1 REPURPOSED AP EUROPEAN HISTORY DBQ AP European History Practice Exam NOTE: This is an old format DBQ from 2008 reformatted in an effort to conform to the new DBQ format. Document letters have been replaced with numbers and 4 documents (the former Documents 1, 5, 6, 9) have been removed so that there are only seven documents.

2 EUROPEAN HISTORY SECTION II Total Time 1 hour, 30 minutes Question 1 (Document-Based Question) Suggested Reading period: 15 minutes Suggested writing time: 40 minutes Directions: The following question is based on the accompanying Documents 1 7. The documents have been edited for the purpose of this exercise. This question is designed to test your ability to apply several historical thinking skills simultaneously, including historical argumentation, use of relevant historical evidence, contextualization, and synthesis. Your response should be based on your analysis of the documents and your knowledge of the topic. Write a well-integrated essay that does the following: States an appropriate thesis that directly addresses all parts of the question Supports the thesis or an appropriate argument with evidence from all or all but one of the documents AND your knowledge of European history beyond/outside the documents Analyzes a majority of the documents in terms of such features as their intended audience, purpose, point of view, format, argument, limitations, and/or social context as appropriate to the argument Places the argument in the context of broader regional, national, or global processes 1. Explain the reasons for the adoption of a new calendar in revolutionary France and analyze reactions to it in the period 1789 to 1806.

3 Document 1 Source: Gilbert Romme, head of the calendar reform committee, "Report on the Republican Era," speech before the National Convention, September 20, The Church calendar was born among an ignorant people. For eighteen centuries it has served to mark the progress of fanaticism, the debasement of nations, the persecution and disgust experienced by virtue, talent, and philosophy under cruel despots. We are finished with royalty, the source of all our ills. Time opens a new book for history, and it must use a new pen to record the annals of a regenerated France. Thus, the equality of day and night occurred in the heavens* at the very moment when the people's representatives proclaimed the moral and civic equality of every Frenchman. * A reference to the autumnal equinox, or New Year's Day according to the new calendar Document 2 Source: Abbe Sieyes, in response to Committee of Public Instruction's proposal for a new calendar, The time hasn't yet come to make changes in the divisions of the year. Our customary practices, the many connections we have with the practices of peoples in neighboring countries, and the centuries immediately preceding our own, all combine, in this respect, to make an obstacle too imposing to overcome.

4 Document 3 Source: Illustrations of newly named months, engravings made circa 1793

5 Document 4 Source: Letter written by a peasant from Etampes to the National Convention, March 19, Nine days of hard labor are unbearable even to the most hard-working and ambitious peasants. Even the day laborers in the towns complain about it openly, even though they are earning high wages. It is not fanaticism that stirs discontent but childhood education and long habit. Simple citizens of the country, especially the aged, want some small distractions on their days of rest. Mass and vespers* were good in this respect. * Roman Catholic evening prayer service Document 5 Source: Source: Pierre-Joseph Denis, a former Girondin imprisoned during the Terror and then recalled to the National Convention, Opinion on the Decades, The Jacobins were able to overthrow the religion of our fathers and trample underfoot the venerated objects of the people. They were able to make the infernal Robespierre the first pope of Deism. It was through his mouth that the French rendered homage to the Supreme Being. The new calendar was an act of despotism forced on the people, and the festivals based on it were detestable. Document 6 Source: Government official in the French town of Steenwerck, Picardy, letter to superiors, March 3, The short time the people spend in the republican temple [a former church] celebrating Tenth Day and revolutionary festivals is an affront to republicans. Entirely decorated with all the old signs of fanaticism, the building displays no symbol of liberty, equality, or the republic. No matter where one looks, one sees only images, crucifixes, confessionals, and chapels-all as under the monarchical regime. Document 7 Source: Article in the Gazette de France, a government newspaper, commemorating the return of the Gregorian calendar under Napoleon, January l, Sunday came from heaven; Tenth Day from the Earth. One preached morality to men, and the other nothing; one is linked to great memories, while the other recalls cruel periods. The decade has fallen, and it was so weak that its fall does not even offer us an opportunity to exclaim about the fragility of human things. It was sad even in the names of the festivals, which instead of being devoted to the benefactors of humanity, were devoted to the cabbage, the turnip, and the artichoke. The day it died was the festival of the gourd-for those who might be tempted to undertake its funeral oration. END OF DOCUMENTS FOR QUESTION 1
