The abbreviation BCE, written in full as "Before Common Era" or "Before Christian Era" (both meanings being considered correct), flows more naturally when placed after the date.
BCE is not a date. To turn the term BCE (Before the Common/Christian Era) into a date you need to put a number before it. A date is the numbering of a year. BCE years are years that came before the Christian era; that is, before Christianity emerged .
1939 is during the Common Era, so it has no BCE date.
BC - Before Christ = BCE - Before the Common Era .
2000 BCE is before 200 BCE is the correct answer. A timeline works like so: the "I" represents the birth of Christ, which is the event which separates BCE and CE. From the "I" forward is where we are now. The numbers increase 0 to 2011. From the "I" backwards the number decreases 0 to (whenever the world began). Therefore 2000 BC come before 200BC.

B.C.E. replaces B.C. and means Before The Common Era.
Someone born in 1760 BCE is older than someone born in 1450 BCE. The BCE (Before Common Era) dating system counts backwards from year 1, so the higher the number, the earlier the date. Therefore, 1760 BCE occurred before 1450 BCE.
BCE = Before the Common Era or B.C.I now finally understand BC, BCE AD and CE but where does BP come in to play. Before present. Is that before 2013 or before 01?
