Dude, none of these are gonna be considered "major." If you were to travel to the year 2500 and asked people about COVID-19 or the war in Ukraine, only huge history nerds would have any idea of what you're talking about

You mean we're not still talking about the Cocoliztli epidemic and the Eighty Years' War?

You're setting the bar a little high by putting us 500 years in the future, though. I think things just 100 years or so ago can be considered "major", and COVID-19 and Ukraine might both make the bill.
