The Russian tsar (A), Qing emperor (B), and

Europe (C), and China (D) were largely agri-

match that of the Americas.
- B—Since the tenth century, Russia had traded

Indochina and British-controlled Burma. The
other statements are true.
- D—Both the Ottoman and Russian empires
were ethnic mixtures, especially of Muslims,
Christians, and Jews. The Ottoman Empire was
one of numerous nations within its borders, and
was not, therefore, a nation-state (A). Neither
