September 1752

Did you know that nothing happened between 3 and 13 September 1752? In September 1752 the Julian calendar was replaced with the Gregorian calendar in Great Britain and its American colonies. The Julian calendar was 11 days behind the Gregorian calendar, so 14 September got to follow 2 September on the day of the change. The result was that between 3 and 13 September, absolutely nothing happened!

On that month, workers worked for 11 days less but were paid for the full month.
