Uruguay Independence Day 2022

Google Dooles 25.08.2022 05:15  Date: August 25, 2022 Today’s Doodle celebrates Uruguay's National Day, or Día de la Independencia, which marks the end of Brazilian rule in 1825. Three years after Uruguay declared independence, conflicts ended when Brazil finally recognized the country’s sovereignty in 1828. Uruguayans have been celebrating their freedom ever since. Uruguay’s independence has been hard-won. Since the start of the 19th century, Uruguayan people have survived the control of several colonizing powers—from England, to Spain, to Portugal and Brazil—in a short span of time. Uruguayans make the most out of commemorating this special holiday by beginning festivities the night before. Known as the Night of Nostalgia, it is tradition for dance halls, music venues and radio stations across the country to play old pop, rock and disco tunes on the evening of the 24th. The next day, people celebrate by enjoying patriotic ceremonies, national anthem recitals and a grand display of fireworks. As pictured in today’s artwork, Uruguayan flags can be seen flying through city streets throughout the holiday. Happy Independence Day, Uruguay! Location: Tags: , , , ,
