Belle Époque

The Belle Époque or La Belle Époque (French pronunciation: [bɛlepɔk]; French for "Beautiful Era") was a period in
European social history that began during the late 19th century and lasted until World War I. Occurring during the era of the
French Third Republic and the German Empire, it was a period characterised by optimism and new technological and medical
discoveries. The Belle Époque was named in retrospect, when it began to be considered a "golden age" when compared to the horrors
of World War I.

In the newly rich United States, emerging from the Panic of 1873, the comparable epoch was dubbed the Gilded Age.^[1]
In the United Kingdom, the Belle Époque overlapped with the lateVictorian era and the Edwardian era.
