OK, what was the "main event" in your birth year?  For self?  Well, most general, "D-Day."  But I was still slumbering inside Mom, but just before my advent the most severe earthquake for my state (since those recorded) jostled Mom, not far from the epicenter.  And a major hurricane swept ashore in my state on my birth day.  Maybe the low pressure pulled me out?  Yes, I'm outing myself: New York State, 1944.  Deal with it.

Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Reprove not a scorner, lest they hate thee: rebuke the wise, and they will love thee.

Give instruction to the wise, and they will be yet wiser: teach the just, and they will increase in learning.

Gulf of Tonkin incident a few months before I was born.

The few days around my birth hosted some Olympic games (I think in Japan).

At least those that have replied so far were born before (the first) Star Wars came out.  That is comforting to read

Im sure that there will be plenty who reply after will be Post Star Wars babies.

We went to see Star Wars I sometime in the first month after we were married.

It took that long for the snow to be cleared from the cinema steps across the rotary from our apartment.

The Berlin Wall was built the year I was born. (Probably not specifically to keep me out. Or in.)
It takes so little to be above average.

The Yankees won the World Series the year I was born.
