1890s, because it was the most advanced of the bunch.

Also the 90s in general are rad.

Also 90's because of the xmen cartoon.

I pose this problem, was it wrong to put the Boers in the first concentration camp when they later went on to be apartheidests?

I don't know if that's for me or recursive but I get the feeling like it doesn't matter.

Anyway, I picked the 1880's because that's when Dr Pepper was invented. Surely nothing else that happened during that thirty year span can be as important as that.

1860’s because of freedom of slaves, unprecedented amount of black representatives being elected.

1890’s least favorite because white people officially established Jim Crow as law and used their southern power (and by this I mean grandfather laws and organizations like the KKK) to overturn aforementioned unparalleled black representation and there wasn’t a single black representative elected  for literally thirty~ years.

Grover Cleveland, 1880s: 414 vetoes, 1% overturned
Grover Cleveland, 1890s: 170 vetoes, 3% overturned

His Vetoes Over Replacement President must be insane for that first term.

1870's of course.
Humilated the French, annexed Alsace-Lorraine and formed a German nation state in Versailles while telling Austria to go fuck themselves.  :salute

His radical redesign of the French capital was an impressive feat of civil engineering in its time. :trumps

Napoleon deserves credit for getting the French to do something else than go on strike.  :doge

1870s, since it’s the furtherest option away from the forum’s decline that infested the joint with cartoon-loving wad chokers. I hope for terrible things for so many of you.

The 1870s gave us what would later be published as the Critique of the Gotha Program, an L reformists still haven't been able to drop, but it also gave us the premature end of Reconstruction. history may kill a lot of people, but it also helps a lot of people get to work on time, so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or not,

1871 had the Paris Commune, so it wins by default.

I didn't include the 1860s because I think of that as mid-, not late.
