In 1582, the Gregorian calendar reform restored January 1 as new years day. Although most Catholic countries adopted the Gregorian calendar almost immediately, it was only gradually adopted among Protestant countries. The British, for example, did not adopt the reformed calendar until 1752. Until then, the British Empire —and their American colonies— still celebrated the new year in March. youtu.be/drL7eZvh01g
