Jesus Christ, and Christianity impacted the whole world.
Our current Gregorian calender was established by Pope Gregory 13th in 1582(?) as a replacement for the Julian calendar.
The years were made to adhere to the traditional original date of Jesus' birth.
BC and AD
Before Christ and anno Domini (year of our Lord)
also referrred to as BCE (before common era) and
CE (common era)

That occured about 400 years after the birth of christ. The gregorian calendar was developed when the church was all powerful and could manipulate society because it kept the masses uneducated. This of course meant that they (the masses) could not question anything. The calendar was developed by a monk, Dionysus Exiguus, who guessed at the birth year if jesus (and got it wrong). He also didn't understand the concept of zero (unlike most eastern scholars) so the first year after christ's birth was 1 instead of 0, hence the controversy at the end of the millenium

Pope Gregory made it happen.
His calculations were wrong though. He had Jesus born the wrong year. That's why we no longer use B.C and A.D. Plus it was kind of silly to divide history that way in the first place.

God is more active and powerful in our world than most people think.
It is hard to believe that the whole world now uses the considered date of a little baby's birth as the division of history if there weren't some power behind it.
