2nd millennium
The year 1492 CE falls within the 2nd millennium, which spans from the year 1001 to 2000. Specifically, it is the last decade of the 15th century, the final century of the 2nd millennium. This period is notable for significant events, including the Age of Exploration.
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.
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).
A millennium refers to a period of one thousand years.

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.
