Timeline 2020 - Chron 5

Turn it up to 11 - a Double Timeline chain

The 20 events in this chain, when paired and sequenced correctly, occurred eleven years apart. There are two events per year.

Points awarded as follows:
One point for correctly identifying each year in the chain (10 total)
One point for each event matched to the correct year (20 total)

Note: The two events within each year can be placed in any order

Hint: Look for an obvious answer and build the chain around it (+/- 11 years). Once you have the chain in place it's much easier to match up the events. For instance, if you know one of the years is 1960 (it's not, BTW), then the chain could be built forward (1971, 1982...) and backwards (1949, 1938...). The start and end dates of the chain can be determined by the events.

Your answers should look like:

Year first
Event 1
Event 2

Year second
Event 1
Event 2

Year last
Event 1
Event 2
