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? _________________ Hiromichi |

So which one depends on the context.
Thank you very much. _________________ Hiromichi |

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