18751955

18751955 is a compact notation commonly used in archival, biographical, and historical contexts to indicate a time span or lifespan from 1875 to 1955. In catalogs and databases, the form 1875–1955 can denote either the birth and death years of an individual or a historical interval relevant to a subject’s lifetime. Without additional context, 18751955 is not a specific event or entity.

Historically, the interval covers a period of rapid transformation. The late 19th century saw vast industrialization, urbanization, and advances in technology and communications. The 20th century brought global upheavals, including the First World War, the interwar years, and the Great Depression. The late 1930s through the mid-1940s encompassed the Second World War, followed by reconstruction and the early stages of the Cold War. Across these decades, political systems, economies, and cultures underwent profound change, and colonial empires transformed or dissolved in the postwar era.

Culturally and scientifically, the era witnessed significant shifts: modernist currents in art and literature, foundational advances in physics and chemistry, and evolving social and political ideologies. In biography and generation studies, the notation often marks individuals whose lives spanned the transition from the late 19th century into the mid-20th century, a period characterized by both continuity and rupture.

In data and indexing practices, 18751955 serves as a convenient label for grouping materials by era or for representing the lifespan of figures associated with these years.
