1905 was Albert Einstein revealing his theory of relatively

1912 is, obviously, the sinking of the RMS Titanic

1920 is the 19th Amendment recognizing that women have the right to vote

1929 is the stock market crash that led to the Great Depression

1945 I assume is the Nuremberg trials

1948 is the Berlin Airlift

1957 is the Soviet "Sputnik" artificial satellite, the first in the world

1968 was the year MLK Jr and RFK were assassinated

1969 was the moon landing

1986 was when the space shuttle Challenger exploded during liftoff
