Historical Context of Daylight Saving Time
Daylight Saving Time was first proposed in the late 19th century to make better use of daylight. Initially adopted during World War I, it aimed to save energy. Today, many countries, including the U.S. and Spain, continue this tradition, but the debate over its necessity rages on.
