About this game

Review the lesson “Independence movements” from the French history curriculum for 3e (ages 14–15). Its questions are about independence movements after 1945: why the colonial empires break up, how new states are born in Asia and Africa, in different ways, and what place they seek in a world split in two; then the Algerian War, its actors, its stages up to independence, and the memories it has left.

Review the lesson “Independence movements”

This review game covers a single lesson of the French history curriculum for 3e: “Independence movements”, from the unit “The world since 1945.” Its questions are about independence movements after 1945: why the colonial empires break up, how new states are born in Asia and Africa, in different ways, and what place they seek in a world split in two; then the Algerian War, its actors, its stages up to independence, and the memories it has left.

Each round has 10 questions drawn at random from the lesson: multiple choice, matching, short answers 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: 3e is the fourth and last year of middle school in France, for students aged 14 to 15. 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

For each question, first find the country and the moment it is about, then how that country frees itself: through negotiation or by force of arms. For a timeline, begin with what had to exist already for the rest to be possible. When a question is about memories, ask who is telling the story: each group did not live through those years in the same way. If you get it wrong, read the explanation carefully: it tells you what to remember.
