In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII made minor changes to the solar Julian or "Old Style" calendar to make it more accurate. Thus the calendar became known as the Gregorian or "New Style" calendar, and adopted in Catholic countries such as Spain and France. Later the Gregorian calendar became popular throughout Western Europe because it was accurate and convenient for international trade. Scandinavian countries adopted it in 1700, Great Britain in 1752, the American colonies in 1752 and India in 1757. China adopted the same calendar in 1911, Russia in 1918, and some Eastern European countries as late as 1940. This calendar recognizes two era values: 0 CurrentEra (AD) 1 BeforeCurrentEra (BC)
