Why does history use (for example) "the 18th century" instead of "the 1700s"?

Why do people (especially historians) say the 15th century instead of the 1400s? Is it somehow easier for them, with that extra mathematical conversion of subtracting? Does “century” imply something that “hundreds” does not? What is up with this?
