The international system of measurement, also known as the metric system, was first proposed in the 1790s during the French Revolution. It was based on the decimal system, making conversions between units much simpler. The system was officially adopted by the General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1960, establishing the International System of Units (SI) as the standard for scientific and everyday measurements worldwide. The SI system is now used in almost every country, promoting consistency and accuracy in measurements across various fields.
