An '''Independence Day''' is, as the name suggests, a day which celebrates the independence of a nation or other body of people. It typically marks the day when the independence was won, or when it was first declared. For example, the [[United States Independence Day]] is on July 4th, the day independence [[Declaration of Independence|was declared]] from [[Britain]]. A revolutionary war ensued, involving years of hostilities before the declaration was accepted by the British. However, New Zealand has an independence day known as [[Waitangi Day]]. In this case, it marks the day hostilities ended and a treaty was formed recognizing their independence.
