Welcome to The Year Game, where I'll be posting polls about what people associate with years, inspired by @thestategame and @countriesgame. We'll start at the present and then work our way back until either associations run out or I get bored.
Submit associations for 1780-1790 because I think it's more interesting this way and so this doesn't end up being a mix of the obvious and my personal hyperfixations

The type of people who watched Adolescence and actually thought it was good and realistic would not have survived the Second Schleswig War. Completely unrelated set of concepts that have no link but they wouldn't have survived because not many people knew at the time that trying to bypass the Danevirke would prove to be a mistake that would go on to cost a great deal of energy and eventual lives, lives presumably statistically comprised of those transported back in time to 1864 Schleswig after having watched Adolescence

(limited to Europe because there are limited slots per poll)
*The Long 19th century is the period between the French Revolution and the The First World War.
The French Revolution: The original, the classic. It's got Robespierre and Marat and a Guillotine.
The Serbian Revolution: Resisting Ottoman Rule? Forming a new state? Creating a Constitution? Serbia kicked it off in the Balkans nevermind that it took three tries and three decades.
The Greek Revolution: Have you become hopelessly invested in the idea of Greece as the cradle of civilization? Do you want to die fighting for it in a way that is tragic and romantic? Then you might be Lord Byron.
The Carbonari Uprisings: Secret societies are more your speed? Here is one in Italy doing their best to try to make liberal reform happen.
The Decembrist Revolt: So, a bunch of officers came back from Napoleonic Europe wanting to see constitutional change and possibly the abolition of serfdom. Sounds reasonable, right? Right??
The July Revolution: Can you hear the people sing? You know the one, barricades and the most iconic painting in French history. Louis Philippe ends up on the throne and he is....sexy to someone.
The November Uprising: Congress Poland decides that they are sick of the tsar. Poland undertakes a tragically doomed struggle against Russia.
The Belgian Revolution: The Belgians decide to file for divorce from The United Netherlands. Leopold of Saxe-Coburg ends up on the throne and he's sexy.
The 1848 Revolutions: The Springtime of the People! Revolutions everywhere: France, Hungary, Poland, Austria, The Italian and German States.
The January Uprising: The third time is the charm on kicking out the tsar and making a Polish state, right?
The Paris Commune: Napoleon III abdicates and leaves after being thumped by the Prussians. For two months, a communist people's regime rules Paris.
The Russian Revolution of 1905: This is not the one with Lenin yet! This is the one that forces Nicky to create a Duma. Some consider it the dress rehearsal for what would come next.
