	Please let me know of any variations of answers, that I have failed to provide.

	Oh, there are lots of variations. "Nationalized", for SCN; all of the "assassinated" could also be "assassination; "D-Day Landing" would be nice to accept. And you misspelled "Satellite", for SSL.

	spelling errors. also no Great Depression mentioned, Martin Luther King's death, fall of the Soviet Union, Israel becoming a nation, and a few others. Not bad though. I liked it

	Nelson Mandela Incarcerated Entebbe Airport Rescue Pearl Harbor Attack Queen Elizabeth Coronated/Coronation I love the idea of this puzzle (and smirked at WWI, very clever) and it shouldn't take much to make it front page stuff.

	I'm not sure I agree with rockgolf; I love the idea of the puzzle, but it works best with the clearly named events ("Bay of Pigs" or "Persian Gulf War"), and doesn't work nearly as well with events that don't have names, just descriptions with verbs ("assassinated", "imprisoned", "invades", etc.).

	Queen Elizabeth II wasn't crowned in 1952 she was crowned in 1953 but she became queen in 1952. Otherwise an interesting quiz.

	Many thanx for all the comments. I have made the above alterations and added the variations, but there must be more so keep them coming.

	Please change 'Easter Uprising' to 'Easter Rising' - its far more common name, although the alternative should also be accepted. Also, I'd change 'AIC - Arab-Israeli conflict' to 'YKW - Yom Kippur War', since the Arab-Israeli conflict has been going on before and after 1973

	Easter Rebellion is what some textbooks call it instead of Easter Rising or Uprising

	Flick:	Nov 27th, 2010 at 16:18 GMT		1 point
	Thanx Shay and cmeier for your input (Any other suggestions, thanx in advance).

	javonzir:	Nov 28th, 2010 at 10:03 GMT		1 point
	add different conjugations of the verbs like sinks in the past tense also six day war

	Mayan:	Nov 29th, 2010 at 11:03 GMT		1 point
	Love the quiz. 'Atomic Bomb Deployed' is the only thing I tried that wasn't accepted.

	Mai Lai for My Lai and slain for shot.

	TreehuggnCowgirl:	Nov 29th, 2010 at 22:57 GMT		1 point
	This quiz is a great idea! Usually quizzes that are looking for answers this specific are impossible and never all of the possible answers, but including the initials really makes it simpler. I appreciated WWI as well.

	Luke:	Nov 30th, 2010 at 02:46 GMT		1 point
	Very good quiz! Only alteration I would suggest is perhaps accepting 'Nazi War Trials.'

	Sollair:	Mar 16th, 2011 at 15:16 GMT		1 point
	It should always be like this. Finally I don't have to struggle to find the appropriate wording of events thanks to the guidance of the initials. It's quite gratifying. Well done!

	TessSGS:	May 6th, 2011 at 15:58 GMT		1 point
	Good quiz, maybe you should increase it to one event each year =)

	UneasyRider:	Sep 23rd, 2011 at 22:15 GMT		1 point
	Still problems with different tenses being preferred. Also didn't accept "Titanic sinking" or "German invasion of Poland". Still fun though!
