Anything past 1945 is "modern" - surely?

If not, when does "modern" begin, and what do you call the period between WWII and "modern"?

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

You asked! 
Modern history, also referred to as the modern period or the modern era, is the historiographical approach to the timeframe after the post-classical era (known as 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.

Why thank you, Lemmey.

I'm gonna stick with "Post war" then.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Which war?

I plumped for "Late 20th Century" for the period 1950 to 1999.

Right! Fine! OK!
