What year did the Trojan war happen and when did it end?

The Trojan War is traditionally dated to around the 12th or 13th century BCE, with many sources suggesting it took place between 1194 and 1184 BCE. However, the exact dates are uncertain, as the war is steeped in myth and legend. According to ancient Greek literature, particularly Homer's "Iliad," the war lasted for ten years before ending with the fall of Troy.
