18621917

18621917 is a compact numeric string that can denote the year range 1862 to 1917. In historical writing or biographical references, a person’s life span is sometimes written as 1862–1917, and the same convention can appear in cataloging or data formats as a single token without spaces or punctuation. The form is commonly encountered in metadata, archival inventories, or reference lists where concise dating is needed.

Historically, the interval covers the late 19th century and the early 20th century, a period characterized by rapid industrialization, urbanization, and the intensification of global trade and imperial activity. The era saw advances in science, technology, and medicine, alongside evolving political systems, social reforms, and new forms of mass culture. It includes the latter decades of the long 19th century and the early years of modern international conflict.

Key historical events within or approaching this span include the later phases of the industrial age in Europe and North America, the growth of nation-states and imperial competition, and significant social and political movements such as labor organizing and suffrage activism. The period culminates in World War I, which began in 1914 and reshaped global politics and societies; the year 1917 was particularly notable for events such as political upheavals and revolutionary movements in several countries.

Usage notes: 18621917 may refer to a lifespan, a historical window, or serve as a data identifier in catalogs and databases. The precise meaning depends on context, and standard prose typically presents it with punctuation as 1862–1917 rather than as a continuous string.
