During which years did the An Lushan Rebellion occur?

• A. 755-763
• B. 800-808
• C. 700-710
• D. 765-772

Answer: (A)

The question is about when the An Lushan Rebellion happened, a major upheaval in the Tang dynasty. It began in 755 CE when An Lushan rose up against Emperor Xuanzong, quickly shaking the empire: Chang’an was captured and An declared a rival state, Great Yan, in that same period. The revolt dragged on through heavy fighting and upheaval, but imperial forces gradually pushed back, and by 763 the rebellion was effectively ended as Tang regained most of the territory. So, the window 755–763 best fits the rise, peak, and suppression of the rebellion. The other date ranges miss the central timeline: they occur either long before or after the main conflict.
