Question

What happened in 1797 in London?

1) The London Missionary Society was established
2) The British Museum was founded
3) The Industrial Revolution began
4) The Battle of Waterloo took place

Answer 1

In 1797, the London Missionary Society was established in London.

Step-by-step explanation:

The British Museum was founded in 1753, not in 1797, so option 2 can be eliminated. The Industrial Revolution began in the late 1700s, but there is no specific event in London in 1797 related to it, so option 3 can be eliminated as well. The Battle of Waterloo took place in 1815, which is also not in 1797, so option 4 can be eliminated.

This leaves us with option 1 - The London Missionary Society was established in 1795, and it did have activities in London. The society was founded to promote missionary work around the world, and London became its headquarters. So, the correct answer is that in 1797 in London, the London Missionary Society was established.
