Year One
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
The term "Year One" can just mean the beginning of something, but in political history it usually refers to the institution of radical, revolutionary change. This usage dates from the time of the French Revolution: after the abolition of the French monarchy (September 20, 1792), the National Convention instituted the new French Revolutionary Calendar, declaring that date as the beginning of the Year I of the French Republic.
