Brief History

Britain adopted the Gregorian Calendar in 1752 after the British Calendar Act of 1751. The current Julian calendar required dropping eleven days to sync with the Gregorian Calendar. On the evening of 2nd September 1752, the population went to sleep on the 13th and woke up on the 14th. New Year's Day was moved to 1st January from 26th March. Those who felt cheated protested on the streets, demanding the eleven days back.

The changeover was a number of steps. The 31st December 1750 became the 1st January 1750. In the Old Style calendar, the 10th month was December and the 11th month was January. The 24th March 1750 changed to the 25th March 1751. In the Old Style, the year began on March 25. The 31st December 1751 became the 1st January 1752. In the Old Style, the year began on March 25. The 2nd September 1752 became the 14th September 1752, with 11 days dropped.
