I would like to suggest an end date for the "Late Modern Period."
one problem with this, of course, is that the term "late modern" itself intrinsically suggests that it is still ongoing, as it is the "modern" period in which we all live. However, I would suggest that the "late modern period" was actually a period with a beginning and an end, and was typified by the great conflicts of the 20th century, starting with the Franco-Prussian War as a precursuor, and then of course World War I, World War II, and the Cold War.
I would submit that the "Late Modern Period" was succeeded by the "Information Age" which in fact is now the current period in which we all live. Obviously, one next step would be to find some published sources for this premise. equally obviously, clearly this is not a question that needs to be resolved immediately. presumably, people, may happen upon this question a decade or two from now. at some point, this question of delineating the "late modern period" from whatever comes next will in fact become more relevant. I am simply introducing this question for some initial discussion, if possible. I may also post this question at WP:Pump. I welcome any comments. thanks. --- Sm8900 ( talk) 🌍 14:50, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Early modern period which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 02:31, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
Can someone provide sources for the term "late modern period"? Peter Isotalo 20:00, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
This article does not provide any sources to justify its existence despite being around for a very long time. There are no reliable sources justifying its existence as a separate topic rather than simply being described as part of the modern period. Peter Isotalo 08:40, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
I've raised the problems in this and the related articles modern era, early modern period and modernity in Wikiproject History. Thread can be found here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject History#Modernity articles are a hot mess
I recommend a joint discussion for all these articles since they seem to suffer from very similar issues. Peter Isotalo 13:54, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
