Why is it easier to re construct the history of the modern period than earlier times?

Reconstructing the history of the modern period is easier than earlier times primarily due to the abundance of written records, including books, newspapers, and official documents, which provide detailed accounts of events and societal changes. Additionally, advancements in technology and communication have facilitated the preservation and dissemination of historical information. The proliferation of academic research, oral histories, and digital archives further enriches our understanding of recent history, making it more accessible than that of earlier eras where records were scarce or lost.
