Modern History

About this course

Modern history focuses on the period from around 1800 to the present, a span that encompasses the industrial revolution, the age of empire, two world wars, the Cold War, decolonisation, and the emergence of the contemporary global order. It is a period of extraordinary transformation, in which the material conditions of human life, the political organisation of societies, the technologies of communication and warfare, and the cultural possibilities open to individuals have all changed beyond recognition. Studying modern history means engaging with this transformation in depth, developing the skills to interrogate evidence, construct historical arguments, and engage with the competing interpretations that historians have offered. At the University of Lincoln, the modern history programme specialises in the period from 1800 to the present, giving you a close focus on the historical forces
