Summertime as in adjusting clock one hour back in the summer was first suggested by Benjamin Franklin in the 17th century.

He proposed this so that we could utilize daylight better.

It was however not made so until 1914 and first world war.

One moved the time one hour back at a specific date in order to save energy.

Not all countries wanted to do this, but nowadays most countries conform to this.
