Your challenge is to put them in the order in which they occurred by year, earliest to latest. Answers at the bottom! - A) The Hula Hoop, a hip-swiveling toy that exploded in popularity across America five years earlier, is patented by Wham-O. An estimated 25 million Hula Hoops were sold in its first four months of production alone.
- B) British Prime Minister Winston Churchill delivers his famous Iron Curtain speech condemning the Soviet Union’s policies in Europe, and declaring: “From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the continent.” Churchill’s speech is considered one of the opening volleys in the Cold War.
- C) Harassed by a mob, British troops open fire and kill four people in the Boston Massacre, an event that galvanizes anti-British feelings in Massachusetts.
- D) An impeachment trial of a US president begins in the Senate for the first time ever. President Andrew Johnson stands accused of having violated the controversial Tenure of Office Act, designed to protect Johnson’s Cabinet from being fired without congressional approval.
