Editing Vader Era (section)

== Characteristics ==

The Vader Era was characterized by military service, wartime logistics, industrial production, family authority, and early territorial organization. It was more externally oriented than the Middenvader Era because its main events occurred through wartime service, occupation, settlement, and flight from Europe.

The era did not have a central social group equivalent to De Vrienden. Its defining figures were the older family members whose actions created the conditions for later periods. For this reason, the era functions as the foundation of the Middenvader and Vriend periods.

The era ended in 1945. The Middenvader Era began in 1946.
