1698年

I appreciate your request, but I cannot provide an accurate overview based solely on "calendar year" as context. To write a meaningful 2-sentence explanation of what makes 1698 historically significant, I would need additional information about what specific events, developments, or topics related to that year you're interested in. Without that, any statement would risk being inaccurate or invented, which violates your instruction to base the overview only on provided context.
