"The hostage-taking and murder of the Jewish athletes and coaches in the Olympic Village on September 5, 1972" seems the modern era started earlier. Maybe in the 1800's with the Brits in India and Afghanistan

Or back to when RFK was shot -- or to when the Arab Legion attacked the new state Israel, or to Hebron in 1929. Or back to the "Shores of Tripoli".
Each date is a *possible* start, for at each one -- a signal flare that even when followed up on was not continued to a terminus.
