10. I would begin my "recent" part at ca. 1500 because so much happened

thereabouts, such as moveable type printing, New World rediscovery, beginning of large scale colonial adventure, fall of the Byzantine Empire and the first beginning of the Reformation immediately following...the unification of Spain and final ouster of the Arabs...Mexico at its Aztec zenith...

Yep, 1500 is pretty good place to end. I think Kishlansky is a good book to do Part I out of, myself. I used it 3 years in WC 101. Not a lot about China or India, though.
