Shinzo Abe won't, neither will forest fires or January 6
It really depends on what comes next. If the US has a civil war in the next few years over maga, January sixth will matter. Same for if Japan goes very far right as a response. The forest fires probably not. They were the first sign of this wild El Niño though (iirc), so if we pull things together and actually do something about climate change because of all the storms over the next few years, it would be a convenient point to mention.
Lmfao sure bud
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.
