List of Countries by Independence Day
An annual celebration called an
independence day marks the anniversary of a country becoming independent or a
state, usually after ceasing to be a group or part of another nation or more
rarely after the end of a military occupation.
Not all countries mark independence as a national holiday. Many, such as Australia, Canada, Denmark, New Zealand, Ireland, Luxembourg, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Taiwan, and Turkey mark other dates of significance.
