How many years is a century?

A century is a hundred years, which usually means a hundred years in a row.

2 1 century is the period from 200 1, 1 to 2 100, 12, 3 1, which is the era we are currently living in. 2 1 century is an era of world economic development and scientific strength enhancement.

When used to calculate the date, the century usually starts from the year divisible by 100 or later, such as 2000 or 200 1.

Extended data

The word century comes from Latin, and this odd chronology comes from after the time of Jesus. Among them, 1 (the first year of AD) usually means "our main year", which does not exist. Therefore, the first century should be from 1 to 100, while the 20th century should be from 190 1 to 2000, so 2000 is not the first year of 2 1, but 200 1.

After the beginning of the 2 1 century in modern history, the United States became the only superpower in the world, while the former Soviet Union disintegrated in the 20th century, and Russia inherited most of the legacy of the former Soviet Union.

Together with other entities including China, India and the European Union, they have become potential superpowers. With the end of the Cold War and the rise and spread of terrorism in the world, the United States and its allies have turned their full attention to the Middle East.
