18951961

18951961 is a concatenated form of two four-digit years, commonly used as a compact marker in biographical and historical records. In biographical contexts it is typically read as a lifespan, indicating that a person was born in 1895 and died in 1961. The more standard typographic version is 1895–1961, with an en dash; some databases or single-field entries nevertheless store the information as 18951961 when separators are unavailable or discouraged.

In data and cataloging practices, the string may appear as a shorthand for a time span or date range, or as part of a machine-readable identifier. Its exact meaning depends on context: it can denote a person’s life dates, the duration of a project, or a production window. Absent clarifying metadata, 18951961 can be ambiguous and should be interpreted with accompanying information.

Historically, the period spanning 1895 to 1961 encompasses a range of transformative events and developments. The late 19th century mark reflects ongoing industrialization and social change, while the first half of the 20th century includes the two World Wars, rising modern states, and rapid advances in science and technology. The years 1961 in particular sit near the early Cold War era, the space age, and globalization shifts that defined the mid-20th century. This framing makes 18951961 a useful shorthand for discussions linking late 19th-century origins with mid-20th-century developments.
