1994-2008

From El Salvador I'd say 1960s or 1800s. Or if you ask the natives probably before the 1500s and/or before the 1930s.

1776 to 1789, plus post WWII 1950's USA, but with willful denial over Korea.

Depends on the generation.

I suppose my grandparents like the period between 1930-1960 except for that whole second world war thing going on. My parents were fond of their youth too etc etc.

Mexico

I don't know, since our independence in 1810 general life quality has been absolute shit.

The good days might be when we were a spanish colony but of course we won't admit that.

People who had it well under communism (or only remember the good parts) refer to the '60s-'70s mostly. Mostly everyone else refers to the kingdom period, especially the late '10s-'20s- mid '30s or the end of the 19th century.
