Wikipedia lets you do just that. Type in a year, and it will show you all of the major events from that year. Type in a decade (e.g. "1860's") and it will show you the major events that defined that decade.

A slick UI would be nice, but I don't know of one. I knew a third of those wars off the top of my head, and filled in the rest using Wikipedia (skipping a bunch of smaller skirmishes, and a couple of bigger ones, for the sake of brevity...I made my point).
