Each of the following events happened on April 1. Your challenge is to put them in the order in which they occurred by year, earliest to latest. Answers at the bottom!

• A) Nike releases its first-ever Air Jordan shoes, named for basketball superstar Michael Jordan. The Air Jordan 1 sells 450,000 pairs in its first month.
• B) The first collective players’ strike in Major League Baseball history begins. It lasts 12 days and causes 86 games to be cancelled, throwing the season into flux.
• C) Adolf Hitler is charged with high treason and sentenced for his role in the Beer Hall Putsch, an attempted coup by members of the army and the Nazi Party that was foiled. After his conviction, Hitler spends the remainder of the year in prison writing the first volume of Mein Kampf.
• D) US troops land on the Japanese island of Okinawa, marking the beginning of the Battle of Okinawa. The fight for this strategic island is especially brutal, with ~50,000 American casualties and ~117,000 on the Japanese side before America comes out victorious.

Hint: The Battle of Okinawa came in the second World War
