1961 - um... setting up the space program: Kennedy's "fly men to the moon in this decade" speech to the joint session of congress?
1492 - "Back in 1492 (Christopher Columbus) Sailed across the ocean blue (Christopher Columbus)" (old beginners piano piece)...

1968 - Assassination of MLK, Assassination of Bobby Kennedy, the 68 Convention in Chicago, Students go nuts all over Europe...

Obviously I'm bad on anything before 1000, and not that great on anything before the 1860s or so... And even then I'm not entirely certain of a lot of them...
