There could be more little wars, and more Amons all over the world, and she wouldn't know it yet.
I dug this line. On one hand, she's making it before the big coup. On the other hand, it still holds true. The Equalists aren't actually a worldwide threat, even at the apex of their power. One big war in one city is still, in the grand scheme of things, a fairly modest problem, especially since we're never given any real sense that Equalism has a wider appeal outside Republic City.
So the line has a lot of punching power for me. Korra's right. In the long-term view of her life, Amon and his war will just be a blip for her. Her first real challenge, sure, but 'first' in a line of 'many'.
