Independence days around the world

Most countries on Earth, besides the most resilient of empires, have declared independence from a larger ruling faction at some point in time. In Europe, many countries gained independence through the dissolution of long-standing monarchies and empires.

The French Revolution in particular, which took place at the end of the 18th century and freed France from monarchal rule, was seen as the blueprint for nearly every revolution that came after it. Let's look at other independence movements around the world and the holidays that celebrate them.
