my thoughts:

I got an NES as a wedding present, and I got married in 1989, so I think the USSR went after that (91?)
Nixon 72
MLK 68
sputnik 60
Castro 59
Elvis 54
Picasso 40s?
Relativity had to be 30s or so
Not sure on India, but I'm guessing '20s (should be easy for the brits)

Sputnik was before the King assassination.
India was a long time ago, wasn't it, like in the 1930s.

-Theory of General Relativity is published -- going to say 1915 or so
-Picasso's Guernica is first exhibited -- 1920s?
-India declares independence from the UK -- 1930s?
-Castro seizes power in Cuba - 1950s
-Elvis Presley records his first record - 1950s
-Soviets launch Sputnik - late 1950s
-Martin Luther King assassinated - April 4, 1968
-Richard Nixon resigns - 1973
Bonus event: Xaston's birth
-Collapse of the Soviet Union - 1989
-Nintendo NES first sold in the U.S. - 1990s I think
