Bohr Model developed and published
This was his start to the Correspondence Principle. He based his model off of Rutherford's model and depicted a positive nucleus surrounded by negative electrons with electromagnetic forces rather than gravity being the pulling force of attraction (Hubble 2009.)

Nobel Prize in Physics
Niels took the quantum concept and applied it to atomic and molecular structures so their values and energy were also restricted values (Britannica 1998.) His investigation provided atomic structure and a number to the radiation they emitted (Hubble 2009.)

Correspondence Principle announced
At a conference in Como, Italy, Niels announced his principle. The principle states that physical phenomenons express themselves differently at atomic levels, depending on how you are viewing it (Britannica 1998.) Here's a link to a great video: https://youtu.be/EUdBxngtw1o Britannica, The Editors of Encyclopaedia. “Complementarity Principle.” Encyclopædia Britannica, Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc., 20 July 1998, www.britannica.com/science/complementarity-principle. -
Reply to Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen
EPR sent an argument to Bohr in regards to the Como Lecture that stated particles entangled are part of separate systems, not Bohr's take on Quantam Physics (InformationPhilosopher,N.D..) Bohr replied to this argument with the "freedom of choice" and ended up being right in the end! The Free Will Theorem, http://www.informationphilosopher.com/freedom/free_will_theorem.html -
Bohr publishes The Causality Problem in Atomic Physics
Further enhancing his argument of "free choice." "The complete freedom of the procedure in experiments common to all investigations of physical phenomena, is in itself of course contained in our free choice of the experimental arrangement, which again is only dictated by the particular kind of phenomena we wish to investigate (Bohr, 1938.)"

Free Will Theorem Published
Conway and Kochen took Bohr's ideas of free will and were able to complete them into an entire theorem based on three axioms: SPIN, FIN, and TWIN. (InformationPhilosopher n.d.)
