ਰਾਸ਼ਟਰੀ ਆਜ਼ਾਦੀ ਦਿਨਾਂ ਦੀ ਸੂਚੀ

ਇੱਕ ਸੁਤੰਤਰਤਾ ਦਿਵਸ ਇੱਕ ਸਲਾਨਾ ਸਮਾਗਮ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ ਜੋ ਕਿਸੇ ਰਾਸ਼ਟਰ ਦੀ ਆਜ਼ਾਦੀ ਜਾਂ ਰਾਜ ਦਾ ਦਰਜਾ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਕਰਨ ਦੀ ਵਰ੍ਹੇਗੰਢ ਦੀ ਯਾਦ ਵਿੱਚ ਮਨਾਇਆ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ, ਆਮ ਤੌਰ 'ਤੇ ਕਿਸੇ ਹੋਰ ਦੇਸ਼ ਜਾਂ ਰਾਜ ਦਾ ਸਮੂਹ ਜਾਂ ਹਿੱਸਾ ਬਣਨ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ, ਜਾਂ ਬਹੁਤ ਘੱਟ ਹੀ ਇੱਕ ਫੌਜੀ ਕਬਜ਼ੇ ਦੇ ਅੰਤ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ। ਬਹੁਤ ਸਾਰੇ ਦੇਸ਼ ਬਸਤੀਵਾਦੀ ਸਾਮਰਾਜ ਤੋਂ ਆਪਣੀ ਆਜ਼ਾਦੀ ਦਾ ਜਸ਼ਨ ਮਨਾਉਂਦੇ ਹਨ।

ਸਾਰੇ ਦੇਸ਼ ਆਜ਼ਾਦੀ ਨੂੰ ਰਾਸ਼ਟਰੀ ਛੁੱਟੀ ਵਜੋਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਚਿੰਨ੍ਹਿਤ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ। ਬਹੁਤ ਸਾਰੇ, ਜਿਵੇਂ ਕਿ ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਆ, ਕੈਨੇਡਾ, ਡੈਨਮਾਰਕ, ਨਿਊਜ਼ੀਲੈਂਡ, ਆਇਰਲੈਂਡ, ਲਕਸਮਬਰਗ, ਸਾਊਦੀ ਅਰਬ, ਦੱਖਣੀ ਅਫਰੀਕਾ, ਤਾਈਵਾਨ, ਅਤੇ ਤੁਰਕੀ ਮਹੱਤਵ ਵਾਲੀਆਂ ਹੋਰ ਤਾਰੀਖਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਚਿੰਨ੍ਹਿਤ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ।
