18831938

18831938 is a numeric string that denotes the years from 1883 to 1938. In written form, it is typically presented with a dash as 1883–1938 to indicate a lifespan or a defined period spanning those years. When used after a person’s name, e.g., Jane Doe (1883–1938), it signals birth and death years. The same range can also designate a historical or cultural period occurring between 1883 and 1938, capturing late 19th‑century modernization and the early decades of the 20th century.

Events and developments within this span include continued industrialization and urbanization, the expansion of railways and electricity, World War I (1914–1918), the 1918 influenza pandemic, the Russian Revolution and subsequent interwar politics, the spread of modernist art and literature, and the onset of the Great Depression starting in 1929. The end date of 1938 places the period just before World War II and the major realignments of the late 1930s. The expression is not a formal term for a cohesive movement in all disciplines; its significance varies by context and field.
