World standard time was first introduced in the 1800s, specifically in 1884 with the establishment of the International Meridian Conference. This conference established a standard prime meridian (0° longitude) and divided the world into 24 time zones, each one hour apart from the next. This system was later adopted by many countries around the world and is still in use today.
