20 questions

Question 1: The French version of hegemony under Louis XIV showed more adaptability compared to the Habsburg bid for hegemony.

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: The study materials state that the Habsburg bid for hegemony in its Spanish-Austrian form was perhaps too rigid, but its French version under Louis XIV showed a more Persian mildness and adaptability.

Question 2: According to the study materials, what were the foundational roots of the European concept of sovereignty?

A. The practices of the Renaissance stato

B. The influence of Hellenic and Hebrew traditions

C. The ban on intervention imposed by the European sovereigns' club

D. The underlying anti-hegemonial assumption of the European society

Explanation: The study materials state that 'The European concept of sovereignty had its roots in the practices of the Renaissance stato, and in the influence of Hellenic and Hebrew traditions.'

Question 3: The study materials suggest that some individuals might prefer communities to have greater independence, accepting a higher risk of armed conflict, rather than choosing peace and prosperity at the expense of that independence.

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: The Epilogue states, "Some of us are inclined towards multiple independences, in which communities can work out their diverse destinies and achievements with greater immunity from outside interference and a greater risk of armed conflict, while others may prefer the more mundane blessings of peace and prosperity at the expense of independence."

Question 4: According to the study materials, which of the following statements correctly describes the situation regarding the Security Council's composition?

A. The composition of the Security Council is considered anachronistic.

B. There is pressure to increase the number of permanent members.

C. Any additional vetoes would make the use of UN machinery more difficult.

D. There is no current discussion about the veto rights of potential new permanent members.

Explanation: The study materials state that 'The composition of the Security Council is anachronistic.' It also mentions 'There is pressure to increase the number of permanent members, perhaps without veto rights.' and that 'Any additional vetoes will make the use of UN machinery more difficult.' The last option is incorrect because the materials specifically mention 'perhaps without veto rights,' indicating discussion about veto rights for new members.

Question 5: Did Napoleon's diplomacy contribute to the establishment of the dike system in Europe?

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: The study materials mention Napoleon's diplomacy on page 232 and define 'dike' as a concept related to Greek political systems (pages 53-54, 59, 61-62, 64-65, 70, 89, 324), not in the context of Napoleon's diplomacy or European diplomacy generally.
