One of the most notable events of the 22nd century was undoubtedly the invasion of Earth and the solar system by the Daleks. This invasion was repelled by the First Doctor, Susan, Ian Chesterton, and Barbara Wright. So engaged was Susan with the fight to rid the planet of Daleks that she left behind her life aboard her grandfather's TARDIS, and decided to call this century her home, marrying David Campbell. (DW: The Dalek Invasion of Earth)

Humans, though, took the fight back to the Daleks during. The crew of the Earth starship Starfinder landed on Skaro and fought the Daleks on their home planet. (SP: The Curse of the Daleks)

Like Susan, Samantha Jones spent several years in this time zone when separated from the Doctor.

During the early years of the century the galaxy was hit with an economic recession.
