18981936

18981936 is a compact numeric string commonly interpreted as signifying the period from 1898 to 1936. In archives, libraries, and data records, the form is used to denote a date range or the lifespan of an individual or entity associated with those years.

Historical scope of the interval covers the late 19th century and the interwar years. It encompasses rapid industrialization, imperial and national conflicts at the turn of the century, World War I (1914–1918), and the early developments of modern politics, science, and culture. The 1920s brought social and economic change in many regions, followed by the Great Depression beginning in 1929 and the political realignments of the early 1930s, which shaped the course of the decade and influenced events leading toward the late 1930s.

Usage in biographical and bibliographic contexts: when used as a life span, 18981936 can indicate a person born in 1898 and who died in 1936. In bibliographies and cataloging, the digits may appear without a dash as a shorthand in databases, file names, or metadata fields where space or punctuation is constrained. For formal writing, it is generally clearer to present the range with an en dash (1898–1936).
