1934
Mid-thirties date
1934 is the year following 1933 and preceding 1935.
Like other four-digit years, it functions as a noun (born in 1934), an adjective (the 1934 election), or part of a date (July 4, 1934).
Historical references often invoke the year metonymically for its events: the 1934 World Cup, the 1934 drought.
