Modern history
Modern history, also referred to as the modern period or the modern era, is the historiographical approach to the timeframe after the post-classical era (known as the Middle Ages).〔Intrinsic to the English language, "modern" denotes (in reference to history) a period that is opposed to either ancient or medieval—modern history comprising the history of the world since the close of the Middle Ages.〕〔(''The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia'', Page 3814 )〕 Modern history can be further broken down into the ''early modern period'', beginning with the Renaissance, and the late modern period after the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution. Contemporary history is the span of historic events that are immediately relevant to the present time. The modern era began approximately in the 16th century.〔Dunan, Marcel. ''Larousse Encyclopedia of Modern History, From 1500 to the Present Day''. New York: Harper & Row, 1964.〕〔(modern. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000 )〕
==The study of modern history==
Some events, while not without precedent, show a new way of perceiving the world. The concept of modernity interprets the general meaning of these events and seeks explanations for major developments.
