Which one among the following events was not associated with French Revolution ?
Explanation
The French Revolution (1789–1799) was characterized by pivotal events such as the calling of the Estates General on May 5, 1789, by Louis XVI to address financial crises [2]. Following a deadlock, the Third Estate formed the National Assembly and took the Tennis Court Oath on June 20, 1789, vowing to create a new constitution [3]. During the radical phase known as the Reign of Terror, the guillotine became the primary instrument for executions, including that of King Louis XVI in 1793. In contrast, the Battle of Concord (April 1775) was a significant military engagement of the American War of Independence, occurring over a decade before the French Revolution began. While the American Revolution influenced French revolutionary thought, the Battle of Concord remains an event exclusive to the American struggle against British rule [3].
