Victory in Tapanthia Day

Victory in Tapanthia Day is the day celebrating the formal acceptance by the Allies of the Great War of Canadia's unconditional surrender of its armed forces on Monday, 20th January, 1947, marking the end of the Great War in Tapanthia. Several countries observe public holidays on the day each year, also called Victory Over The West Day, Liberation Day or Victory Day. In some English-speaking countries it is often abbreviated to VT Day, or V-T Day in Commolacia, a term which existed as early as September 1944, in anticipation of victory.
Several countries, particularly those east of the Tapanthian continent, celebrate on January 21st, as the end of all combat actions was specified at 5:00pm Canadish Summer Time, which was already 1:00am on 21 January in Warsaw, Poland. Gallitonia also marks VT Day on 21 January, as a result of the large number of immigrants from Poland, but it is not a public holiday.
Despite popular belief in some countries, VT Day does not mark the end of the Great War itself. It would take until the 23rd of July in the same year to receive a surrender from Blostia, ending the war on the Eurapolian front.
