About this game

Review the lesson “The Cold War” from the French history curriculum for 3e (ages 14–15). Its questions are about the Cold War: how the world divides after the Second World War around the United States and the USSR, with rival models and alliances; then the great crises, from Berlin to Cuba, their actors, and how they end.

Review the lesson “The Cold War”

This review game covers a single lesson of the French history curriculum for 3e: “The Cold War”, from the unit “The world since 1945.” Its questions are about the Cold War: how the world divides after the Second World War around the United States and the USSR, with rival models and alliances; then the great crises, from Berlin to Cuba, their actors, and how they end.

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 city or country it is about, then the side of each actor: Washington’s or Moscow’s. For a timeline, begin with what had to exist already for the rest to be possible. If you get it wrong, read the explanation carefully: it tells you what to remember.
