The 18th century represents most of the 1700s, starting in 1701 and running to 1800. An easy way to remember centuries is to think of the current year and add 100. For example: 2009 + 100 = 2109 or 21st Century. Another way of looking at it is tot think that it was the 18th group of 100 years, so up to 1700 was the 17th century. There is often confusion as to when a century begins, with most people starting in a zero year, so thinking 1700 to 1799 was the 18th century. The reason behind this is to do with year zero. There was no year zero, but some people think of 0 to 99 as the first 100 years of AD or CE begin with the year 1 and not the year 0, because it doesn't exist. Years 1 through 100 are considered century number 1. Years 101 through 200 are second, so 1701 to 1800 was the 18th century.
