Poland Independence Day

Poland Independence Day, celebrated on November 11th, is a significant national holiday marking the restoration of Poland’s sovereignty as the Second Polish Republic in 1918. After 123 years of partition and occupation by the German, Austro-Hungarian, and Russian empires, Poland reemerged as an independent nation following the end of World War I. On this day, Poles across the country observe a public holiday and proudly display the Polish flag. Commemorative events, including parades, ceremonies, and cultural performances, honor the sacrifices made by those who fought for Poland’s freedom. Independence Day serves as a time for reflection on Poland’s tumultuous history and a celebration of the nation’s resilience, unity, and determination to preserve its identity and sovereignty.
