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.
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.
It was the first day of the last year of the 20th century and last year of the 2nd millennium. Some will say it was the first day of the new millennium and 21st century, but that is a common misconception.
There were approximately 1025 wars between 1000 AD and 2000 AD.

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.
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.
The next millennium year will be in the year 3000.
Exactly one century before the last millennium was 900. This millennium started with 2001.
The second millennium of the Christian Era of the (proleptic) Gregorian Calendar is from Thursday 1 January 1001 through Sunday 31 December 2000.
Nope - the calendar went from the year 1 BC - to the year 1 AD. Which is why all the millennium celebrations were a year early ! The end of the last millennium and the start of this one happened on the evening of Dec 31 2000 - not 1999 !
