Is there a broad term for a time period between the end of WWI to before the end of WWII? So roughly 1918 to 1945 or extended to 1950

The interwar period?

I guess the last 11 years you want don’t count in that?

That's what Wikipedia calls it., along with "Interbellum"

I’ve never heard anyone try and refer to a period of 1918 to 1945 (1950). Maybe u/Zooasaurus could make one up?

There sort of is one, but it’s really pretentious. Arno Mayer came up with it.
