Because the number of extant sources is usually greater, and that makes the corroboration of details easier.

There may be certain events or aspects of the modern period that have few sources, however, and in that case, reconstructing that part of modern history should prove difficult and challenging, if not impossible.

What year did modern history start?

1789 was the start of modern history. :) Personnaly I would go back a lot further, to the Renaisance. All history is a continuum, but certainly there are some eras where things did take off rapidly. 1789 ignores the start of serious science in the West, and the age of western exploration.
