Each of the following events happened on August 6. Your challenge is to put them in the order in which they occurred by year, earliest to latest. Answers at the bottom!

• A) The United States becomes the first and only nation to use atomic weaponry during wartime by dropping an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Approximately 80,000 people are killed as a direct result of the blast, with another 60,000+ people dead by the end of the year due to effects from the fallout.
• B) Emperor Francis II of Austria dissolves the Holy Roman Empire after more than a millennium of history. Rather than allow an advancing Napoleon to claim the imperial title, Francis abdicates as Holy Roman emperor, ending one of Europe’s longest-lasting political institutions.
• C) Gertrude Ederle becomes the first woman to swim the 21 miles across the English Channel, from Dover, England, to Cape Griz-Nez. The 20-year-old swims the channel in 14 hours and 31 minutes, setting a new speed record by two hours.
• D) The first execution by electrocution in history is carried out in New York against William Kemmler, who was convicted of murdering his lover with an axe.

Hint: The atomic bomb wiped out 4 square miles of Hiroshima
