Afghanistan, Afghanistan
Afghanistan Independence Day is on August 19. Did you know that the holiday does not celebrate Afghanistan’s Independence from Britain because it was never part of the British empire? It is celebrated to commemorate their independence from British influence and the treaty of Rawalpindi (or Anglo-Afghan Treaty), which recognized the independence and sovereignty of Afghanistan. It is celebrated in the country with official speeches and military displays, and Afghans celebrate with their national dance called ‘attana,’ decorating their homes and displaying the national flag.
