This may be the day of independence but doesn’t mean it’s celebrated as such e.g Dec 6th for Ireland has no meaning at all
Israel? No . Never part of the commonwealth
I donāt know about the other dates, but Canada Day is NOT a celebration of independence from the United Kingdom.
The sun never sets on celebrating leaving the British empireā¦
Canada Day celebrates confederation not independence
You’re welcome. It’s great being a main character.
NZ doesnt have an independence day or an equivalent. The closest in spirit (the ‘national day’) is Waitangi day in Feb which is when Te Tiriti o Waitangi (Treaty of Waitangi) was signed, allegedly allying the MÄori people with Britain and making NZ a colony. But that’s debated due to poor translation of the MÄori version of the document and kind of like a Dependence day anyway lol
Is putting a list in graph form really ādata is beautifulā.
It doesnāt really add anything over a list.
Australia does not have an independence day, because we are not independent.
The sun never set on the Empire when it was around so it makes sense it’s a long list
Australia Day (January 26) is not a celebration of independence from Britain, it is instead a ‘celebration’ of the landing of Captain Cook in Port Botany which either:
a) has lead to the country we are today, and was a very good thing or;
b) the beginning of an invasion and killings, with the government essentially kidnapping thousands of aboriginal children from their parents to ‘normalise’ them, from federation until the 1970s.
It is incredibly controversial and doesn’t coincide with our actual independence, which occured on January 1.
New Zealand doesnāt celebrate anything on that date.
We ācelebrateā the signing of The Treaty of Waitangi (which is essentially the opposite of independence) in February.
In fact, I doubt 90% of Kiwis know when independence was achieved or how (spoiler: it was a bit embarrassing)
2 months away from a clean sweep.
