This article is about the year 2000. For the number, see 2000 (number). For other uses, see 2000 (disambiguation). 2000 (MM) was a century leap year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2000th year of theCommon Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 1000th and last year of the 2nd millennium, the 100th and last year of the 20th century, and the 1st year of the 2000s decade.

2000 was designated as:
 * International Year for the Culture of Peace<sup id="cite_ref-1">[1]
 * World Mathematical Year<sup id="cite_ref-2">[2]
 * Popular culture holds the year 2000 as the first year of the 21st century and the 3rd millennium due to a tendency of grouping the years according to decimal values, as if year zero were counted. According to the Gregorian Calendar, these distinctions fall to the year 2001, because the 1st century was retroactively said to start with year AD 1. Since the calendar does not have year zero, its first millennium spanned from years 1 to 1000 inclusively and its second millennium from years 1001 to 2000. (See more at Century and Millennium.)

The year 2000 is sometimes abbreviated as "Y2K" (the "Y" stands for "year", and the "K" stands for "kilo" which means "thousand").<sup id="cite_ref-3">[3] <sup id="cite_ref-4">[4]  The year 2000 was the subject of Y2K concerns, which are fears that computers would not shift from 1999 to 2000 correctly. However, by the end of 1999, many companies had already converted to new, or upgraded, existing software. Some even obtained Y2K certification. As a result of massive effort, relatively few problems occurred.

This article is about the year 1990. For other uses, see 1990 (disambiguation).

For the album by Enigma, see MCMXC a.D.

1990 (MCMXC) was a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar, the 1990th year of theCommon Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 990th year of the 2nd millennium, the 90th year of the 20th century, and the 1st year of the 1990s decade.

Important events of 1990 include the Reunification of Germany and the unification of Yemen,<sup id="cite_ref-1">[1]  the formal beginning of the Human Genome Project (finished in 2003), the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope, the separation ofNamibia from South Africa, and the Baltic states declaring independence from the Soviet Union amidst Perestroika.Yugoslavia's communist regime collapses amidst increasing internal tensions and multiparty elections held within itsconstituent republics result in separatist governments being elected in most of the republics marking the beginning of thebreakup of Yugoslavia. Also in this year began the crisis that would lead to the Gulf War in 1991 following the Iraq invasion and the largely internationally unrecognized annexation of Kuwait resulting in a crisis in the Persian Gulf involving the issue of the sovereignty of Kuwait and fears by Saudi Arabia over Iraqi aggression against their oil fields near Kuwait, this resulted in Operation Desert Shield being enacted with an international coalition of military forces being built up on the Kuwaiti-Saudi border with demands for Iraq to peacefully withdraw from Kuwait. Also in this year, Nelson Mandela was released from prison, and Margaret Thatcher resigned as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom after over 11 years.

1990 was an important year in the Internet's early history. In the fall of 1990, Tim Berners-Lee created the first web serverand the foundation for the World Wide Web. Test operations began around December 20 and it was released outsideCERN the following year.<sup id="cite_ref-2">[2]  1990 also saw the official decommissioning of the ARPANET, a forerunner of the Internet system and the introduction of the first content search engine, Archie on September 10.<sup id="cite_ref-3">[3]

September 14, 1990 saw the first case of successful somatic gene therapy on a patient.<sup id="cite_ref-4">[4]

Due to the early 1990s recession that began that year and uncertainty due to the collapse of the socialist governments inEastern Europe, birth rates in many countries stopped rising or fell steeply in 1990. In most western countries the Echo Boom peaked in 1990; fertility rates declined thereafter.<sup id="cite_ref-5">[5]

Encyclopædia Britannica, which ceased printing in 2012, saw its highest all time sales in 1990; 120,000 volumes were sold that year.<sup id="cite_ref-6">[6]  The number of librarians in the United States also peaked around 1990.<sup id="cite_ref-7">[7]
