1. life during world war two in frrance
Life was difficult for French citizens during World War 2 due to rationing and fears of the German occupation. Food rationing was severe, with families receiving barely enough to survive on. People grew small gardens and traded goods on the black market to get more food. There was constant fear of German soldiers, who were present everywhere and imposed curfews. Families hid in cellars during air raids and bombings. Some French citizens joined the resistance to collect information from Germans and support the allied forces. Throughout it all, children still found ways to play and enjoy life despite the hardships of war all around them.
4. the end of communism
Two out of ten French people don't know anything about the end of communism in Europe. Of those who learned about it, most did so through television or newspapers, while a few learned in school or from parents. Some could name leaders like Vaclav Havel or Lecj Walesa. The events mentioned included the fall of the Berlin Wall, Solidarnosc strikes in Poland, and the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia. When asked if it was important, some felt German reunification or the end of the Cold War were most significant, while others cited former communist countries joining the EU or economic changes in Europe.
