Hate to disappoint y'all, but diplomatic historians name eras after the architects of alliances that keep the peace between major wars. For example, 1792-1812 Age of Napoleon; 1815-1848 Age of Metternich;
1862-1914
Age of Bismarck; 1919-1939 Age of Wilson; 1945-1972 Age of Churchill;
and
since 1972 the US has become at peace and a trading partner with our former enemies, so you guessed it, you are today living in the Age of
Nixon. How
many US Presidents have the honor of an historic Age named after them?
Perhaps the failure of so many to recognize that is the root of so much misunderstanding.
I've never heard of any of these terms, except maybe the Age of Napoleon. Then again, I'm not exactly an expert in the field of diplomatic history - but still, if these are common terms, I'm wondering why pages like [[Age of Wilson]] are redlinks.

Good question, and not without controversy (of course); in German it's refered to as "the Wiemar period", and remember the US never formally joined the alliance system the Wilson created.
I was reading a wik article the other day that made reference to "the Nazi seizure of power"; this article obviously was brought over from the German wiki, cause American sources always make light of the fact Hitler was democratically elected.
