Go to your local public library. Ask the staff for the World Almanac. There are volumes for each year. Ask for 1996-2005. (They're a year behind). Look in each volume for events. You will find LOTS of them.

Go look on www.wikipedia.com . You can look through each year and see events that happened those years. For example, if you go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_in_the_United_States it shows the events from 2004. At the top of that page are links to go one year ahead or one year back.
