Within any given year of this chronology, events are not actually in a time sequence, although some events are given by month or exact date. In this chronology you will notice some conflicting information, usually with respect to dates, regarding events. This is due to different sources and it is left to historians to resolve these conflicts.
The author requests information in places where certain information is missing. Kindly suggest any additions or modifications to this chronology by contacting John Impagliazzo at cscjzi@hofstra.edu . All suggestions must include the accurate date of the event and the source or sources from which it came. Current events, defined by occurrences over the past ten years, are welcome.
