The '''2nd millennium''' was the thousand-year period that commenced on January 1, 1001 and ended on December 31, 2000, encompasses the [[High Middle Ages]], the [[Renaissance]], the [[Early Modern Age]], the age of [[Colonialism]], [[industrialization]], the rise of [[nation states]], and culminates in the 20th century with the impact of [[science]], widespread [[education]], and universal [[medical|health care]] and [[vaccination]]s in many nations. The centuries of expanding large-scale warfare with [[high-tech]] [[weapon]]ry (of the [[World Wars]] and [[nuclear bomb]]s) are offset by growing [[peace movement]]s from the [[United Nations]], the [[Peace Corps]], religious campaigns warning against violence, plus [[physician|doctors]] and [[nurse|health workers]] crossing borders to treat injuries and [[disease]] and the return of the [[Olympics]] as contest without combat.

Scientists prevail in explaining [[intellectual freedom]]; humans take their first steps on the [[Moon]] during the 20th century; and new technology is developed by governments, industry, and [[academia]] across the world, with education shared by many international [[Academic conference|conference]]s and [[academic journal|journal]]s. The development of [[movable type]], [[radio]], [[television]], and the [[internet]] spread information worldwide, within minutes, in [[Sound recording and reproduction|audio]], [[video]], and [[printing|print-image]] format to educate, entertain, and alert billions of people by the end of the 20th century.

From the 16th century, humans migrated from [[Europe]], [[Africa]] and [[Asia]] to, what was to them, the [[New World]], beginning the ever-accelerating process of [[globalization]]. The interwoven international [[commerce|trade]] led to the formation of [[multi-national corporation]]s, with home offices in multiple countries. International business ventures reduced the impact of [[nationalism]] in popular thought.

The [[world population]] doubled over the first seven centuries of the millennium, (from 310 million in AD 1000 to 600 million in AD 1700), and later increased tenfold over its last three centuries, exceeding to 6 billion in AD 2000.

==Calendar==
The 2nd millennium was a period of time that commenced on January 1, 1001, and ended on December 31, 2000. This is the second period of one thousand years [[Anno Domini]].

The [[Julian calendar]] was used in [[Europe]] at the beginning of the millennium, and all countries that once used the Julian calendar had adopted the [[Gregorian calendar]] by the end of it. So the end date is always calculated according to the Gregorian calendar, but the beginning date is usually according to the Julian calendar (or occasionally the [[Proleptic Gregorian calendar]]).

The current millennium is perhaps more popularly (albeit inaccurately) thought of as beginning and ending a year earlier, thus starting at the beginning of 1000 and finishing at the end of 1999. Many public celebrations for the end of the millennium were held on December 31, 1999–January 1, 2000<ref>{{cite web | title = Millennium FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions | work = When does the Millennium start? | publisher = Greenwich2000.ltd.uk | date = 2008-08-12 | url = http://wwp.millennium-dome.com/info/millennium-faq.htm | accessdate = 2009-01-29}}</ref>—with few on the actual date a year later. The inaccuracy stems from the assumption that there is a [[year zero]], however this is not the case for this [[calendar]].
