#2: Initial revision
Which one you use I think depends on when "today's" perspective became popular. If "today" is recent: > The colonists dump the tea into Boston Harbor to protest George III's hated tax. **This incident has since** become the inspiration for the name of the neoconservative movement of the early 2010s. vs. if "today" was decided a long time ago and continues through today: > The colonists dump the tea into Boston Harbor to protest George III's hated tax. **This incident would go on to** be called the "Boston Tea Party." You _can_ use "This incident will go on to..." _if_ you are remaining in the battle for the rest of the paragraph (and just using that phrase to jump forward for a moment): > The colonists dump the tea into Boston Harbor to protest George III's hated tax. **This incident will go on to** be called the "Boston Tea Party," but on the morning of December 17, 1773, the _Boston Globe_ calls it "The Oolong Walk Off a Short Plank."
