Imma be honest, most of these events will either be just quickly mentioned or not even taught

Increased forest fires, covid, January 6, Shinzo Abe getting assassinated, and Ukraine will probably be mentioned.

Going past 2022, the India/Canada thing and Palestine will probably only be taught worldwide if they change the status quo. The string of military coups across Africa is definitely going to lead to something bigger, so that will probably be taught, and we’re probably in the “buildup” stages for a future event, when you look at the rise of neofascist leaders just everywhere.

Shinzo Abe won't, neither will forest fires or January 6

Abe's assassination was notable in Japan, but didn't have major global ramifications. I think it's unlikely it'll be taught much outside of Japan.

The forest fires will likely only be mentioned in a general "climate change was ramping up" kind of way.

Jan 6 would definitely be a major event for the Trump administration chapter. But it would highly depend on which country you live in whether or not it would be given much attention.

Just as a comparison: we've been taught about the fall of the Berlin wall. Who Reagan was was barely a paragraph in that chapter.
