This year, I saw many political turning points from all across the world. Whether positive, negative, unexpected, or even hilarious, all the moments served as milestones throughout the year.
Definitely, the assassination attempt on the US presidential candidate Donald J. Trump was one of the most notable events of the whole year. In the chaos of the shooting, Trump raised his fist and exclaimed to his supporters, “Fight, fight, fight!” This event, indeed, came as a huge shock for me and others all across the globe—which made it my top choice for 2024. After this epic comeback, Trump continued to triumph all throughout his campaign, leading to his final victory in the 47th presidential election.
2024 also marked significant shifts of power in multiple nations, including Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The Conservative Party and the Liberal Democratic Party, which ruled Britain and Japan for over a decade, completely lost the elections. This, together with Trump’s return to office, is expected to cause massive waves of change in international relations in 2025.
