Aqui está um MWE. O \addmilestonesque está comentado no MWE é o problema. As datas reais que preciso são apresentadas no final de cada \addmilestonecomando. Além disso, a cor das bolhas deve variar em tons de vermelho, de acordo com o tamanho da bolha. Bolha pequena = vermelho claro, bolha maior = vermelho sangue.

Responder1
Não tenho certeza se entendi corretamente, mas os nós que contêm os anos são nomeados como \timespan-\xi, onde \timespanestá o que você define timespan={}(ou seja, nada, no seu caso) e \xié um contador que começa em 1. Portanto, o nó de 1966, por exemplo é chamado -1, então você pode colocar seu marco em, por exemplo -1.south. Fiz os dois primeiros como exemplo, mas você mesmo pode preencher o resto. Não sei como você gostaria de colocar o texto:
Você pode notar que o círculo do marco não está exatamente centralizado no ano. A razão para isso é um espaço explícito no texto do nó, como você pode ver nas linhas98 e 102 emtikzlibrarytimeline.code.tex. Adicionar opções draw=whiteàs opções do nó demonstra isso:
No entanto, você pode corrigir a \timelinemacro para remover o espaço, com
\usepackage{xpatch}
\xpatchcmd{\timeline}{\timespan\ \x}{\x}{}{}
Não tenho resposta para a parte colorida.
