There are three schools of thought concerning this:
One is that modern history is from 1950 onward.
Another is that modern history is from 1899 onward

Modern history is the considered the time after the "middle ages", beginning around 1500. Modern history is comprised of two eras, early modern through about 1800 and late modern which is followed by contemporary history.

Modern History is only part of history. Modern history is from 1850 onward in some ways.
