Liberation Day
Liberation Day is a day, often a public holiday, that marks the liberation of a place, similar to an independence day. Liberation marks the date of
either a revolution, as in Cuba, the fall of an oppressive regime, as in
Portugal, or the end of an occupation by another state, as in the
Netherlands, thereby differing from independence in the meaning of
secession from another country.
