ID Master List
See Rampolla, Pocket Guide, 40f for some advice on answering ID questions.
- Identify and define the significance (3 @ 5 mins. each=15 minutes
total; 15 points each=45 points total)
You will be given six of the following terms, from which you will select
three. Identify each one (including an approximate date or range of
dates), situating it correctly in a period and region of world history.
Then take special care to EXPLAIN WHY THE TERM IS SIGNIFICANT in the
context of world history. Ask yourself: Would history have taken a different
course without this event or person? Or: Is this term an example of
some important principle that played a role in the course of history?
(Your answer should be yes.) Then write down the reason(s) WHY to conclude
your answer to the ID.
