The 1890s was a decade of the Gregorian calendar that began on January 1, 1890, and ended on December 31, 1899. In American popular culture, the decade would later be nostalgically referred to as the "gay nineties". The decade took place during what historians call the Victorian Era in the history of the United Kingdom, the Belle Époque in the history of France, and the Gilded Age in the history of the United States.
