When did the French Revolution take place?

  1. 1648

  2. 1789

  3. 1848

  4. 1945

The correct answer is: 1789

The French Revolution took place in 1789. It is considered one of the most significant events in European history, lasting for a decade until 1799. Option A, 1648, is not the correct answer because this was the year of the end of the Thirty Years' War, which was a different event in history. Option C, 1848, is not the correct answer because this was known as the Year of Revolution in Europe, but it was not specifically about the French Revolution. Option D, 1945, is not the correct answer because this was towards the end of World War II, which was a different event in history.
