Greatest Generation

Strauss–Howe Generations
These generations are derived from the Strauss–Howe generational theory; Strauss and Howe believed that specific generations caused the births of specific personas and archetypes to rise to the challenges they would face. It is not a generally accepted theory, and their generational cohorts are used here only for the purpose of cataloguing characters.
