The Gay Nineties is an American nostalgic term and a periodization of the history of the United States, referring to the decade of the 1890s. Despite the term, part of the decade was marked by a financial crisis, which worsened greatly when the Panic of 1893 set off a widespread economic depression in the United States that lasted until 1897.
