Independence events for the countries of Oceania
Just noticed there wasn't any events for the numerous countries in Oceania that gained their independence between 1960 and 2000. Also Tonga could be represented as a puppet of the United Kingdom in the 1946 start as it was essentially a protected pre colonial state of the British Empire since 1900 with that status ending in 1970. https://www.britannica.com/place/Tonga/history
When I was researching countries in Oceania looking for events, I think I might have found something that could be quite interesting, as of right now climate change is actually threatening the stability of several countries in Oceania particularity Kiribati and Tuvalu. Here are some some sources explaining how climate change is a massive threat to Kiribati and Tuvalu.
