AP European History, Bullington, Test on November 17th

Hello everyone,
Please remember that tomorrow's test will cover modernization in Russia AND the growth of absolutism in France. The guide below only covers Russia. I have not been feeling very well since Friday and will not be completing the guide as usual. Instead, review your lecture notes and remember to read your Western Experience in addition to the Palmer and Colton. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you.
