By popular demand, the time scales for the "Early Modern & Imperial Age" and "Modern History" Forums have been changed.
The "Early Modern & Imperial Age" Forum now covers World History from about 1500 until the end of WW1 (1917/1918).
The "Modern History" Forum now covers World History from the aftermath of WW1 (Russian Revolution/Treaty of Versailles) until the present.
Threads will be moved accordingly ( and gradually)
However, all current events, should be discussed in the "Current Affairs" Forum. (Please note the posting restrictions in effect)
