Modern Age

Historical period that follows the Middle Ages and is characterized by significant shifts in social, political, economic, and cultural aspects of human civilization. It varies by region, but in a Western context, it typically spans from the late 15th century (with the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance) to the present day. The Modern Age is marked by important developments, including the Age of Exploration, the Renaissance, the Reformation, the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, and the emergence of nation-states.
