Editing Vriend Era

'''The Vriend Era''' is the current historical period, beginning in 1960 after the [[Middenvader Era]]. It covers the generation associated with [[De Vrienden]] and the period that developed around them. Later generations and events remain part of the Vriend Era unless a new era boundary is established.<ref name="timeline-vriend"/>

De Vrienden formed in 1974 and developed into the five-member group completed in 1976. During the same period, the [[Tanoa Einsatzgruppen]] expanded outside Tanoa and remained a major political and military power until its collapse on 30 November 2024.<ref name="vrienden-formation"/><ref name="tanoa-1970s"/><ref name="fish-collapse"/>

== Background ==
The [[Middenvader Commissie]] met for a second time in 1959 in an attempt to settle the dispute between the two branches of the [[Schroeter family]]. The meeting failed, and [[Ferdinand Schroeter]] was found dead several days later. [[Schroeter Traktoren]] closed its factories and ceased operations in July. The two branches later signed a truce prohibiting the company from being re-established.<ref name="middenvader-end"/>
