Info on Julian and Gregorian Calendars

What the Transition year buttons do:


Use 1582 as the transition year between Julian and Gregorian Calendar (Catholic Europe)

This will result in a Julian calendar up to 1581, a special transition calendar for 1582 (with 10 days missing in October 1582) and then a Gregorian calendar starting in 1583. Most Catholic-dominated European countries (Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland) converted to the Gregorian calendar in 1582.


Use 1752 as the transition year between Julian and Gregorian Calendar (England, USA)

This will result in a Julian calendar up to 1751, a special transition calendar for 1752 (with 11 days missing in September 1752) and then a Gregorian calendar starting in 1753. Most Protestant-dominated European countries and principalities (parts of Germany, Britain and its colonies, including America) converted to the Gregorian calendar in 1752.


Use 1918 as the transition year between Julian and Gregorian Calendar (Russia)

This will result in a Julian calendar up to 1917, a special transition calendar for 1918 (with 13 days missing in February 1918) and then a Gregorian calendar starting in 1919. The Greek-Orthodix dominated Zsarist Russia insisted on following the Julian calendar until the October Revolution of 1917 finally resulted in the adoption of the Gregorian calendar in 1918.
