We’re covering Independence Days around the world — Labour’s victory in Britain, President Biden and Andy Murray. [People in American flag cowboy hats watching fireworks. ] In Hoboken, N.J. Jeenah Moon for The New York Times Americans declared independence from the British 248 years ago. Throughout this long weekend, people will celebrate the holiday with a hot, sticky spectacle of national identity. Towns hold parades and shoot fireworks, families have barbecues and crowds wear red, white and blue.

Dozens of other countries have seceded from the British Empire. Even more have seceded from other empires, and many countries mark their liberty with holidays that display their national identities, too. We wanted to share how other countries honor their independence each summer. Here’s a look: Algeria | July 5 [Boys sit on a bus waving Algerian flags.] In Algiers.  Mohamed Messara/EPA, via Shutterstock Algeria lived under 132 years of colonial French rule. After a brutal war, the country declared its independence on the anniversary of the French invasion of Algiers. Across the country, Algerians hold parades and dress in traditional tribal clothing. The president issues pardons to thousands of prisoners including, in some instances, anti-government activists. Iceland | June 17 Iceland was part of Denmark until it held a referendum during the Nazi era. Icelanders now celebrate independence on the birthday of Jón Sigurðsson, a major figure in the Icelandic independence movement. People hold parades across the island; they often include a woman meant to personify Iceland. She wears a traditional dress and recites a poem. Indonesia | Aug. 17 [Men climb to the top of greased poles. ] A greased-pole race in Jakarta, Indonesia.  Mast Irham/EPA, via Shutterstock A four-year war ended Dutch colonial rule in Indonesia. Indonesians hold games and competitions to celebrate, like sack races and eating contests. One of the most popular games is “panjat pinang,” where players attempt to climb a greasy pole to get the prizes sitting on top — including, often, bicycles. Jamaica | Aug. 6 Jamaica commemorates its turn from a British colony to a Commonwealth country with around a week of parades. Jamaican artists also participate in a competition to write an original, patriotic song. (Here [are some of the winning songs](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRoalFlP0TeaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vcGxheWxpc3Q_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDI0MDcwNSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMjgwMDAmbGlzdD1QTElrRV94VmdJdFM3WVBWbjVIelpjdXc2d0VXT2xrVkZGJm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNzEzNjgmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmZ0ZsyHZqLODKlSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~) over the years.) Niger | Aug. 3 Niger’s independence day, commemorating the end of French colonial rule, coincides with its National Arbor Day, which encourages Nigeriens to plant trees. In the last few decades, over 200 million new trees have grown in southern Niger. North and South Korea | Aug. 15 [Two girls holding South Korean flags.] Sisters holding flags in Seoul. Jeon Heon-Kyun/EPA, via Shutterstock North and South Korea both celebrate their independence from 35 years of Japanese imperial rule. It is one of the few holidays the countries share. North Korea knows the day as “Liberation of the Fatherland Day.” In South Korea, where the holiday’s literal translation is “Restoration of Light Day,” buildings are decorated with the national flag. Pakistan and India | Aug. 14 and 15, respectively [Soldiers in black and red uniforms stand at attention. ] Pakistani troops at the border with India.  Shahzaib Akber/EPA, via Shutterstock After decades of colonial rule, Britain left the Indian subcontinent in 1947, partitioning the region into two new countries: India and Pakistan. Pakistan and India both still celebrate the partition as their independence. On their border, Indian and Pakistani soldiers perform a daily symbolic ritual of rivalry to roaring crowds. But on this special occasion, forces also share sweets and gifts with their counterparts on the other side, a gesture of peace. Peru | July 28 [Women carry guns in a parade.] In Lima, Peru. Aldair Mejia/EPA, via Shutterstock Peru celebrates its independence from Spain by celebrating for multiple days. Schools hold winter break during this period, workers receive bonuses and the military holds a parade. Presidents or vice presidents are also inaugurated on the holiday. Philippines | June 12 [Soldiers hold a Philippine flag. ] In Manila. Rolex Dela Pena/EPA, via Shutterstock Filipinos celebrate their declaration of independence from Spain after more than 300 years of colonial rule. Today, people honor their heritage online by writing alternative Philippine history and [sharing memes](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRoalFlP0TIaHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9QaGlsaXBGdXIvc3RhdHVzLzE4MDA4MTkzODQxMzY3MjA2ODg_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDI0MDcwNSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMjgwMDAmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE3MTM2OCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZnRmzIdmos4MqVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD) about events from the past.
