Unit #1: Ancient History Blue Book Review
Question A
The development of civilizations was a dramatic new stage in
world history. Four of the earliest civilizations developed along
river valley systems (e.g. the Tigris-Euphrates Valley, the Nile
Valley, the Indus Valley, and the Yellow River Valley). Describe
the growth of the various river valley systems, primarily focusing
on each region’s religion, societal design/structure, government,
military, and contributions to civilization. Which of these four
civilizations were the most successful? Why? Which had the
greatest impact on future civilizations? How?
Question B
What allowed for Greece and Rome to develop (and sustain life)
independently from the four earliest river valley civilizations?
Describe the growth of Greece and Rome, primarily focusing on
each one’s religion, societal design/structure, government,
military, and contributions to civilization. Which of these two
civilizations were the most successful? Why? Which one had the
greatest impact on future civilizations? How?
Question C
War is as old as human society itself. The earliest city-states and
empires in Mesopotamia became the first to employ standing
armies. Organization and structure are central to warfare, as
illustrated by the highly disciplined troops of the Roman Empire.
What is war? Why do wars occur? What are some theories
behind warfare? Why do human beings, the most advanced
species on the planet, resort to violence to solve their problems?
What makes humans so prone to conflict? Can this susceptibility
be changed or altered? What are some theories about ending
war? What does the future of war hold for humankind?

Unit #2: Collapse & Rebirth Blue Book Review
Question D
The Renaissance was a period of intellectual ferment where
Europeans became increasingly confident that they were
creating a whole new culture, one that rivaled the great
civilizations of Ancient Greece and Rome. Explain how the
Renaissance contributed to the following: inventions; science;
literature; painting; sculpture; music; architecture; exploration;
warfare; and religion. Be sure to provide TWO examples in each
category.
Question E
There is a great paradox when religion mixes with war. Every
major religion stresses its love of peace, yet almost every religion
has been at war. Throughout history, religion has caused savage
wars and great cruelty… all in the name of God. What is a holy
war? What are some of its causes? What role did religion play in
the Crusades? Discuss the conflict and its immediate and longterm impact in world affairs. (NOTE: This will require you to pull
from your prior knowledge of wars and their causes from Unit #1.)
Question F
Christianity during the Renaissance presents a number of sharp
contrasts to the role it played during the Middle Ages. The
influence and prestige of the Roman Catholic Church was
declining. Its institutions were rooted in older patterns of life and
traditional ways of thought, and these institutions were slow in
adapting. According to Reformation documents, what did
Martin Luther and the German Protestants object to in the beliefs
and practices of the Catholic Church? How did they voice these
objections? What was the end result? How and why did
England’s King Henry VIII bring the Reformation to his country?
What was the end result? In short, would the Catholic Church
have reformed without these frontal assaults?

Unit #3: Age of Colonialism Blue Book Review
Question G
Colonialism didn’t begin with the 13 colonies of North America. The
Greeks and Romans both possessed colonies around the
Mediterranean. The Vikings established colonies in Greenland and
Newfoundland. The First Crusade established four Crusader states in
the Muslim-controlled Middle East. The Mongol Empire controlled
territory from the Ural Mountains in Russia to the Pacific Ocean.
Needless to say, 17th Century colonialism was nothing new to world
history. Trace the history of colonialism from its earliest days up to the
founding of the 13 American colonies, providing sufficient examples,
motives, and types. Be sure to address the differences between
colonialism and imperialism. In addition, explain one colonial success
and one colonial failure in either the Massachusetts and/or
Chesapeake area of North America.
Question H
As explorers set up their American colonies and built their overseas
empires, major political and religious conflicts quickly engulfed
England and dragged on for decades. By the time England regained
control, it found itself battling other European powers over colonial
interests in the New World. What impact did the English Revolution, the
English Restoration, the Glorious Revolution, and the French and Indian
War have on the future United States? In discussing these events, be
sure to provide ample descriptions of the causes and results of each,
how these events were related, and the immediate and long-term
impact each had on the American colonies.
Question I
“The French and Indian War was the first world war.” Discuss the
validity of that statement by addressing the following questions: How
did this war, which began in the backwoods of the Midwest, turn into a
worldwide conflict? Where around the world was it fought? What
countries were involved? What role did Native Americans play during
the war? Why did they get involved? What key events and battles
shifted dominance during the war? What did the victors gain from the
peace treaty that ended the war? Finally, what immediate and longterm impact did this war have on American and world affairs?
