The Prachtvolle Epoche ("Splendid Epoch") was a period in Weranian history lasting from the early 1860s to the Great Collapse in 1913. The period retroactively named following the Great War was famed for its economic prosperity, political liberalism, social stability, imperial expansionism and scientific and cultural innovations. Compared to both the revolutionary violence and regional wars that marked the unification period and the political and social polarisation that dominated Werania from the Great Collapse through to the Kirenian-Weranian War the Prachtvolle Epoche is regarded as a period of optimism and peace both at home and abroad.
