucracy to Confucian values. Aristocratic families still held advantages, but the exams made merit a real path into government.
2. What feature of the Indian Ocean basin helped make long-distance sea trade there regular and predictable?
- A. Seasonal monsoon winds that reverse direction
- B. A canal that joined it to the Mediterranean
- C. Year-round ice-free ports along every coast
- D. A single empire that controlled every harbor
Toon antwoord en uitleg
Antwoord: A. Seasonal monsoon winds that reverse direction
Monsoon winds blow one way for part of the year and the other way for the rest. Sailors could ride them out and back on a schedule, which tied East Africa, Arabia, India and Southeast Asia into one trading world. No single empire controlled the whole network.
3. Which factors helped the Black Death spread across Afro-Eurasia in the fourteenth century?
Selecteer alles wat van toepassing is.
- A. Railroads that carried travelers between cities
- B. Crowded, growing towns where disease passed easily
- C. Fleas on rats that traveled with caravans and ships
- D. Printed pamphlets that spread the infection
- E. Trade routes under Mongol rule that linked distant regions
Toon antwoord en uitleg
Antwoord: B. Crowded, growing towns where disease passed easily, C. Fleas on rats that traveled with caravans and ships, E. Trade routes under Mongol rule that linked distant regions
Connected trade routes, fleas living on rats aboard ships and in caravans, and dense towns all helped the plague move quickly. Railroads and the printing press are anachronisms: the first would not exist for centuries, and printed pamphlets cannot carry a disease.
4. Complete the sentence.
The Ottoman, Safavid and Mughal empires are often called the _____ empires because cannons and firearms helped them conquer rivals and hold territory.
Opties voor invulveld 1: maritime, steppe, gunpowder, tributary
Toon antwoord en uitleg
Antwoord: gunpowder
Historians use gunpowder empires for states that combined firearms and artillery with strong central administration. The term is a shortcut, since each empire also relied on land taxes, large bureaucracies and legitimacy claims, not weapons alone.
5. The devshirme system in the Ottoman Empire is best described as:
- A. A tax paid only by Muslim merchants
- B. A treaty system with European trading companies
- C. The grant of land to nobles in return for cavalry
- D. The levy of boys from Christian villages for state and military service
Toon antwoord en uitleg
Antwoord: D. The levy of boys from Christian villages for state and military service
Under devshirme, boys from Christian communities in the Balkans were taken, converted and trained. Some became Janissaries, the elite infantry, and some rose to high office. It gave the sultan servants whose loyalty went to him, not to a noble family.
6. Which labor system drew on an earlier Inca practice and forced Indigenous communities to supply workers for Spanish silver mines?
- A. Indentured servitude
- B. Mita
- C. Corvee in France
- D. The plantation lease
Toon antwoord en uitleg
Antwoord: B. Mita
The Spanish adapted the Inca mita, a rotating labor obligation, to staff mines such as Potosi. Workers faced dangerous conditions and the system added to population loss in the Andes. The silver it produced flowed across the Pacific and Atlantic, linking the world economy.
7. Which of these moved from Afro-Eurasia to the Americas as part of the Columbian Exchange?
Selecteer alles wat van toepassing is.
- A. Smallpox
- B. Horses
- C. Potatoes
- D. Maize
- E. Wheat
Toon antwoord en uitleg
Antwoord: A. Smallpox, B. Horses, E. Wheat
Horses, smallpox and wheat crossed from Afro-Eurasia to the Americas. Potatoes and maize went the other way, and both became staple foods in Europe, Africa and Asia. Smallpox and other diseases killed a very large share of Indigenous peoples who had no earlier exposure.
8. Which Enlightenment idea most directly challenged the divine right of kings?
- A. Monarchs should tax only their own nobles
- B. Governments get their authority from the consent of the governed
- C. Faith is more reliable than reason
- D. Trade should be controlled by the state
Toon antwoord en uitleg
Antwoord: B. Governments get their authority from the consent of the governed
Thinkers such as Locke and Rousseau argued that political authority comes from the people, not from God. That idea shaped the American, French and Latin American revolutions. It also gave later reformers a language to demand rights.
9. What made the Haitian Revolution historically significant?
- A. It ended the Atlantic slave trade overnight
- B. It made France give up all its colonies
- C. It established a monarchy modeled on Britain
- D. It created the first independent state founded by formerly enslaved people
Toon antwoord en uitleg
Antwoord: D. It created the first independent state founded by formerly enslaved people
Enslaved people in Saint-Domingue, led in part by Toussaint Louverture, defeated colonial and European forces and declared Haiti independent in 1804. It shook slaveholding societies across the Atlantic world. It did not end the slave trade at once, and Haiti paid a heavy price for independence.

Industrialization began in Britain in the late 1700s, helped by coal, iron, capital and a growing demand for textiles. It then spread to Western Europe, the United States and Japan. Factory work reshaped cities, families and global trade.
11. Complete the sentence.
In the 1800s, industrial states expanded overseas to gain raw materials and markets, a policy historians call _____.
Opties voor invulveld 1: imperialism, mercantilism, isolationism, feudalism
Toon antwoord en uitleg
Antwoord: imperialism
Industrial economies needed cotton, rubber, minerals and customers, and new technologies such as steamships and the telegraph made distant control easier. Mercantilism describes an earlier economic policy, and isolationism is the opposite of expansion.

- A. Placed them under British and French administration
- B. Returned them to the Ottoman sultan
- C. Granted all of them full independence
- D. Divided them between the United States and Japan
Toon antwoord en uitleg
Antwoord: A. Placed them under British and French administration
The League of Nations assigned mandates, and Britain and France took charge of places such as Iraq, Palestine, Syria and Lebanon. The system claimed to prepare peoples for self-rule while keeping imperial control. Disputes over the borders it drew still shape politics there.

Selecteer alles wat van toepassing is.
- A. The Crimean War
- B. The Korean War
- C. The Vietnam War
- D. The Soviet war in Afghanistan
- E. The Franco-Prussian War
Toon antwoord en uitleg
Antwoord: B. The Korean War, C. The Vietnam War, D. The Soviet war in Afghanistan
In a proxy conflict, the superpowers backed opposing sides without fighting each other directly. Korea, Vietnam and Afghanistan all fit. The Crimean War and the Franco-Prussian War were fought in the nineteenth century, long before the Cold War.
14. Which description best fits the Non-Aligned Movement?
- A. A military alliance led by the Soviet Union
- B. An economic union of European colonies
- C. Newly independent states that avoided formal alliance with either superpower
- D. A group of nations that sided with the United States
Toon antwoord en uitleg
Antwoord: C. Newly independent states that avoided formal alliance with either superpower
Leaders from India, Egypt, Indonesia and Yugoslavia brought together states that wanted independence in foreign policy during the Cold War. The movement helped decolonizing nations speak with a shared voice, though its members often disagreed with each other.

- A. Returning to fallow fields every other year
- B. Banning all machinery on farms
- C. Moving farming into cities
- D. High-yield seed varieties, fertilizers and irrigation
Toon antwoord en uitleg
Antwoord: D. High-yield seed varieties, fertilizers and irrigation
Scientists developed high-yield varieties of wheat and rice that paid off when paired with fertilizer, pesticides and irrigation. Food output rose sharply in places such as India and Mexico. The costs were water use, debt for small farmers and loss of crop diversity.
AP World History studiegids: de negen units
AP World History: Modern beslaat de periode van ongeveer 1200 tot nu in negen units, en ze wegen niet allemaal even zwaar. Units 1 en 2, Global Tapestry en Networks of Exchange, zijn elk 8 tot 10 procent van het examen. Units 3 tot en met 6 zijn elk 12 tot 15 procent: Land-Based Empires, Transoceanic Interconnections, Revolutions en Consequences of Industrialization. Units 7, 8 en 9, Global Conflict, Cold War and Decolonization en Globalization, zijn weer elk 8 tot 10 procent. De vier middelste units dragen ongeveer de helft van het examen, dus ze verdienen ongeveer de helft van je studietijd.
Het vak draait ook op zes thema's die door elke unit lopen: mens en omgeving, culturele ontwikkelingen en uitwisseling, bestuur, economische systemen, sociale verhoudingen en organisatie, en technologie en innovatie. Een goede studiegids is een raster met de units bovenaan en de thema's aan de zijkant. Schrijf in elk vakje een feit dat je als bewijs zou kunnen gebruiken. Een leeg vakje is je volgende studie-uur.
Wat het examen vraagt en hoe je deze oefentoets gebruikt
Het examen heeft twee delen. Section I is 55 meerkeuzevragen in 55 minuten plus 3 vragen met een kort antwoord in 40 minuten, samen 60 procent van het cijfer. Section II is één documentgebaseerde vraag en één lang essay, samen 40 procent. Het College Board heeft aanpassingen aangekondigd voor de vragen met kort antwoord en het lange essay vanaf het examen van mei 2027, dus check de actuele Course and Exam Description voor aantallen en tijd voordat je je oefenen plant.
Deze oefentoets heeft 15 vragen verdeeld over de negen units. Hij gebruikt ook meerdere antwoorden en invulvragen, die de echte meerkeuze niet heeft, omdat een term terughalen moeilijker is dan hem in een lijst herkennen. Maak hem in één keer, lees elke uitleg en laat een fout antwoord naar een unit wijzen, niet alleen naar een feit. Hij oefent de essays niet. Pak daarvoor één bron, schrijf een stelling, onderbouw die met twee concrete bewijzen en zeg waarom de auteur, het publiek of het doel ertoe doet.
Hoe StudyPDF een studiegids en oefentoetsen maakt van je eigen aantekeningen
Vijftien vragen kunnen laten zien welke units wankelen. Ze maken je niet klaar voor het examen, en een algemene gids sluit zelden aan bij waar je docent drie weken aan werkte.
StudyPDF werkt vanuit jouw materiaal. Je uploadt je boekhoofdstuk, je aantekeningen of de samenvatting die je docent plaatste, klikt op Nieuw materiaal, en StudyPDF maakt een studiegids en volledige oefentoetsen op basis van precies die pagina's. Elke vraag is gegrond in jouw materiaal en elke uitleg noemt waar het antwoord vandaan komt. Je hoeft niets te uploaden om te beginnen: je kunt ook gewoon een onderwerp noemen, zoals Unit 4 of de Columbiaanse uitwisseling, en Bo zet het op met de kernbegrippen, zodat je er materiaal over kunt maken. Beginnen is gratis.
