You will be responsible for responding to short answer options, based on content from weeks six through fifteen (inclusive).

This study guide is designed to help you to select a topic that’s narrow enough in scope for a short (two or three paragraphs), yet impressive, world history composition. Selecting ANY TWO items from the list, answer the following question below.
