The original change to the Gregorian calendar was set at the 15th of October 1582, which would have been the 5th of October by the old calendar. However, because the calendar reform was being done by the Roman Catholic Church (the Gregorian calendar is named after Pope Gregory XIII), non-Catholic countries resisted the change. Even some Catholic countries did not make the switch in October 1582 because they did not get the message in time. Gradually each country went along with the change one at a time, but it took about 350 years!
Here are the dates on which many of the transitions took place:
- 15 Oct 1582 in Italy, Poland, Portugal and Spain
- 20 Dec 1582 in France
- 25 Dec 1582 in Luxembourg and parts of the Netherlands
- 1 Jan 1583 in parts of the Netherlands, including what is now Belgium
- 11 Jan 1583 in Catholic Germany
- 12 Jan 1583 in Holland, the Netherlands
- 16 Oct 1583 in the Brixen, Salzburg & Tyrol regions of Austria
- 25 Dec 1583 in the Carinthia & Styria regions of Austria
- 17 Jan 1584 in Czechoslovakia
- 22 Jan 1584 in parts of Switzerland
- 1 Nov 1587 in Hungary
- 2 Sep 1610 in Prussian Germany
- 11 Mar 1655 in Wallis, Switzerland
- 1 Mar 1700 in Denmark (incl. Norway) & Protestant Germany
- 12 Jul 1700 in Gelderland, the Netherlands
- 28 Nov 1700 in Iceland
- 12 Dec 1700 in parts of the Netherlands
- 12 Jan 1701 in parts of the Netherlands & in the Protestant cantons of Switzerland
- 12 May 1701 in Drenthe, the Netherlands
- 1724 in parts of Switzerland
- 14 Sep 1752 in Ireland & the United Kingdom & its colonies (including what became the United States 24 years later)
- 1 Mar 1753 in Sweden (incl. Finland)
- 18 Oct 1867 in Alaska (Right after the US bought it from Russia, its change to the Gregorian calendar happened at the same time as its switch from the Russian side to the US side of the International Date Line.)
- 1 Jan 1873 in Japan
- 1875 in Egypt
- 1 Jan 1912 in the Republic of China
