Ecuador\u2019s Socialist Revolutionary Party (PSRE) has reportedly planned an attack on the Nicaraguan Embassy in Quito, to be carried out with support from the Chilean Movement of the Revolutionary Left (MIR). The MIR also reportedly has a support apparatus in Costa Rica that helps train Nicaraguan guerrillas. Radical groups in Peru and Colombia are reportedly considering sending volunteers to Nicaragua to fight with the FSLN guerrillas. All the Central American guerrilla groups probably provide the Sandinistas with safesites, documents, and assistance in travel and border crossing.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>\u2013Memorandum Prepared in the Central Intelligence Agency, 1978<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The events described in the passage represent a reaction most directly against which of the following?<\/p>\n<p class=\"QuizQuestion-info-title\">A:\u00a0Capitalism<\/p>\n<p class=\"QuizQuestion-info-title\">B:\u00a0Marxism<\/p>\n<p class=\"QuizQuestion-info-title\">C:\u00a0Nationalism<\/p>\n<p class=\"QuizQuestion-info-title\">D:\u00a0Anti-colonialism<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<div  class=\"togglecontainer    avia-builder-el-2  el_after_av_promobox  el_before_av_promobox \" >\n<p class=\"QuizQuestion-info-title\"><section class=\"av_toggle_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\"  >    <div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  >        <p data-fake-id=\"#toggle-id-1\" class=\"toggler \"  itemprop=\"headline\"    role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"toggle-id-1\">Answer 1<span class=\"toggle_icon\" >        <span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>        <div id=\"toggle-id-1\" class=\"toggle_wrap \"  >            <div class=\"toggle_content invers-color \"  itemprop=\"text\"   ><p class=\"QuizQuestion-info-title\"><b>A:\u00a0<\/b>The passage describes the events of Cuban-supported leftist groups in Central and South America and their efforts to support communism in the region.

Certain I am that our commerce and agriculture, the two principal sources of our wealth, will not support such an expense.

(C) is incorrect because monarchism is a political system, in which a monarch such as King George III of Great Britain rules over his people. (D) is incorrect because economic liberalism is a system that advocates for free trade and minimal government regulation of the economy, which contrasts with the mercantilist trade described in the passage.<\/p>\n            <\/div>        <\/div>    <\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><br \/>\n\t<div   class='av_promobox  avia-button-no   avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_toggle_container  el_before_av_toggle_container '>\t\t<div class='avia-promocontent'><p>\n<strong>AP World History Free Practice Question #3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43362\" src=\"https:\/\/wpapp.kaptest.com\/study\/wp-content\/uploads\/APWH___Voyages_map.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"817\" height=\"498\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The travels of the H.M.S.

Indeed, ships such as the H.M.S. Orvieto accompanied Allied civilian ships in order to protect them against German U-boat attacks. Even during peacetime, European countries such as Great Britain did not have sufficient raw materials to supply their factories and thus developed international trade relations, usually involving less developed nations and territorial possessions supplying raw materials for industry in more developed nations. (B) correctly reflects the importance of these trade relations. (A) is incorrect because Britain still ruled India during World War I; India did not become autonomous until after World War II. Though the British Empire was large and spanned multiple continents, the map does not depict the extent of these colonies, making (C) incorrect. (D) is incorrect because sea transportation was vital to the world economy in the early twentieth century; although railroads and automobiles could be used overland, sea travel was the only way to transport goods or people across oceans before the development of jets.<\/p>\n            <\/div>        <\/div>    <\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><br \/>\n\t<div   class='av_promobox  avia-button-no   avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_toggle_container  el_before_av_toggle_container '>\t\t<div class='avia-promocontent'><p>\n<strong>AP World History Free Practice Question #4<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAre these the beginnings of profound changes in the Soviet state?

Reagan\u2019s speech is in the midst of the thawing of Cold War tensions; the Communist Party was seeking increasingly liberal policies while trying to hold together the collapsing Soviet Union in light of its struggling economy and internal pressures. (A) is correct because it reflects one of the factors that would lead to the collapse of the Soviet Union. (B) is incorrect because the Soviet Union\u2019s involvement with Korea dated back to its support in the 1950s for the communist North during the Korean War; the Soviet Union did not invade Korea during the decline of the Cold War. (C) is incorrect because the reunification of Germany was a result of the collapse due to the loss of Soviet control of East Germany. While nuclear buildup certainly characterized the Cold War era, (D) is incorrect because the collapse of the Soviet Union was during a period of nuclear deescalation.<\/p>\n            <\/div>        <\/div>    <\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><br \/>\n\t<div   class='av_promobox  avia-button-no   avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_toggle_container  el_before_av_toggle_container '>\t\t<div class='avia-promocontent'><p>\n<strong>AP World History Free Practice Question #5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43363\" src=\"https:\/\/wpapp.kaptest.com\/study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Contraction_of_World_Trade___APWH.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"894\" height=\"499\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The conditions reflected in the diagram would\u00a0most directly result in which of the following?<\/p>\n<p>A:\u00a0The outbreak of World War II<br \/>\nB:\u00a0The escalation of the Cold War<br \/>\nC:\u00a0The breakdown of land-based empires<br \/>\nD:\u00a0The redrawing of old colonial boundaries<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<div  class=\"togglecontainer    avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_promobox  el_before_av_promobox \" >\n<section class=\"av_toggle_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\"  >    <div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  >        <p data-fake-id=\"#toggle-id-5\" class=\"toggler \"  itemprop=\"headline\"    role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"toggle-id-5\">Answer 5<span class=\"toggle_icon\" >        <span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>        <div id=\"toggle-id-5\" class=\"toggle_wrap \"  >            <div class=\"toggle_content invers-color \"  itemprop=\"text\"   ><p><b>A:\u00a0<\/b>The diagram depicts the diminishing world economy in the midst of the Great Depression.
