    Why do France, a country with a big christian influence, starts on monday then? And most european countries too

    And I thought that in those religions God rested on the last day or something

      Germany switched to starting Monday in 1969/1976. Before, since the middle age, it had been practice to start the week on Sunday. However, I don’t know why this was changed.

      Traditionally, the seventh, “no-work”, day is Sabbat, which happens to be on Saturday.
