Last May, I took the AP European History Exam. The Exam was split into three sections: Eighty Multiple-Choice Questions covering the Rennaissance until now, a Document Based Question covering the rise of sports and the Olympics in Europe between 1815 and 1914, and two sets of three questions. I had to pick one question from each set, and write an essay about it.
The first essay I chose, I had to explain the Columbian Exchange, and give examples of animals, plants, and diseases that were transferred between the Old and New worlds.
In my second essay, I had to explain why Russia was behind the western powers during the nineteenth century.
From the first section, two other essay choices were comparing and contrasting Louis XIV and Napoleon I, and Describing why the Rennaissance began in Italy.
The other two essays in the second section involved me explaining why Germany lost World War Two, and Explaining the fall of Communism.
If you guys would, please outline the two essays I chose, and tell me whether or not I chose the best essays.
Thanks!!
