I don’t know. I live in Slovakia, so it doesn’t seem like there’s much to choose from (but then again, I don’t know much about history). Perhaps either 1930s or 2010s.
Let’s take it apart.
1870s - 1900s - Oppression by Hungarians
1910s - WW1
1920s - Strongly affected by WW1
1930s - Mostly recovered from WW1. Searching online, it seems 1930s could have been pretty good here. At least in cities. Though we do have the end of 1939, but for the most part, it seems fine.
1940s - WW2, start of Soviet era
1950s - 1980s - Soviet era
1990s - Huge increase in criminality after Czechoslovakian president Vaclav Havel gave amnesty to most prisoners. Thankfully I didn’t have to be alive during those times, I’ve heard well enough about 90s.
2000s - Things start to calm down here. Also things like internet were getting quite popular, and haven’t yet enshittified.
2010s - Not that bad, which is better than negative.
2020s - COVID-19, war between Ukraine and Russia splitting people and adding a ton of hate (usually towards Ukraine for some reason). But it’s still just 2024, maybe something improves, though I don’t feel like it.
