Technically speaking, the thirteenth century ran from 1201 to 1300 inclusive. (This is because the first century started at 1, not at 0, so the second century started at 101, and so forth.)

Why are you in the twenty first century instead of twentieth century?

Because the 20th Century is over and done with.Think of it this way:Pretend that when they started counting years, they called the first year ' 1 '.And at the same time, they made up the word 'Century' to mean '100 years'.So, ' 1 ' was the first year, ' 2 ' was the second year, ' 3 ' was the third year,' 99 ' was the 99th year, ' 100 ' was the 100th year, and the end of the year 100was the end of the first century.Notice that the year 100 was the last year of Century #1, and the 2nd Centurystarted on January 1, 101 .So the year 200 was the last year of Century #2, and the 3rd Century startedon January 1, 201 .And the year 300 was the last year of Century #3, and the 4th Century startedon January 1, 401 .Jump ahead a few centuries now . . .The year 2000 was the last year of Century #20, and the 21st Century startedon January 1, 2001 .


What was the last year of the 20th century?

There was no year designated as 'year zero'. Since a century is 100 full years, the first century went from the full year 'one' all the way through the full year 'one hundred'. The second century began on Jan 1 of the year 101. The last year of the 20th century was therefore the year 2000. The first year of the 21st century started on Jan 1, 2001. The 21st century will end Dec 31 2100.


Why is it the 21st centry and not the 20th?

The 21st century began on January 1, 2001, and will last until December 31, 2100. Centuries are calculated based on the year numbering system, where the first century included the years 1 to 100, the second century from 101 to 200, and so forth. Thus, the 20th century encompasses the years 1901 to 2000, making the current century the 21st. This distinction is essential for understanding historical timelines and events.

Why do the numbers not match the first numbers in the years?

You are referring to centuries. If you think about it, for any century we are in works from 1 to 100 years, with the last year being the number of that century. So 1 to 100 would have been the first century or first set of 100 years, 101 to 200 would be the second century and so on. We are now in the 21st century, the 21st set of 100 years, which is from 2001 to 2100. In 2100, 21 sets of 100 years will have been completed, so we are now during the 21st century even though all but the last year of it will start with '20'.You are referring to centuries.
