Other than the USA which world countries do NOT use the metric system of weights and measures?

I am usually not a believer in cut-and-paste, but: The U.S. Metric Association has a superb answer to this question, along with a great graph showing when nations changed to the metric system. Here is their answer: Which other countries, besides the U.S., do not use the metric system? According to a survey taken by USMA many years ago, the only other countries that have not officially adopted the metric system are Liberia (in western Africa) and Burma (also known as Myanmar, in Southeast Asia).

These two countries did not have an official policy of converting to metric at the time of the survey.(Outside of what is shown on the chart, below, the details of that survey have been lost. However, since the original development of the chart, the information on Jamaica has been added. Note that the chart contains names of countries that changed names or were partitioned to be parts of other countries since that research was done.) Despite recent repeated inquiries to the governments of both countries, no official response from either country has been received as to whether a metric policy has been adopted since this survey was conducted.

The Web sites of these countries utilize both inch-pound and metric units. Visitors to these countries report some evidence of the use of the metric system. Most other countries have either used the metric system for many years, or have adopted the metric system within the last 30 or 40 years.

There is controversy about how to define whether a country is metric. Metrication is a process that does not happen all at once, but is rather an evolutionary process that happens over time. The metric transition in some countries is given in detail below.

Although nearly every country has taken steps to replace traditional measurements, the fact remains, that among countries with non-metric usage the U.S. Is the only significant holdout. The main point is that only a few smaller countries, including some Caribbean countries heavily influenced by the U.S., have not formally mandated the use of SI. However, even in these countries, SI is used to some extent.

And, use of the metric system in the U.S.Is ever growing, especially linked with the wider acceptance of global standards which are mostly in metric measurements. Just as English has become the global language of commerce, the metric system has become the global language of measurement. Thus the phrase heard more and more: "Speak in English, and Measure in Metric.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
