You mean the "Gregorian" calendar. It was developed to replace the inaccurate Julian calendar by the Roman Catholic Church in 1582. I was quickly adopted by the Catholic Countries of Europe Although the rest of the world resisted at first (it was thought to be a Catholic plot by Protestants) it gradually became accepted as its greater accuracy became evident. For example, Britain, (then including the original 13 colonies of the what is now the United States) adopted it in 1752. Russia didn't adopt it until the year after the Communists came to power in 1917.
