The 21st century began in 2001 because the Gregorian calendar, which is the most widely used calendar system today, counts years from the year 1 AD. Since there is no year "0," the first century spanned from 1 AD to 100 AD, the second from 101 AD to 200 AD, and so forth. Consequently, the 20th century ended on December 31, 2000, and the 21st century began on January 1, 2001.
The first year of the 21st century was 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.

The 21st century began on January 1, 2001
the 21st century is from the year 2001 until the year 2100. When it is 2101 it will be the 22nd century.

The 13th century spans from the year 1201 to 1300, while the 21st century covers from 2001 to 2100. To calculate the years between the end of the 13th century and the start of the 21st century, subtract 1300 from 2001, which gives 701 years. Therefore, there are 701 years between the 13th century and the 21st century.
The 21st century is referred to as such because it started in the year 2000, which is the beginning of the 21st century according to the Gregorian calendar. The numbering of centuries is based on the year in which they begin, not the ending year.
