Maximilien Robespierre and the French revolutionary government adopted the new French Republican Calendar on October 24, 1793. This calendar was part of a broader effort to de-Christianize France and reflect revolutionary principles, replacing the Gregorian calendar. The new system divided the year into 12 months of 30 days, with each month further divided into three ten-day weeks. The calendar was officially used until 1806, when it was abolished by Napoleon Bonaparte.
