World History 5.0 and 6.0 Test 13 Study Guide – Chapters 31 & 32

Test 13 covers Chapter 31 (The Cold War) and Chapter 32 (Independence & Nationalism in the Developing World). The test consists of 16 Multiple Choice questions, 9 TRUE/FALSE questions, and a completion section that focuses on the challenges of African nations after colonialism (Ch. 32 Lesson 3) worth 10 points, for a total of 35 points. As always you should have done all the assigned reading for the chapters, you should review all HW and in-class assignments, and you should look at my webpage for additional power points and other study materials. You may use HW, in-class assignments or notes of your own creation during the test. You may not share notes & you may not reproduce your text OR use printed copies of the study materials posted on the web page. If you wish to use anything from google classroom you need to print it as you will not be able to access it during the test. This is the last test of marking the year, except for the FINAL EXAM. You should expect to see the following terms, concepts and people on the test:
