In Germany the switch to the Gregorian from the Julian calendar was determined by the local politics. Therefore, some parts of Germany switched as early as 1582, other parts of the country waited until 1700, and many places switched somewhere in between. For further details about calendar changes in Germany and how it affects genealogists, see the [[Germany History#Calendar_Changes|Germany History]] Wiki page. The British Empire, including Canada and the United States, switched to the Gregorian calendar in 1752. Russia did not switch to the Gregorian calendar until the Russian Revolution of 1917. The Russian Orthodox Church still uses the old calendar to calculate holidays. | In Germany the switch to the Gregorian from the Julian calendar was determined by the local politics.
