History by Year (1-50AD)

Fill in the blanks for the event that happened each year. Wikipedia has been used, and I have attempted to choose the most important event for each year. I will be making quizzes for the rest of the AD period, so stay tuned if interested.
Due to the variance in what states kept records, some places are disproportionately mentioned
Some years also have slightly obscure events noted as no groundbreaking events were recorded
I may have made a few mistakes, so any corrections would be highly appreciated
