As others have said, the year 1900 was the final year (completion) of the 19th Century.
In fact, that's exactly why it's the 19th Century, because it ended in 1900. 2000 was the final year of the 20th Century, 1800 was the final year of the 18th Century.....
We are currently in the 21st Century, which will be completed in the year 2100.
