There are three schools of thought concerning this:
One is that modern history is from 1950 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. Most of this terminology is in reference to European and American history and their relationship with other continents.
Modern History is only part of history. Modern history is from 1850 onward in some ways.
1789 was the start of modern history. :) Personnaly I would go back a lot further, to the Renaisance. All history is a continuum, but certainly there are some eras where things did take off rapidly. 1789 ignores the start of serious science in the West, and the age of western exploration.
