In 1968 what were the other protests/places not familiar with that should get attention

[Agonized-Statism]

In general, while acknowledging the very different circumstances behind each protest, I think historians should make a greater effort to tie the United States' 1968 protests, France's May '68, Italy's Years of Lead, the Prague Spring, China's Down to the Countryside movement, Mexico's Tlatelolco massacre, and so on together. All around the world, it was this critical mass of baby boomers asserting the power of the people, creating this zeitgeist/chaos (depending on your politics) that fed into itself, that then got defeated or compromised across the board. A pivotal moment in world history, and one we should all study when asking ourselves why hopelessness and powerlessness pervades now.

Latin America had some interesting '68 protests, as mentioned above, so you should check that out.
