I want to understand the last two centuries of human history up to 1990, what bibliography/sources would be adequate for such a task?

I realize about the colossal task this is for you (an nevermind me once I get to actually reading them) but I need to know.

EDIT: In fact, let's put the date to 1993, my year of birth (and I was born at the very end so yeah what bibliography is good up to my birthday xD)

Can't really help you personally (Are years after 1500 even real?) but you could do worse than the AskHistorians Booklist
