Until the 1790s when the metric system was adopted by many countries, there was no common system of measurements.
The United States signed the international Treaty of the Meter of 1875, which created permanent international committees to continually refine the metric system. The revisions were adopted at a General Conference of Weights and Measures held by countries using the metric system and resulted in the creation of the International System of Units. In 1965 the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa became the first of the English-speaking countries to begin an organized effort to adopt the changeover to metric.
