Whoa... yeah. For almost all of them. Colour me very impressed!
Though 622 is the year Muslims count as the beginning of the Islamic calendar, as it's the year of hijra, when Muhammed went to Medina.
I get the destruction of the Temple as 70AD. Constantinople fell in 1453, and the Crusaders left in the 1291 or so... and I had to look all of the above up on Wikipedia, so you can take those dates with a grain of salt ;)
And yeah, 1973 is Pinochet, though I was actually thinking of two American events, because I am apparently not only a sucky Canadian and internationalist, I suck as a member of the Chilean Diaspora as well. ::sigh::
