The 20. century is the 10. century of the 2. millenium.

Last I heard, 1970 was part of the twentieth century - I have never
heard it referred to as the tenths century?
Perhaps also worth reviewing the definitions here:
Century:
1. a period of one hundred years.
"a century ago most people walked to work"
2. a company in the ancient Roman army, originally of one hundred men.
Month:
1. each of the twelve named periods into which a year is divided.
"the first six months of 1992"
2. a period of time between the same dates in successive calendar months.
"the president's rule was extended for six more months from March 3"
3. a period of 28 days or four weeks.
"the fourth month of pregnancy"
I think it's important, when dealing with people to realize that human
languages associate many concrete concepts with individual words.
Thanks,
