Introduction
Just as India celebrates Independence Day on 15 August, several other countries around the world also mark this same date for significant national or independence-related events. Like every year, this year too the commemorations will be unique and steeped in historical memory.
1. The Two Koreas: National Liberation Day – 광복절 (Gwangbokjeol)
Both South Korea and North Korea celebrate 15 August as “National Liberation Day.” It marks the end of Japanese colonial rule in 1945.
The day is observed with parades, cultural programs, and is remembered as one of the most important milestones of liberation in the Korean Peninsula.
2. Bahrain: Independence from British Rule – 15 August 1971
Bahrain effectively gained independence from British control on 15 August 1971.
Although the state does not officially celebrate the day, it holds great significance from a historical perspective.
3. Republic of the Congo: Freedom from French Colonial Rule – 15 August 1960
The Republic of the Congo gained independence from French Equatorial Africa on 15 August 1960.
Each year, the day is celebrated with rallies and cultural programs, especially in the capital, Brazzaville.
4. Liechtenstein: National Day & Religious Festival – 15 August
While not an Independence Day, this date is observed as National Day in Liechtenstein.
It was chosen for its overlap with a religious holiday (Assumption Day) and the birthday of a member of the royal family — celebrated this way since 1940.
5. National Acadian Day, Canada – 15 August
For Canada’s Francophone Acadian community, 15 August is “National Acadian Day.”
It is both a religious feast and a cultural celebration, chosen because it coincides with the Feast of the Holy Mary.
