AP EUROPEAN HISTORY MAP SUMMER ASSIGNMENT
You are expected to have a general knowledge of European Geography before we begin our discussion of
Modern European History. There are plenty of websites you can find not only maps of Europe, but also blank
maps in which you may practice. Two good ones are http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/testmaps/europe.gif
and http://www.eduplace.com/ss/maps/europe.html. A good physical map of Europe is located at
