Dear Students,
Please find attached the scope of the SocSci 4th Qtr Periodic Test (for Be, K, Mg, Rb, and Sr).
Kindly email this to the rest of your classmates or put it in your blog. This is so that you can all start reviewing today (as I know you are all excited to do).
Please tell everyone to bring their textbooks next week. I may give you time for study and we may also have graded activities to help you prepare for the perio.
Happy studying!

SCOPE OF THE 4TH QTR PERIODIC TEST SOCIAL SCIENCE 3 (Be, Mg, K, Rb, Sr) SY 2009-2010
I. Transition to Modern Times
A. The Growth of Modern European States
1. Spain dominates Europe in the 16th century.
2. The Thirty Years’ War (1618-1648) begins as a religious war, but eventually turns into a battle
to maintain the balance of power. At its end, much of Germany is in ruins and the Holy Roman
Empire is severely weakened.
3. Absolute monarchy triumphs in France during the long reign of Louis XIV (1643-1715).
4. The power of English monarchs is limited.
* The reign of Queen Elizabeth I witnesses the rise of England as the leading Protestant state and
Its rise as a naval power in the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588.
* In 1628, Parliament forced King Charles I to agree to the Petition of Right, which set forth certain
civil liberties and limited the power of the king.
* In the (bloodless) “Glorious Revolution” of 1688, Parliament offered the throne to the Protestant
rulers William and Mary. The new rulers agreed to the Bill of Rights, which assured the people basic
civil rights and established Parliament’s power over the English monarch.
5. Russia is unified and strengthened during the reigns of Ivan the Great (15th c),
Peter the Great (17th-18th c), and Catherine the Great (18th c).

of 1789? (p.408)
e. Voltaire – Although Voltaire favored the free expression of ideas, what did he believe was the best
form of government? (pp.411-412)

IV. The World Between the Wars: Ch.31 - Introduction (p.673) & Summary (p.692)

- The stock market “crashed” in 1929. This was largely due to the prevalent practice of buying stocks on credit or installment buying (“Buy now, pay later.”) When consumers could not pay, they stopped buying. Factories had to cut back production, and unemployment rose.

decline in steel production.
