Revolutions and Independence quizzes
Revolutions, colonial empires, independence movements
The Revolutions and Independence theme traces the moments when peoples overthrew a ruler or broke free from foreign control. It moves from the American Revolution of 1776 to the French Revolution, from the slave uprising in Saint-Domingue led by Toussaint Louverture to Simón Bolívar's liberation campaigns in South America, then from the Russian Revolution of 1917 to decolonisation in Africa and Asia.
Questions deal with causes, leaders such as Washington, Bolívar, Lenin or Gandhi, and notions like colonial empire, declaration of independence and republic. Every quiz on revolutions and independence is free, offers five difficulty levels from very easy to expert, and comes with an explanation after each answer.
