19th century
19th Century, from 1846 to 1848.
One hundredth of a century is a year.
The century that ran from 1900 to 1999 is known as the 20th century (on the principle that the first century was the one that ran from the year one to the year 99). The current century, in the year 2009 as I type, is known as the 21st century.
A century is made of 100 years. That is longer than one year, whether it is a normal year or a leap year.
One percent. There are 100 years in a century. So, one year is 1/100 (one one-hundreth) of a century, or 1%.
Right... Year one is exactly what it says on the tin... Yes ? And it is in the first century, was it not ?....... yes it was. So what year was it before year one ? What century was it last year, before the first century ? No ! it was not the year 0 or 0 century was it ! Therefore this is the 21st century: If we had a 0 century then it would be the 20th, but there was no such thing ! huh?! There was no year 0 or 0th century....
1946
Mexican-American War formally ends in 1848.
Yes a century is a one hundred year period. The last year of the 21st century is 2099.
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.
