📜 November 26: On This Day in History

Here’s looking at you, kid

Each of the following events happened on November 26. Your challenge is to put them in the order in which they occurred by year, earliest to latest. Answers at the bottom!

  • A) Casablanca, a World War II-era drama starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, premieres in New York City. It goes on to win three Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.
  • B) In one of the biggest heists in history at the time, six gunmen break into the Brink’s-Mat depot near London's Heathrow Airport, expecting to steal ~£1 million in currency. Instead, they stumbled on a motherlode of gold bullion worth ~£26 million.
  • C) The first “Land Camera”—known today as the instant Polaroid camera—goes on sale at Jordan Marsh department store in Boston for $89.75.
  • D) The National Hockey League is officially founded, featuring just four Canadian teams. The first American club, the Boston Bruins, is added seven years later.

Hint: Casablanca was made during the second World War
