The current iteration had the Eugenics Wars in the late 90s/early 2000s - it was a secret happening behind the scenes during the conflicts in the Middle East. WWIII starts in 2026.

I think Sanctuary Districts were the most impressive timing so far, it was introduced in the 90s and set in 2024, and now we have sanctuary cities building temporary housing in a similar fashion. The residents would be a bit different though.
