Are there exact dates of "modern history"?

1 Answer

Answer :

That depends on how exact you want to get. Modern History is taken to mean history from the Middle Ages forward. As such, early modern history began in the 1500s. Exactly what day of what year might be open to debate, but over the long haul of human history and prehistory, that’s a pretty definitive time period.
