What is Ancient history vs Modern history?

Modern history:- Modern history, or the modern era, is the historical timeline after the Middle Ages. Modern history can be further broken down into the early modern period 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. Many major events caused Europe to change around the start of the 16th century, starting with the Fall of Constantinople in 1453, the fall of Muslim Spain and the discovery of the Americas in 1492, and Martin Luther's Protestant Reformation in 1517. In England the modern period is often dated to the start of the Tudor period with the victory of Henry VII over Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.

Early modern European history is usually seen to span from the start of the 15th century, through the Age of Reason and the Age of Enlightenment in the 17th and 18th centuries, until the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the late 18th century. Ancient history:- Ancient history is the study of the written past from the beginning of recorded human history to the Early Middle Ages. The span of recorded history is roughly 5,000 years, with Cuneiform script, the oldest discovered form of coherent writing, from the protoliterate period around the 30th century BC.

This is the beginning of history, as opposed to prehistory, according to the definition used by most historians. The term classical antiquity is often used to refer to history in the Old World from the beginning of recorded Greek history in 776 BC (First Olympiad). This roughly coincides with the traditional date of the founding of Rome in 753 BC, the beginning of the history of ancient Rome, and the beginning of the Archaic period in Ancient Greece.

Although the ending date of ancient history is disputed, some Western scholars use the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD, the closure of the Platonic Academy in 529 AD, the death of the emperor Justinian I, the coming of Islam or the rise of Charlemagne as the end of ancient and Classical European history. In India, the period includes the early period of the Middle Kingdoms, and, in China, the time up to the Qin Dynasty is included. My suggestion:- modern is more interesting but harder, because it is so recent, so you need to know loads of accurate info.

Because it's harder it scales higher than ancient though. For ancient you can make up crap and just say stuff like, 'an unknown source said' and 'it is argued that.... but we don't know for sure that..' and all that crap, because it was so long ago. Ancient is generally a lot easier because of this, but it has a heck of content you'll have to get through- same goes for modern, but I think that ancient has more work.

I personally would go with modern- if your into wars, dictatorships and political, social and economic crisis stuff then thats for you. But if you like the aztecs, mummys, spartans, troy, minotaurs and all that ladida crap then you should go with ancient. Mind you, ancient can get quite boring.

I didn't really enjoy ancient as much as I did modern, yet I did heaps better in it. I dunno- whatever floats your boat, I guess.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
