Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 7.35 Comparative and Cross Regional Analysis skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A region experiences mass migration after a famine, with many people crossing an ocean to work in cities abroad. Another region experiences mass migration after a sudden partition of territory, with refugees crossing new borders and reshaping politics and demographics.

Which comparative claim best demonstrates high-level analysis?

ADiffusion because famine and partition are the same historical event.

BStasis because migration never changes societies.

CBoth are forced or crisis-driven migrations (convergence), but they diverge in causes and in how states manage borders, citizenship, and refugee rights.

DDivergence because neither case involves hardship or political change.

Solution & Explanation:Comparative analysis identifies shared dynamics—large displacement and social change—while distinguishing different causes (economic disaster vs political partition) and different state responses, showing convergence and divergence together.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

After World War II, Japan and West Germany experienced rapid economic growth with U.S. support, export industries, and rebuilding institutions. South Korea later also grew quickly with state planning, exports, and Cold War alliances.

Which statement best captures diffusion, convergence, and divergence?

ADevelopment models diffused through alliances and advisors; the economies converged around export-led growth, but diverged in timing and state-business arrangements.

BAll three grew in isolation with no foreign investment or policy exchange.

CDivergence because none of them relied on exports or international markets.

DThey converged completely because their cultures and politics became identical.

Solution & Explanation:U.S. alliances and policy advice helped transmit certain strategies (diffusion). All three prioritized exports and industrial upgrading (convergence), but their growth periods and domestic institutions differed (divergence).

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

In the Ottoman Empire, the millet system allowed certain religious communities to govern aspects of personal law. In British India, colonial courts sometimes recognized different personal laws for religious groups while also imposing new legal codes. In Spanish America, colonial authorities combined imperial law with local customs and church courts.

Which concept best describes what these cases share?

ALegal pluralism: multiple legal systems operating within one political authority, with divergence in who controls them and for what ends.

BDiffusion because all three shared the same single law code.

CDivergence because there were no courts or laws in any of these places.

DStasis because colonial rule never changed legal practice.

Solution & Explanation:Each case shows more than one legal framework functioning at the same time. Comparing who had authority—communities, colonizers, church, crown—reveals divergence within a convergent pattern of pluralism.
