The modern era, spanning from the late 15th century to the present, differs from the post-classical era (approximately 500 to 1500 CE) primarily in terms of technological advancement, globalization, and socio-political structures. The modern era is characterized by the rise of scientific reasoning, industrialization, and the spread of democratic ideals, while the post-classical era saw the consolidation of empires, religious dominance, and the development of trade networks. Additionally, the modern era emphasizes individualism and the nation-state, contrasting with the feudal and communal systems prevalent in the post-classical period. These shifts have led to significant cultural, economic, and political transformations worldwide.
