AP World History Unit 6 Drill 19 is a Multiple Choice practice drill covering Unit 6: Industrialization and Its Effects. It contains 5 original questions created by Brian Stewart, a Barron's test prep author with over 20 years of tutoring experience.
This AP World History Unit 6 drill is based on an 1891 circular letter from Emperor Menelik II of Ethiopia to European powers. Questions analyze Menelik's central argument, his strategic use of Ethiopia's Christian identity, and the significance of Ethiopian resistance as an example of successful opposition to European imperialism.
Adapted from a circular letter by Emperor Menelik II of Ethiopia to the rulers of Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Russia, 1891 CE, with substantial paraphrase.
"I have no intention at all of being an indifferent spectator, if the distant Powers hold the idea of dividing Africa amongst themselves. Ethiopia has been for fourteen centuries a Christian island in a sea of pagans. Since the All-Powerful has protected Ethiopia up until now, I am hopeful that He will keep and enlarge it also in the future. I am not worried about the intention to divide Africa; as God is my witness, I shall endeavor, if necessary by the use of force, to repel any such attempt. Ethiopia has need of no one; she has been, she is, and, with God's help, she will remain independent."
