What is the meaning of October 17 1945?

Answer 1

That is similar to a Gregorian calendar date from a country that puts the date between the month and the year, like the United States. Proper syntax of the date would be October 17, 1945 (months are always capitalized in the English language, and a comma goes between the date and year). In many countries, the date goes before the month: 17 October 1945.

October is the name of the 31-day "month" that begins about eight days after the northern hemisphere's autumnal equinox/ the Southern Hemisphere's vernal equinox. The word month is in quotes because the twelve "months" of the Gregorian year do not necessarily coincide with the phases of the moon. The number 17 indicates the 17th day of that month. The number 1945 indicates the 1945th year of the system of counting years in which the 1st year was about three or four years before the birth of Jesus of Nazareth (an error that was caught centuries ago but never corrected). In its complete form, a year from that system is preceded by the letters A.D., short for Anno Domini, Latin for "in the Year of our Lord". Those who choose not to refer to Jesus as their Lord use the letters C.E., short for "of the Christian Era". October 17, 1945 was about a half year after the end of World War II.

October 17, 1945 could also be a date of the Julian calendar. However, no country has officially used the Julian calendar as its public calendar since around 1918. If it were a Julian date, it would be equivalent to the Gregorian date October 30, 1945.
