So basically each person comes up with a few for each year until we got a decent song. Feel free to suggest changes and include a small description of what happened. Remember this isn't just about politics, but we need ALOT of pop culture! We will cover 1949 - 1989 just like the original song, feel free to contribute as much or as little as you want.

Ill start :

1949 :
Thomas Dewy- Inaugurated President in 1949.
Carl Huey- Legendary African-American baseball player.
Einstein - Einstein's assassination by a rouge Muslim extremist after hearing that he was considering becoming Israel's first president.
Palestine - End of 1948 Isreali war with surrounding Arab states resulting in establishment of Palestine.
Two Chinas- End of Civil War with Communists in Manchuria, Mongolia, and Sianking while the KMT holds the south.
Minaas- Assumed identity of Adolf Eichmann, Alexander Minaas, caught in Spain and handed over to a German Prison.
