It's a matter of definition. You could argue it started in 2000 because, well, it's the first year with a '2' in front. But people say it started in 2001 because January 1st 2001 marked 2000 years since the start of the calendar. This is because the first year after Jesus was supposedly born was 1AD rather than 0: there was no year 0, it went straight from 1BC to 1AD. It's worth mentioning though that the whole thing is a bit silly considering how many times the calendar has been tweaked in the past two millenia and the fact that most historians who think Jesus was born at all say it happened around 4BC.
No. A millennium is 1000 years, so two millennia can not have ended after just 1999 years. So 2000 was the last year of the 2nd millennium and the new one started on the 1st of January 2001.

The official start to the 21st century was on January 1st, 2001. This brought an end to the 20th century, which ended December 31st, 2000, and the beginning of the New Millennium.
False. A new decade, century, or millennium, etc. begins on a year that ends in 1, not 0 (unless you follow a Common Era timeline).
The "decade" of the 2000's includes the period from January 1, 2000 until December 31, 2009. If referring to the "first decade of the new Millennium", you could refer to the years 2001-2010. Because there was no "year zero" on the Gregorian calendar, each new millennium of 1000 years includes the final 1000th year (1000, 2000, etc.). However, a decade is not restricted by this convention.
No. A millennium is 1000 years, so two millennia can not have ended after just 1999 years. So 2000 was the last year of the 2nd millennium and the new one started on the 1st of January 2001.
january 01, 2001
It was the last year of the 20th century and last year of the 2nd millennium. Some will say it was the first year of the new millennium and 21st century, but that is a common misconception, even though there were celebrations for it. The year 2001 was the start of the new millennium.
The new millennium began on January 1, 2001, not in 2000 as many believed. This is because there was no year 0 in the Gregorian calendar, so the year 2000 was the last year of the 20th century, not the first year of the 21st century.
