In [[contemporary history]], the '''third millennium''' is the current [[millennium]] in the ''[[Anno Domini]]'' or [[Common Era]], under the [[Gregorian calendar]]. It began on 1 January 2001 ([[Roman numerals|MMI]])<!-- 2001 is correct due to there not being any zeroth year in the AD system (in addition, see MOS:CENTURY) --> and will end on 31 December 3000 ([[Roman numerals|MMM]]), spanning the [[21st century|21st]] to [[30th century|30th]] centuries.
In [[contemporary history]], the '''third millennium''' is a period of time that began on January 1, 2001, and will end on December 31, 3000 of the [[Gregorian calendar]].<ref>[[United States Naval Observatory]], [http://aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/docs/millennium.php "The 21st Century and the 3rd Millennium:When Did They Begin?"] (Washington, DC, June 14, 2011).</ref><ref name=New_millennium>"[http://www.rmg.co.uk/explore/astronomy-and-time/time-facts/faqs/new-millennium-where-when-why When and where did the new Millennium officially start, and why?]".

Ongoing [[futures studies]] seek to understand what will likely continue and what could plausibly change in this period and beyond.

===2000s===
As this millennium is currently in progress, its first two decades of [[21st century]] (the past [[2000s (decade)|2000s]] and the current [[2010s]]), are the subject of the historian's attention. The remaining part of the [[21st century]] ([[2020s]] to [[2090s]]) and longer-term trends ([[22nd century|22nd]] to [[30th century]]) are researched in [[futures studies]]. Here are some possible events that will happen in those particular years:

* [[22nd century]] - In his book ''[[The Next 100 Years]]'', American political scientist [[George Friedman]] predicts that as the century begins, an ongoing confrontation between an increasingly powerful [[Mexico]] and the [[United States]] will be taking place. Mexico will be an economically and militarily powerful country capable of challenging the United States, while a Mexican majority in southern regions of the United States will have made them a ''de facto'' extension of Mexico, with increasing secessionist sentiment. Both countries will be competing for dominance over [[North America]], which will remain the international centre of gravity throughout the next few centuries.<ref>Friedman, George (2009) ''The Next 100 Years: A Forecast for the 21st Century'', Anchor, ISBN 0767923057.</ref>
