My first thought was persian Gulf, but that isn't a Sea and the Gulf of Adan is the South of Yemen. I tried to think of a Sea and then Arabian Sea came to mind. I was about 50% sure I didn't just make that up.

I had no idea. That makes more sense.

1789 is the french revolution and it mentioned it was made by a physician/politician. Guillotine made sense.

I had no idea and I still have no idea what this is referring to. I just guessed SF as another major city going Westward. I considered LA and Denver too.
