MODERN HISTORY (apr 30, 1500 – dec 31, 2016)
Description:
Modern history, the modern period or the modern era, is the global historiographical approach to the timeframe after post-classical history. It can be further broken down into periods:
The early modern period began approximately in the early 16th century; notable historical milestones included the European Renaissance, the Age of Discovery, and the Protestant Reformation.
The late modern period began approximately in the mid-18th century; notable historical milestones included the French Revolution, the American Revolution, the Industrial Revolution and the Great Divergence. It took all of human history up to 1804 for the world's population to reach 1 billion; the next billion came just over a century later, in 1927.
Contemporary history is the span of historic events from approximately 1945 that are immediately relevant to the present time.
