The last European country to switch from the Julian Calendar to the Gregorian calendar was Greece, in 1923, 341 years after it was introduced by Pope Gregory!
The British Empire (including North America) switched in 1752, which was 170 years after it was introduced.
There is currently a 13 day difference between the calendars, and has been since 1900.
