In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 11 of the best facts about When Was The Gregorian Calendar Adopted In England and Gregorian Calendar Adopted Uk I managed to collect.

what year was the gregorian calendar adopted?

1. In 1582 countries that adopted the Gregorian calendar skipped 10 days (Thursday, October 4 was followed by Friday, October 15)

2. England skipped 11 days in September of 1752 due to the adoption of the Gregorian calandar

3. The dates September 2 through 13, 1752 never happened in the British Empire because it adopted the Gregorian calendar that was 11 days ahead.

4. 11 days were skipped in September, 1752, when Britain and its colonies adopted the Gregorian Calendar to replace the Julian Calendar, which was off by 11 minutes a year.

5. In the UK / North America in 1752, September 3-13 were skipped, due to the adoption of the Gregorian Calendar

6. September 3rd - 13th 1752 does not exist in England. When the British Empire adopted the Gregorian calendar, replacing the Julian calendar, the days were removed to correct the change. The same thing happened in October 4th - 14th 1582.

7. George Washington's birthday changed by a year in 1872 when Britain and the colonies adopted the Gregorian calendar.

8. There are much more logical calendars than the Gregorian we currently use. One of them is the International Fixed Calendar that has 13 months of 28 days each (4 weeks). It has never been adopted for the same reasons the US won't adopt the metric system: transition costs are too high.

9. In certain countries some dates do not exist due to calendar reform. The UK, in particular, lost 3rd - 13th September in 1752 due to the adoption of Europe's Gregorian calendars. This is why UK's tax year starts 6th April - 25th March (Feast of the Annunciation) plus the eleven "lost" days.
