When put into effect in 1582, the Gregorian Calendar was adopted at once by most countries. A major exception to this changing of calendar formats was Great Britain and its vast World Empire, including the American Colonies. The British Empire, including the Americas, would remain under the Julian Calendar until 1752. On September 2nd of that year, it was decreed that 11 days would be immediately dropped, making the next day September 14th. From this point onwards, the Gregorian Calendar would be in effect for Great Britain and all of its possessions, including the American Colonies. Look for the "1752 - 11/14" link on this page.
