The contemporary era is generally considered to have begun around the mid-20th century, specifically after World War II in 1945. This period is characterized by significant social, political, and technological changes, including the rise of globalization, the Cold War, and advancements in communication and technology. Some scholars may also mark the start of the contemporary era with the end of the Cold War in the early 1990s, reflecting a shift in global dynamics.
