      Poland celebrates the Independence Day (from Russia, German Empire and Austria-Hungary), although it’s not on the day the declaration of independence was announced

      This map is wrong.
      Russia does celebrate its independence day from USSR

      Jersey and Guernsey celebrate their Liberation from Nazi Occupation in May. Not ‘independence’ in the truest sense of this map but feels worth acknowledging.

      Canada Day is more about celebrating a union between formerly separate British colonies that would prevent their absorption into the United States. Kind of a quibble, but you could get the wrong idea from this map.

      It wasn’t proper independence, either, but partial legislative responsibility. Foreign policy and courts of appeal stayed in Britain until about 60 years later.

    5. No independence day for Russia from the Golden Horde? They should make a new holiday

    6. South Africa used to celebrate our independence from the United Kingdom (even though we remained in the Commonwealth), until it was replaced by Freedom Day (the first true Democratic elections in 1994)

    7. This is by far the worst map I’ve ever seen. You used the exact same colour for multiple keys???

      Turkey celebrates ‚National Sovereignty‘  holiday. Thats another way to say ’national independence‘, it implies that nation wasn’t sovereign before no?

      And i mean, the holiday is attributed to the day parliamant and a state/government that acts completely independent of the crown was established. What is this if not independence?

    9. Can’t find which ones celebrate independence from Germany..
      Must be something small? Samoa maybe?

      We do not really have a national independence day in the Netherlands, but in some places we do celebrate our independence from Spain. For example in the city where I live, we celebrate the first victory against the Spaniards on the eighth of October. We have parades and other festivities and the children are told the story in school.

      Switzerland does not celebrate the independence from germany, but rather a treaty of alliance between three places.

      I heard the Dominican Republic does not celebrate its independence from Spain.

      I heard they celebrate their independence from Haiti.

      Czechia celebrates its independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, not from Austria. Also what does ‘_Austria and/or Czechoslovakia_’ even mean? Why on earth would that be a category?

      I feel like Bastille Day is when France celebrates its independence from the tyrannical French.

      Any reasons why Laos doesn’t celebrate independence from france? Meanwhile vietnam and cambodia do?

    16. Canada Day definitely doesn’t celebrate independence, it celebrates the creation of the country; those two aren’t the same thing!

      Canada is independent, but the exact date is basically unknowable. There are many dates one could point to and say that’s when Canada became independent, but none are the true date as it gained independence slowly and surely (it’s on a gradient if you will). Balfour Declaration, Statute of Westminster, citizenship law, Canada Act are also legal instruments that could be said to declare Canada’s independence in some way — none Canada Day celebrates!

      So, Canada should be colored just like Australia.

      Why is French Guiana colored as not being independent when it should be colored as not having an independence date.

    18. Turkey celebrates the 19 May and 30 August as independence days sort of… From English, Greeks, French and Italians.

    19. This map is wrong, Russias Independence Day is on 12 June celebrating the declaration of Independence from the USSR
