Click on the year you were born,and read the news for that year....goes back to 1900.
This list of years was sent to me by a friend. The site allows you to interact with it to learn all sorts of different information regarding the year in which you want to know about. There is a section on World Events, US Events, Economics, Sports, Entertainment, and Science. You can even view the calendar from that year and select a day from it to see what, if anything, has occurred that has been significant on it.
Infoplease doesn't strictly offer this yearly information. It also has an organization system featuring an encyclopedia, dictionary, thesaurus, quizzes, Woman's Health, Campaign 2008 and more. However, I find that the year information by birthyear to be very interesting.
