Given that there was no year 0, the first decade would have been from year 1 to year 10 (inclusive). Adding ten-year intervals would lead to the result that the last year of the decade was 2000 and not 1999. However, that is the view of a purist mathematician - something of a minority view.

Was the year 2000 really a part of the 1990s decade seeing as there was no year zero?

No, 2000 was not part of the 1990s. The 90s were all the years from 1990 to 1999. The fact that the decade finished in 1999, is one of the reasons people thought it was the end of the 20th century. A decade is a period of 10 years. We often think of them in terms of a second last digit the years start with, like the 80s, 90s etc. This means the decades as we think of them are 1 year out of synch with a standard 1 to 10 type of decade. In truth a decade can be any period of 10 years, so 1994 to 2003 was just as much a decade as 1990 to 1999 or 1991 to 2000.

What year begins the second decade of the 21st century?

2011Because the common calendar starts with year 1, its firstfull decade is the years 1 to 10, the second decade from 11 to 20, and so on. So while the "2000s" comprises the years 2000 to 2009, the "201st decade" spans 2001 to 2010.


What is the name of the year 1999?

The year 1999 is often referred to as "the turn of the millennium" since it was the last year of the 20th century. It is also sometimes called "Y2K" due to concerns about the potential computer glitches associated with the transition to the year 2000. Additionally, 1999 is known for significant cultural moments, including the popularity of the film "The Matrix" and the widespread anticipation of the new millennium.

Which is the last year of the decade 2009 or 2010?

The "decade" of the 2000's includes the period from January 1, 2000 until December 31, 2009. If referring to the "first decade of the new Millennium", you could refer to the years 2001-2010. Because there was no "year zero" on the Gregorian calendar, each new millennium of 1000 years includes the final 1000th year (1000, 2000, etc.). However, a decade is not restricted by this convention.


Is 2009 the last year in the decade?

no. The last year of a decade always ends in zero. The first decade started at year 1 and was 10 years long (year 1-10). Every decade to follow starts with a year ending with 1 and ends with a year ending in 0. The first day of this decade was January 1, 2001 and the last day will be December 31, 2010.
