Timeline 1964: Major Events That Defined 1964

As 1964 began, the world was still reeling from President John F. Kennedy's shocking assassination—but history didn't pause. We explore the chaos, conflict, and surprising moments that shaped one of the 20th century's most turbulent years. From martial law in South Korea and explosive race riots in Harlem to a dramatic coup in South Vietnam, 1964 was filled with events that altered global history.
