Review a unit of the French 4e history curriculum

This review game covers a unit of the French history curriculum for 4e: “The 18th century, an age of expansion, Enlightenment and revolutions.” Its questions come from the 8 lessons of the unit already online: “Ports and Atlantic trade”, “The Atlantic slave trade and slavery”, “The Enlightenment in Europe”, “The Enlightenment against absolute monarchy”, “1789: the end of the Old Regime”, “From constitutional monarchy to the Republic”, “Napoleon and the Empire” and “A society transformed by the Revolution”.

Each round has 10 questions drawn at random: 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 before a test.

Tip for a successful review

Before you answer, find which period the question is about: Atlantic trade and slavery, the Enlightenment, the French Revolution, or Napoleon’s Empire. For a timeline, place the oldest event first. If you get it wrong, read the explanation carefully: it tells you what to remember.
