1. The Roman empire was at its largest in 117 after the death of the Emperor Trajanus (Trajan in English?). What factors enabled the size of the empire?
This was the easy first question.
Indeed. Ahhhhh, where to begin?

OMG. This one sucked:
8. Conflicts that are claimed to be ethnic generally have political and economic reasons behind them and actually are not so much related to relationships between ethnic groups. Judge the accurateness of the claim on an area/country of your choosing that lies outside of Europe. From the 1950s to the present day.
Umm..What? *reads again* No, still don't get this. The war between some Nigerians and those who declared Biafra independent probably could qualify, but I could never write 2-3 pages of that.
Try India and Pakistan(of late)/China/Bangladesh or China and basically anyone around it.
Also, Spanish-American War, etc. (EDIT: Oops, not post 1950

10.
a) Read the following quotes by Eduard Sevardnadzen, Margaret Thatcher and Helmut Kohl. Compare their opinions on the reunification of Germany.
b) What factors enabled the reunification of Germany, and what have been the effects of the reunification in Germany and Europe?
That was my favourite question. Thatcher was against, apparently partly because she was worried that German would become too powerful in the EEC. Kohl was for it, of course, provided that the DDR would be democratic. The Soviet guy was pessimistic.
Don't really know much about it; glad it worked for you.
No more history
And in case you wonder, I have no point in posting this. Just think it's interesting.

Keine Geschichte.

Congrats and well done; giving up on history is missing out though, IMHO.
