  1. I'll try.. I'm pretty good with  history, especially American

    1901: Death of Queen VIctoria

    1905: someone with the initials C-B as Prime Minister? Not sure.. not up as much on Canadian, British, etc. History.. know little about Prime ministers..

    1912: Sinking of the TItanic

    1913: Woodrow Wilson as President

    19:14:Assassination of Franz Ferdianand  at Sarajevo

    1917: Russian Revolution

    1918: End of FIrst World War

    1920: Prosperity in the USA??? (that's a longshot, but could be right, as the whole decade 1920-1929 is known for prosperity in the US.)

    I am NOT editing my answers after seeing other peoples.. no one until you gave any other good answer. I'm simply looking over the questions again and again and figuring out more, and adding.

    Well, that's all I got.  Just bear in mind I came up with these myself, honest to God, no cheating.. I kept posting and then looking over the questions again to see if I could figure any others out.    With 1914 I  did know what it was talking about (the assasination of the archduke) but I did check wikipedia to double check on his full name and where he was asassinated.

    OOOH, I SHOULD  have got 1903 and 1906.
