About this game

Review the lesson “Colonial societies” from the French history curriculum for 4e (ages 13–14). Its questions are about colonial society, with the example of Madagascar: colonists and colonized people, unequal status, contacts and resistance.

Review the lesson “Colonial societies”

This review game covers a single lesson of the French history curriculum for 4e: “Colonial societies”, from the unit “Europe and the world in the 19th century.” Its questions are about colonial society, with the example of Madagascar: colonists and colonized people, unequal status, contacts and resistance.

Each round has 10 questions drawn at random from the lesson: multiple choice, fill in the blanks and matching. 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

Identify who has which rights in a colony: colonists and colonized people do not live under the same rules. Look also for signs of resistance. If you get it wrong, read the explanation carefully: it tells you what to remember.
