[Ans] Which nations celebrated the New Year first?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which nations celebrated the New Year first?"



Mesopotamia (Iraq) instituted the concept of celebrating the new year in 2000 BC, celebrated new year around the time of the vernal equinox, in mid-March. The early Roman calendar designated March 1 as the new year. The calendar had just ten months, beginning with March. That the new year once began with the month of March is still reflected in some of the names of the months. September through December, our ninth through twelfth months, were originally positioned as the seventh through tenth months. (Septem is Latin for "seven"; octo, "eight"; novem, "nine"; and decem, "ten".) Roman legend usually credited their second king Numa with the establishment of the months of January and February. These were first placed at the end of the year, but at some point came to be considered the first two months instead.




Step 2 : Answer to the question "Which nations celebrated the New Year first?"



Kiribati & Samoa:


Samoa and Christmas Island in Kiribati were the first to welcome 2018, followed by New Zealand. Samoa used to be one of the last places in the world to celebrate the New Year, being the last spot on earth to see the sunset. But it became the first place to see the sunrise on Dec. 31, 2011, by wiping a full day, Dec. 30, 2011, off its calendar. When Samoa and Kiribati rang in the New Year, the local time in New York was 5am Dec 31, 2017, local time in London was 10am and local time in Sydney was 9pm Dec 31, 2017.
