So if it's true that this women was born on 4. Augst 1900 and we're using the Gregorian calendar, she was indeed born in the 19th century.



So by this modern and improoved calendar system, the last day of the 19th century is 31. Dezember 1899 and therefor Nabi Tajima is born in the first year of the 20th century.

This is EXACTLY what I have been trying to explain. The difference between the Gregorian calendar as it was and the decimal system which we use and which makes more sense than how the calendar was used first.

1900 is the 20th century and 2000 is the 21st century which is way more logical than the old ways of the Gregorian calendar.

Thank you for clearing this up. And welcome to VGC.
