About this game

Review the lesson “Nazi Germany”

This review game covers a single lesson of the French history curriculum for 3e: “Nazi Germany”, from the unit “Europe, a major theater of total wars (1914-1945).” Its questions are about Nazi Germany: the Wall Street Crash opens the Great Depression, which hits Weimar Germany hard and drives unemployment up; Hitler’s Nazi Party gains ground in elections; President Hindenburg appoints Hitler chancellor, by legal means; within months, after the Reichstag fire, the Enabling Act, and the ban on other parties, the Nazi Party becomes the single party; the repression of opponents, Goebbels’s control of minds, the book burnings, and young people enrolled in the Hitler Youth; state antisemitism, written into the law; and what Nazism has in common with Stalinism.

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

To put the key events in order, ask yourself, for each one, what had to have happened already to make it possible. To find out how a leader comes to power, ask yourself who, under the country’s laws, has the right to choose him. And tell apart what helps a party grow before it comes to power and what it does once it holds power. If you get it wrong, read the explanation carefully: it tells you what to remember.
