IMHO, 2020 is shaping up to be at least somewhat similar to 1968, in terms of upheaval - e.g. perhaps in the US especially, there is once again heavy social and political unrest. Someone once said that in 1968 it was just one damn thing after another. Anyway, fwiw, here's the wiki for the year 1968, followed by the wiki for 2020 (coincidentally, also a leap year):

A somewhat old article, but still relevant (especially for Americans):
