Contemporánea: La historia desde 1776 is a manual that analyzes history from the perspective of what is current today. The starting point is 1776, with the promulgation of the first modern constitutions in the British colonies of America. From there, it examines the changes of the 19th century, such as the liberal revolutions, industrialization, capitalism, nationalism, social changes, the labor movement, secularization, and European colonial expansion. It also addresses the major events of the 20th century, from the World War and the Russian Revolution to the fall of communism and the dominance of the United States. The work examines the processes underway in the globalized world of the 21st century and is complemented by documents, tables, treaties, legal texts, and maps.

Miguel Artola Gallego was a Spanish intellectual and historian. He was born in San Sebastián, and died, aged 96, in Madrid.
