For example, at the turn of the twentieth century.
Does it mean a transition from the nineteenth to the twentieth century or one from the twentieth to twenty-first century?

So which one depends on the context.

Thank you very much.

I apologize, I read your question wrong. It means the transition between the nineteenth and twentieth century.
