Main event
The USA accepted the Standard Time Act and approved the division into time zones
March 19, 1918
March 19, 1918
This became especially important with the development of the railway, when the train schedules were compiled according to the local time of each city. This caused not only inconvenience and confusion, but also frequent accidents.
Britain was the first country to decide to establish the same standard time throughout the country.
For the first time the idea of the need to introduce time zones for ordering time was proposed by the Canadian engineer Sandford Fleming in the early 1880s.
Finally, 24 time zones were proposed, each of them had to cover a territory of approximately 15 °. The reference point was taken by the Greenwich (zero) meridian.
The large railroads in the US and Canada quickly moved to convenient standard time, but many years passed before it became the norm in everyday life. The use of standard time was extended through practical benefits for communication and travel.
In all of the United States, normal time and time zones were introduced with the approval on March 19, 1918, of the Standard Time Act. The US Congress approved the standard time zones established earlier by the railways.
And then the term "daylight saving time" appeared. A certain prototype of the introduction of summer time was the idea of Benjamin Franklin about saving energy resources.
In recent years, the transition to summer time was carried out every first Sunday in April, the reverse transfer of arrows was made on the last Sunday in October.
Since 2007, the dates have changed - this was the second Sunday in March and the first Sunday in November.
But the debate about the effectiveness of this approach does not abate, and a number of countries do not convert hours to "summer" time. For example, Japan refused to switch to "summer" time in 1952. The regime of "summer" time in Japan was forcedly imposed by the occupation authorities from May 1, 1948, that people who were exhausted by the war, hunger and devastation caused disapproval.
Summer, China, India, Singapore, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan refused to introduce summer time. Russia, also refused to practice the transition to "winter" and "summer" time.
But disputes about the correctness of this decision do not cease today.
