RQ234 is based on historical events from the 1989 Billy Joel hit "We Didn't Start the Fire". All you need to do is name the year in which the following 15 events occurred. They are listed in chronological order and answers do NOT repeat, which should provide enough clues, So you need to be spot-on with the year. > No cheating and all that. Any ties will be decided in an arbitrary and yet to be determined manner. Good luck gentleman! > 1 Harry Truman's is the first US Presidential Inauguration to be televised. 1949 > 2 North Korea and South Korea declare war after communist forces invade the south. 1951 > 3 Queen Elizabeth II succeeds to the throne. 1952 > 4 Joseph Stalin dies on March 5. 1954 > 5 Disneyland opens on July 17. 1955 > 6 The Suez Crisis worsens as Egypt nationalizes the Suez Canal. 1956 > 7 Sputnik becomes the first artificial satellite. 1957 > 8 Charles de Gaulle is elected president of France. 1959 > 9 Fidel Castro comes to power after a revolution in Cuba. 1960 > 10 Berlin is separated into East and West when the Berlin Wall is erected. 1962 > 11 Cardinal Giovanni Montini is elected to the papacy as Paul VI. 1963 > 12 Richard Nixon is elected President. 1968 > 13 Woodstock rock and roll festival. 1969 > 14 Sally Ride becames the first American woman in space aboard Challenger on the STS-7 shuttle mission. 1985 > 15 Bernie Goetz shoots four young men who he said were threatening him on a New York City subway. 1987 -- Replace "usenet" with "marc" in the e-mail address. |
