You can only choose one category, so if in doubt, please choose the closest match.
PROBLEM: Fascinated in his youth by the sea and ships, he spent two years of his reign traveling throughout Europe learning the techniques of shipbuilding, but upon his return was forced to put down a revolt of the streltsy. Originally joint emperor with his retarded brother Ivan under the regency of his half-sister Sophia, he soon seized power, and later had his son Alexei tortured to death to maintain his rule. His seizure and eventual loss of Azov was his first notable attempt to gain greater maritime access, which was completed with his gain of a section of the Baltic coast, where he founded his new capital, modeled on the Western ideas he forced upon his country. FTP, who was this victor in the Great Northern War who from 1682-1725 ruled Russia

SOLUTION: History

PROBLEM: Although only 20,000 Americans died during this conflict, over 100,000 died in the ensuing Bolo War. Origins of this war included outrage over General Weylers creation of concentration camps and the outrage over the De Lme Letter. In the end, the Treaty of Paris ended the war, giving payments to the European belligerent but giving America Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. FTP; name this war which began in the McKinley Administration after the sinking of the USS Maine.

SOLUTION: History

PROBLEM: Mssbauer spectroscopy involves the observation of phenomena including isomer shifts and this. An equation describing it contains an electron spin g-factor of approximately two. It was first observed by its namesake in the D lines of sodium and its anomalous variety occurs when electron spin contributes to this phenomenon. A potential energy associated with it is proportional to the Bohr magneton, the Lande g-factor, and the z component of the total momentum. This is the magnetic analog to the Stark effect, and in strong fields it becomes the Paschen-Back effect. The inverse type of it considers absorption lines as opposed to spectral lines. For 10 points, name this splitting of spectral lines in a magnetic field.
