Algeria National Day 2023

Google Dooles 05.07.2023 08:16  Date: July 5, 2023 Today’s Doodle celebrates Algerian Independence Day, a national holiday that honors the hardships the country’s people faced on the path to independence. On this day in 1962, the nation broke free from French colonial rule after 132 years. Algeria began fighting for its autonomy in 1954. Freedom came after an arduous eight years of the war for independence. Leaders of the two countries signed a peace treaty called the Evian Accords in March of 1962, and the country’s independence was made official in early July. Algeria celebrates its independence on July 5th, the anniversary of the initial French invasion, giving the day new meaning and association. Festivities like parades, concerts, and cultural events are held for Algerians to come together, show their national pride, and preserve traditions. Today’s Doodle features the country’s flag, a vertical bicolor of green and white, with a red crescent moon and star in the middle. The flag flies proudly across the republic today, and people often wear these colors to show patriotism. Happy Independence Day, Algeria! Location: Tags:
