Review the lesson “Ports and Atlantic trade”

This review game covers a single lesson of the French history curriculum for 4e: “Ports and Atlantic trade”, from the unit “The 18th century, an age of expansion, Enlightenment and revolutions.” Its questions are about the great Atlantic ports (Bordeaux, Nantes, La Rochelle), trade with the colonies and the rise of wealthy merchants.

Each round has 10 questions drawn at random from the lesson: multiple choice, fill in the blanks and matching. After each answer, an explanation recalls what to remember. Hints are free, and you can go back.

The game follows the French national curriculum: 4e is the third year of middle school in France, for students aged 13 to 14. Elsewhere, it works as general knowledge for curious learners of that age. Play it again and you get other questions: it is good practice right after the lesson or before a test.

Tip for a successful review

Think about where the goods travel: what leaves the ports, what comes back from the colonies, and who gets rich along the way. A map of the ports helps you place each city. If you get it wrong, read the explanation carefully: it tells you what to remember.
