Where do history end and where do "nowadays" begin?
If the sticky is anything to abide to, then it is 25 years.

Personally, I think it becomes "nowadays" at the 1900s. We should be able to talk about stuff past that point of course, but it's a fundamentally different atmosphere. Saying a nation did an atrocity 200 years ago is largely meaningless to the people today. but stuff like the Armenian Genocide is still politicized even now. And if you are willing to venture past some of the few debates left by the world war, you get the ongoing controversies like "Was a state for Jewish people in Arabia a good idea?"

>Where do history end
The present moment. History is as much a treatment of sources and a method or understanding as it is a time period, historical methods can be applied to any event no matter how recent.

The end of the Napoleonic wars.
The 1800s is very modern seeming compared to earlier periods.
