Review a unit of the French 5e history curriculum

This review game covers a unit of the French history curriculum for 5e: “Transformations of Europe and opening to the world in the 16th and 17th centuries.” Its questions come from the 6 lessons of the unit already online: “Europe discovers the world”, “Charles V and Suleiman, two empires”, “Humanism and the Renaissance”, “The Reformations and the Wars of Religion”, “Francis I and Henry IV” and “Louis XIV, the Absolute King”.

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

The game follows the French national curriculum: 5e is the second year of middle school in France, for students aged 12 to 13. Elsewhere, it works as general knowledge for curious learners of that age. Play it again and you get other questions: it is good practice before a test.

Tip for a successful review

For each question, ask yourself what it is about: the voyages of discovery and the empires, humanism and the Renaissance, the religious reformations, or the power of the kings of France. Then place each event on a timeline, from the oldest to the most recent. And remember that the kings’ authority does not grow in a straight line: wars and unrest run through it. If you get it wrong, read the explanation carefully.
