When did the calendar as the West knows it become practice? At what point did people start using the same years as we do now?

I should know this, but I don't. Very confusing topic for me.

hi! the calendar you're referring to is called the Gregorian Calendar. There's lots of room for more information here regarding its adoption of this to various cultures, but you can get a good start on this topic in the FAQ
