The world from the political revolutions of the late eighteenth century through the eve of the First World War, roughly 1789 to 1914: the Napoleonic Era, and the industrial and imperial order of the Gilded Age and the Belle Epoque. Belongs here: any era whose defining dates fall in this window. Does not belong here: the Enlightenment thought that precedes and enables this period, grouped under The Early Modern World, or the twentieth-century world the First World War opens, grouped under The Contemporary World.
