Review the lesson “1789: the end of the Old Regime”

This review game covers a single lesson of the French history curriculum for 4e: “1789: the end of the Old Regime”, from the unit “The 18th century, an age of expansion, Enlightenment and revolutions.” Its questions are about the causes of the Revolution and its first key moments: the Estates-General, the storming of the Bastille, the end of privileges and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen.

Each round has 10 questions drawn at random from the lesson: multiple choice, true or false, fill in the blanks, 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: 4e is the third year of middle school in France, for students aged 13 to 14. 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

The Revolution begins with several events in just a few months: learn them in order. For each one, ask what changes for the king and for the French people. If you get it wrong, read the explanation carefully: it tells you what to remember.
