18491924

18491924 is a numeric designation commonly used to denote a person’s lifespan, indicating birth in 1849 and death in 1924. When shown with a dash (1849–1924), it appears in biographical entries to summarize a figure’s life span.

The years cover the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a period marked by rapid industrialization, urban growth, and scientific advances, as well as shifting political ideologies and colonial dynamics. It was a time of significant social change, including the expansion of global trade networks, shifts in art and culture, and the emergence of modern mass politics.

Major historical developments during this interval include the latter phase of the Industrial Revolution, the unification of Germany in 1871, and the broader expansion of European imperialism. The early 20th century saw transformative scientific contributions in physics and other fields, and the period culminated in World War I (1914–1918), the Russian Revolution in 1917, the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, and the creation of new states such as the Weimar Republic in Germany and the Soviet Union in 1922.

In encyclopedic usage, the 1849–1924 format serves as a concise summary of a subject’s life span and helps situate individuals within a historical timeline. The exact identity of a person with those dates depends on context, and many unrelated figures may share the same birth and death years. More broadly, the string marks a historical era bridging the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
