 Thirty days in February 1712. In November 1699 it was decided that Sweden would begin to adopt the New Style, or Gregorian calendar, starting in 1700. The plan was to skip all leap days in the period 1700 to 1740, thus gradually approaching the Gregorian Calendar over 40 years. According to plan February 29 was omitted in 1700, but no further reductions were made in the following years. In January 1711, King Charles XII declared that Sweden would abandon the calendar, which wasn't in use by any other nation nor had achieved its objective, in favour of a return to the Old Style.
