Welcome to Late Modern series of the World History Summarized project! The entire project is meant to summarize broad topics in history and balances political history and events, with social/daily life, and culture. If you've watched our History of the World documentary, the project is a perfect next step. The videos are standalone, but presented in a chronological fashion. This series "the Late Modern" takes place after our megadocumentaries "The Ancient World", "The Medieval World", and the "Early Modern". It will be divided into 6 or 7 videos about the Late Modern period (c. 1800 - 1945) all over the world, and will be called Phase 4. Once these videos are completed, we will move onto Phase 5, the FINAL PHASE of the project, but this series will be considered completed, and compiled into ONE MEGA-DOCUMENTARY containing all 6 or 7 parts.
