Portal:2020s
The 2020s Portal The 2020s (pronounced "twenty-twenties" or "two thousand [and] twenties"; shortened to "the '20s" and also known as "The Twenties") is the current decade that began on 1 January 2020, and will end on 31 December 2029. The 2020s began with the COVID-19 pandemic. The first reports of the virus were published on 31 December 2019, though the first cases are said to have appeared nearly a month earlier. The pandemic led to a global economic recession, a sustained rise in global inflation, and a global supply chain crisis. The World Health Organization declared the virus a global state of emergency from March 2020 to May 2023. Many anti-government demonstrations and revolts occurred in the early 2020s, including in Hong Kong, India, Israel, Indonesia, France, Peru, Bangladesh, Armenia, and Thailand. Protests against certain local, state and national responses to COVID-19 took place, as well as protests, particularly in the United States, against racism and police brutality. There were many protests in Belarus, Eswatini, Myanmar, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Iran, China, Russia, Venezuela, Serbia, and Turkey against various forms of governmental jurisdiction, corruption, and authoritarianism; along with citizen riots in the United States and Brazil attempting to overturn election results. Among democracies in 2024, its elections saw an 80% loss of incumbent support worldwide, including several significant losses. Ongoing military conflicts include those in Myanmar, Ethiopia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mali, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Ukraine, and Gaza. The year 2021 saw the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan and the fall of Kabul to the Taliban, ending a nearly 20 years of war. The Russian invasion of Ukraine resulted in a refugee crisis, disruptions to global trade, and an exacerbation of economic inflation. In 2023, a Hamas-led attack on Israel triggered an Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip, a Palestinian territory. The invasion has led to the displacement of nearly all Gaza residents, a humanitarian crisis, a famine, and a polio epidemic, sparking global protests against Israel. In 2024, a quick and renewed rebel offensive during the Syrian civil war led to the toppling of Bashar al-Assad and the fall of his regime. In 2025, Israel launched airstrikes against Iran's nuclear facilities, triggering a brief a direct conflict between the two. Smaller conflicts include the insurgency in the Maghreb, the Iraq insurgency, the conflict between India and Pakistan, and the Philippine and the Mexican drug wars. (Full article...)
