I guess it depends on how far out you go. In 500 years, probably not significant. In 50-75 years (I was thinking about 20th century timelines when I was thinking about significance), maybe the forest fires and Jan. 6 aren’t hugely relevant if there’s nothing that builds on them, but COVID, Abe and Ukraine would have been taught in my school. We learned about the Spanish flu, the assaasination of William McKinley and the Crimean war, which seem similar and only the Crimean war was really connected to anything else by our teachers.
Not that I can remember. Did it shut down the entire world for several months and lay the groundwork for consolidation of money and power on a scale not seen before?
If so, I should have.
Edit: I’m dumb. I did learn about the Spanish flu, but I think of that as happening in the teens.

Did you learn about the 1920’s pandemic?
