1947
Partition of India
1947 functions as shorthand for events of that year, particularly Indian independence and partition, the Truman Doctrine, the founding of the CIA, or Jackie Robinson breaking baseball's color barrier.
In casual speech, it marks something as outdated: These policies are straight out of 1947.
