18671956

18671956 is a concatenated year range most commonly read as 1867–1956. In biographical writing it typically marks the lifespan of a person born in 1867 and died in 1956. In historical summaries the span can denote an era or the period during which certain events or developments occurred. The lack of separators is common in databases, compact citations, or catalog records, but it can introduce ambiguity without additional context.

Uses of the notation include library metadata, genealogical records, and encyclopedia entries where birth and death years are attached to individuals, organizations, or events. It can also function as a model, version, or product code in manufacturing or design, where the digits identify a series or year associated with the item.

Historically, the span from 1867 to 1956 covers a era of rapid transformation and conflict. The late 19th century featured industrialization and imperial expansion in many regions. The period includes World War I (1914–1918), the interwar years, and World War II (1939–1945), followed by the early Cold War era. The year 1956 alone marks notable events such as the Suez Crisis and the Hungarian Revolution, among others. The exact significance of 1867–1956 depends on context: it may reflect the life of a particular person, the influence of a political or cultural movement over that period, or simply a condensed date shorthand used in a dataset.
