📜 January 14: On This Day in History

Supreme season

Image: DONUT/OpenAI

Each of the following events happened on January 14. Your challenge is to put them in the order in which they occurred by year, earliest to latest. Answers at the bottom!

  • A) The Miami Dolphins achieve something no NFL team has repeated: a perfect season (17-0), capped by a victory in Super Bowl VII.
  • B) The Continental Congress ratifies the Treaty of Paris, in which Britain agreed to recognize the independence of its 13 former colonies as the new United States of America. The move officially ends the American Revolutionary War.
  • C) Diana Ross and the Supremes perform their final concert. Diana Ross would go on to a celebrated career as a solo artist.
  • D) Star actress Marilyn Monroe marries Yankees superstar OF Joe DiMaggio, tying the knot on a uniquely all-American couple. The marriage lasts only 274 days.

Hint: The Dolphins are the last (and only) team to achieve a perfect season
