1788

I'm operating under the assumption that the Catholic Church sticks to a strict timetable, control over Europe by 1813, control over the world reserve currency by 1913, and so it is only logical that the French Revolution should have started in 1788, 25 years after the Treaty of Paris.

Well, in a way it did. But looking through Wikipedia's page on 1788, I found some other remarkable events.

Firstly, sticking to the Treaty of Paris, in October 1788 George III fell mentally ill.

Secondly, according to my theory on the psyche's effect on the weather, fear leads to cold weather, the best example of which being the Russian winter of 1941. Interestingly, France was graced with two such events in 1788:

• on the 13th of July a hailstorm swept across France with hailstones as big as quart bottles that took three days to melt and
• starting November 25, a cold record was set with the temperature staying below freezing point for 50 consecutive days.
  

Thirdly, and most characteristically in view of the current medical ethics, from April 13 to April 15, when only six states had joined the United States, and before the state of New York had done so, America's first recorded riot broke out among the residents of Manhattan, who got angry about grave desecrators digging up corpses for doctors to dissect.
