kawaiiyuris said: The golden age is I guess: 1346 - 1371 The greatest leader is emperor Stefan Dušan (Dušan the Mighty) Aye, in that time our country was in it's peak. Also after WW1 there was Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes which was also quite powerful and afterwards Yugoslavia, but I don't think that those are valid because our country was in an union. |

| 1578-1603 or 1609-1672, depends on country |
| It''s never had one But the Aztec empire was Rad also New Spain |
 |
| The Golden age for Ol' Austraya was the grand emu war. Of which we lost.. |
 |
| Depends of 'Golden Age' of what, I guess. The first thing that came to my mind was the XVIIth - XVIIIth century, during Louis XIV's reign because of his prestige and what remains of that time, artistically and achitecturally speaking. XVIIIth century was pretty important for our country with the Enlightenment, as it leads to the Revolution, so I'm not sure. The Belle Epoque was at the end of the XIXth century till First World War, a time were people were very happy and optimist. I really can't decide which could be the 'Golden Age'. As for greatest leader, I want to say it was Napoléon Bonaparte. Or maybe Charles de Gaulle. |

| Golden Age for the U.S.? In terms of overall, I'd say the '70s. Jobs were everywhere and college was cheap, despite our still-emerging race and female rights. Today, it's the opposite: no jobs and expensive college but things are much more equal, however I think people tend to push the rights thing too far so I could never tell. Bonus question: George Washington, because I can't say any of our most recent leaders were "great." Veneficia said: 1776 -???? that is the golden age of my country. still keeps going Would've answered this way, but I'd guess you're asking for a very specific era. |

Nuvviveji said: i wouldn't count the post ww1 kingdom b/c king alexander's politics wasn't that great + things were shaky after his assasination. i actually think the time of king peter I (before ww1) was better. as for sfr yugoslavia... yeahhh things were going pretty well for the most part when it came to quality of life, self-sufficiency of the country, and stability, but we can't really ignore the darker side of the socialist regime where people were getting arrested for all kinds of political reasons. also can't really call it the golden age when it ended in a terrible war. but i guess a lot of older/middle aged people would agree with you on that one..kawaiiyuris said: The golden age is I guess: 1346 - 1371 The greatest leader is emperor Stefan Dušan (Dušan the Mighty) Aye, in that time our country was in it's peak.

| During the 70's probably because that's when it became a republic, won it's first Olympic gold medal and there was an oil boom which was caused by America having to seek out alternative sources of oil because the Arabs refused to sell it oil as punishment for supporting Israel during the Yom Kippur war (1973). The first prime minister of my country is considered the greatest leader in my country by most people. |

kawaiiyuris said: The 50's is supposed to be America's golden age because it became one of the top super powers along with the Soviet Union after World War 2 while like most of Europe was devastated from World War 2. It also experienced an economic boom and baby boom in the 50's.Jerkhov said: :))))))))) bingo my friend :))))))))))We've had racism for all our history even in modern times, shouldn't that imply that we have no golden age? http://www.history.com/topics/1950s Between 1945 and 1960, the gross national product more than doubled, growing from $200 billion to more than $500 billion. Much of this increase came from government spending: The construction of interstate highways and schools, the distribution of veterans’ benefits and most of all the increase in military spending–on goods like airplanes and new technologies like computers–all contributed to the decade’s economic growth. Rates of unemployment and inflation were low, and wages were high. Middle-class people had more money to spend than ever–and, because the variety and availability of consumer goods expanded along with the economy, they also had more things to buy. The baby boom and the suburban boom went hand in hand. Almost as soon as World War II ended, developers such as William Levitt (whose “Levittowns” in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania would become the most famous symbols of suburban life in the 1950s) began to buy land on the outskirts of cities and use mass production techniques to build modest, inexpensive tract houses there. The G.I. Bill subsidized low-cost mortgages for returning soldiers, which meant that it was often cheaper to buy one of these suburban houses than it was to rent an apartment in the city. |

| american, so probably post ww2 till the early 60's. lot of problems at home during that time but on the whole it was economically the best time for the U.S. |

| I really don't think Canada has had one. Not a very old country, nor does anything really stand out. |
| Brace yourself. Soon as LotGH 2017 comes out. The anime community is going to become so cancerous you will need to take cover and hide. |

Daconator said: What's he called in Portuguese? DrGeroCreation said: I was like "Prince Henry, what", and then I googled and found out that's how people call him in English. Ahaha, I found that hilarious.Yeah when it was ruled by Prince Henry the navigator I believe. ... |

Daconator said: Oh I see. For me the Infante in the Portuguese title made me chuckle a bit because of how close it is to infant.DrGeroCreation said: Infante D. Henrique.What's he called in Portuguese? ... D. is a title, stands for "Dom". I guess the translation from Henrique to Henry caught me off guard. |

| Historically speaking it would be the end of the XIXth century under king Leopold II, because we could use the income from Congo for a lot of stuff like renovating Brussels etc. But it was also a time of great inequality where the poor couldn't even sigh without getting fired, and believe me if I say that was the majority of the population. Personally I'd say the 1960's. The economy was booming, there was so much work we even had to import foreigners to get everything done and everyone was equal. Since then everything went to hell with the 1980's as our lowest point since the Great Depression and the recent economical crisis as the worst since the 1980's. Our greatest leader is probably Albert I, or that's what everyone thinks he is because of what he did in WWI, but I don't really know. |

| If we're talking about art, culture, and prosperity of the populace, the golden age of China was the Tang dynasty, between 618-907 AD. Lots of technological development happened during this time period as well. |
| Since it's Hungary I'm talking about, it's really hard to define. For instance, Hungary remained as a regional great power (title sometimes shared with other really big regional powers such as Poland) for most of it's time (895-1490). After that we had the obviously extremely fun and in no way disastrous Ottoman period (1520-1718). After dealing with the Turks our country remained as the underdeveloped part of one of the greatest European empires, but we were the "vassals" of the Habsburgs so I wouldn't consider the era of any Habsburg ruler a golden age. There are 2 kings in particular who shine more brightly than the rest. One of them, Matthias I was no doubt the biggest, richest and most successful Hungarian king, however, after he died the next king (who was a foreigner, foreigner trash never good for Hungary!!!) was way too weak and some of Matthias I's laws backfired after he died. Remember how the Ottomans, the richest, biggest empire with the biggest army, failed to capture Vienna twice? Well, this Hungarian king actually managed to capture Vienna and if he hadn't died, he might've became the Holy Roman Emperor. This is how his empire looked like before his death: His wife, Beatrice introduced the renaissance to Hungary and Matthias I had the second biggest library in the world (only beaten by the library of the Vatican). Did I mention that he spent tons of gold on improving the defenses on the southern border of Hungary (to defend against the Ottomans), and that the center of this defense line was a city/castle that is now known as Belgrade, the capital of Serbia? Because of the horrible situation Hungary fell in after his death, which was also thanks to some of his policies (such as overtaxing the peasants and ruling without the nobility), I have to say that even though his power was bigger, I still consider the reign of the other king to be our true "Golden Age". Louis I of Hungary (from the house of Anjou, which is one of the branches of the Capet-dynasty, the rulers of France) ruled with the nobility in unity, fought many wars and inherited the second biggest Eastern European kingdom's throne, Poland, which made him the supreme ruler of Eastern Europe. It's speculated that only the Holy Roman Empire and England were more powerful than him. This is how his empire looked like: Those who doesn't understand medieval maps can look at my beautiful (and a bit inaccurate, sorry) hand-drawn version of how big his empire was if you inserted it to a present day European map: If I had to mention another prosperous era, it would be the era between 1867-1914, under the rule of Franz Joseph. While the political situation inside Hungary was quite unsteady (not like it could've been changed, there was too much of nationalistic minorities and our nobility didn't realize how big this problem was), the culture was at it's peak. Also it was Franz Joseph who began collecting money to rebuild my city which was swept away by a flood. |
| 1933-1943 afterwards everything went down the drain |

| Days of the British empire obviously. |

When we had a queen that didn't look like a half inflated balloon :( |
