Hi Debra Westle

I've had a lot of help with this quiz so only fair that I pass it on. These are the answers that I have got.

1818 Franz huber wrote the words to Stille Nacht Heiliger nacht

1820 Turks invade Athens

1829 Sutttee abolished in British India

1934 Adolf hitler became dictator

1938 Kuwait oil company claims Burgan

2004 European union expanded to Twenty Five - (there seems to be a feeling that this was a misprint)

What have you got for 1999 Others seem unsure on this one.

Good luck GG

Hi GG, do you have 1950 TSOSS please?

Thanks, Magyar.

[Debra Westle]

Thanks for those. I am in work at the moment so don't have the sheet with me. Remind me of the initials for 1999 and I will see if I can remember. Any luck with 1923 HBHPF?

Thanks so much for that. For 1820 (TIA) I have been given "Turks Invade Athens" but I looked in the encylopaedia at home and the Turks had already been in Greece since the 1600s. I am not sure about this one. Any other suggestions?
