What events do you believe coincided with the first 5 trumpets?

[Ff--150]

1st--dunno (maybe WWI?)
2nd--WWII, the great mountain burning, atomic explosion; and the third part of ships were destroyed. Off the top of my head 100k ships were involved with WWII, and some 36k were sunk. (Rev. 8:8,9)
3rd--Wormwood--Chernobyl, Chernobyl means wormwood in the Ukrainian language.
4th--unsure
5th--the Gulf War, or this war coming up. Saddam translates "destroyer," named so by his mother upon his child-birth. In Rev. 9:11 the king which is the angel of the bottomless pit is Abbadom in Hebrew, Apollyon in Greek, which also translate to "destroyer."
