It's my understanding that the first Ecumenical Council in Nicea adopted September 1 as the start of the new church year.
Do all the ECCs continue to celebrate this as the start of the new Liturgical year?
I know the Roman rite Liturgical year commences with Advent. Do any of the other rites of the Latin church use the Sept. 1 start for the Liturgical year?
Any links to resources for what was the source of the change in the Liturgical year for the Roman rite (or all of the Latin church, if that is the case)?

For the Churches of the Byzantine Tradition, the Church year begins on 1 September. However, the liturgical year is measured in "Weeks After Pentecost", thus each annual liturgical cycle begins at Pentecost, with the cycle of the Octoechoes starting on the second Sunday after Pentecost. The cycle is interrupted by the Nativity/Theophany cycle, the Lenten Cycle, Great Week and the Paschal Cycle, and the Pentecostarion after Pascha.

The Roman rite, the Ambrosian rite and the Mozarabic rite all start their liturgical year with the 1st Sunday of Advent. However, they do not have the same number of Sundays of Advent.
The Roman rite has four Sundays of Advent, so that the 1st Sunday of Advent in the Roman rite falls between November 27 and December 3.
The Ambrosian rite and the Mozarabic rite both have six Sundays of Advent, so that the 1st Sunday of Advent in these two rites falls between November 12 and November 18.
