APWH Exam Review Guide
This is basically everything we’ve ever learned in APWH, which I’ve compiled all into one study guide for use on the AP Exam. I know it’s a lot, and I apologize: but we’ve learned a lot. I’ve gone through the entire Princeton Review Book: reading, highlighting, and annotating to make sure I’ve covered everything important, along with outlines, handouts, websites, and other books. I really want everyone to do well, and I know you all will anyway—but I think this will help. I’m sorry if I’ve missed anything, but I don’t think there are any errors.
I apologize if some charts or symbols don’t load/are loaded weird on your computer. (e.g. I made several pyramid charts of social structures which may not load due to lower versions of MS Word, in which case I strongly recommend you get someone else to print out the study guide for you, because they are important.

    During the eighteenth century the Ottoman Empire lost much of its power to provincial governors, escalating many new encounters of reform. To justify or deny such climatic choices of reform called for a time of war.

    During the period of 1750-1914, Western intervention was a common thing as European states began to believe that imperial expansion and colonial domination were crucial for the survival of their states and societies as well as their personal fortunes. India and Africa were colonized so quickly for their resources and out of competition that other European states would colonize them first.

    The period circa 600 B.C.E. to 600 C.E. can be seen as a time dominated by the imperial expansion and consolidation of power of several empires. Across the world, empires popped up, and existing empires were given the capability of expanding greatly. Of these, the two preeminent empires at this time were the Roman Empire and those located in China (e.g. the Han).
