The dates in which the events of the 100 takes place should be taken into consideration. We were all certain the events of the 100 take place sometime the mid 22nd century. (Spoiler warning if you’ve not yet watched or haven’t yet finished season 5.) This isn't confirmed until episode 13 of season five, when Monty and Harper leave behind logs to monitor the conditions on Shallow Valley. In the bottom right of the first log in numbers it read 04.26.2157 meaning it was April 26th 2157 when Monty recorded his log, and it had been a year since everyone else was put into cryo-sleep, so it had been 2156 when Bellamy, Clarke and the others had been put to sleep.

But the bigger question is to when the nuclear war first occurred. Based on the six years the planet had recovered from the second nuclear apocalypse, plus the four years following the 100’s arrival to Earth, and the 97 years the people on the Ark had spent in orbit, the total number of years equals 101 years. That minus the year 2156 the war would’ve occurred in 2055. I just thought I would bring this up, because this had bothered me for so long.
