CThe Russian Revolution

DThe Second World War

Answer:

A. The French Revolution

Read Explanation:

The Tennis Court Oath is directly related to the French Revolution.

The Tennis Court Oath took place on June 20, 1789, during the early stages of the French Revolution. It was a pivotal moment in the Revolution when members of the Third Estate, which represented the common people (as opposed to the clergy and nobility), were locked out of a meeting of the Estates-General by King Louis XVI. In response, they gathered in a nearby indoor tennis court and swore an oath not to separate until they had drafted a new constitution for France.

This oath marked a crucial turning point as the members of the Third Estate proclaimed themselves as the National Assembly, asserting their right to represent the people of France and to challenge the absolute authority of the King. The Tennis Court Oath is often seen as the beginning of the shift towards the formation of a constitutional monarchy and a broader challenge to the old regime, which eventually led to the fall of the Bastille and the full-scale French Revolution.
