Top answer
You are referring to a specific period of time. The period of time starts in 1900 and finishes right at the end of the year 1950. 'Through' is typically only used in this way in AmE.

Thank you.
In India, we follow `British English', So I should write (between 1900 to/and 1950)

Either from 1900 to 1950 or between 1900 and 1950. Don't mix the two.
