i been looking at a college history textbook , and in each of the chapters are divided into from one period after another; Enlightenment, Revolutions, Industrialization, World Wars and Cold War. Anyways it got me thinking about a general history textbooks in future, where I have a glimpse of a period that hasn't happen yet or revealed itself in it's entirety yet.
This is what the index of the textbook would look like
1. End of the Cold War, Fall of the Berlin Wall, Break up of the Soviet Union, Gulf War 1989-1991
2. Globalization, Humanitarian intervention: Somalia, Break up of Yugoslavia 1991-1998
3. Rise of Al Qaeda and War on ******, Iraq Freedom 1998- 2011
4. Old enemies renewed; Russia Revanchism, Arab Spring and the rise of new New Caliphates 2011-....
6..................................................................................................
What do you think is in store for us next? 2016-2024, and what would it be called?
Some Ideas
Cyber warfare
iran
China
Russia
North Korea
Venezuela
Non-state actor, terrorist group
