Early modern period
In
history
, the
early modern period
of
modern history
follows the
late Middle Ages
of the
post-classical era
. Although the chronological limits of the period are open to debate, the
timeframe
spans the period after the late portion of the
post-classical age
(c. 1500), known as the Middle Ages, through the beginning of the
Age of Revolutions
(c. 1800) and is variously demarcated by historians as beginning with the
Fall of Constantinople
in 1453, with the
Renaissance
period, and with the
Age of Discovery
(especially with the
voyages of Christopher Columbus
beginning in 1492, but also with the
discovery of the sea route to the East
in 1498), and ending around the
French Revolution
in 1789.
