About this game

Review the lesson “The Resistance and the Liberation” from the French history curriculum for 3e (ages 14–15). Its questions are about the Resistance and the Liberation during the Second World War: General de Gaulle’s appeal, broadcast on the radio from London to reject the defeat; those who keep fighting outside France and those who resist in secret on French soil; the forms of the Resistance; the role of Jean Moulin and the place of women in the Resistance; resistance movements elsewhere in occupied Europe; the liberation of Paris; and the return of the Republic at the Liberation.

Review the lesson “The Resistance and the Liberation”

This review game covers a single lesson of the French history curriculum for 3e: “The Resistance and the Liberation”, from the unit “Europe, a major theater of total wars (1914-1945).” Its questions are about the Resistance and the Liberation during the Second World War: General de Gaulle’s appeal, broadcast on the radio from London to reject the defeat; those who keep fighting outside France and those who resist in secret on French soil; the forms of the Resistance; the role of Jean Moulin and the place of women in the Resistance; resistance movements elsewhere in occupied Europe; the liberation of Paris; and the return of the Republic at the Liberation.

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

Keep apart those who fight from outside the country, around General de Gaulle, and those who resist in secret inside it. To put events in order, ask yourself, for each one, what had to exist already for it to be possible. In front of a document, always ask who produced it, where, and for whom. If you get it wrong, read the explanation carefully: it tells you what to remember.
