When the AD calendar was formed, there was no year Zero. 1 AD followed 1 BC. Therefore the first century ended after the year 100. Subsequent centuries would then end after the year with "00". The 20th century would begin at the start of the year 1901 and would end at the end of the year 2000. However, many people claim the 21 st century began with the start of the year 2000. Thus, the 20th Century comprised January 1, 1901 to December 31, 2000 .
There was no "0 AD" so the first century ended after the first 100 years at the end of the year 100 not 99 AD. Subsequent centuries would end in 100 year increments. The 20th century ended at the end of the year 2000, not at the beginning. So the start or turn of the 21st century would be Jan 1, 2001. Many people think it started at the beginning of the year 2000.
Original Answer: 1800's New Answer: The 19th Century was not a year. The 1st Century consisting of the years 1 - 100, ended at the end of the ONE hundredth year; so also, the 19th Century ended at the end of the NINETEEN hundredth year. In other words, the 19th Century consisted of the years 1801 - 1900 (inclusive).
The 18th century AD is defined by the calendar of Earth as occurring from the year 1701 through the year 1800.
