The high grade before extra credit was actually 30.5, but that was a bit of an outlier, so I left the high score at 30 for the purposes of everyone’s grade. The top picks were machine guns, Opium Wars, Social Darwinism and anti-semitism; the most neglected terms were Secularism, Chulalongkorn and Maori Wars. The most popular answer to the extra credit question about 19 century politics was “intensifying nationalism”; the least popular was “racially tinged imperialism.”
