Happy Fourth of July! As Americans prepare for a day of parades, barbecues, fireworks, and all-around celebrating our independence, you may wonder what actually happened on the day we hold so dear in our collective American psyche: July 4, 1776. What you may not know is that Thursday, July 4, 1776 was actually pretty uneventful.
July 4 was intentionally chosen by the United States because it corresponds to its Independence Day, and this day was observed in the Philippines as Independence Day until 1962. In 1964, the name of the July 4 holiday was changed to Republic Day. In Rwanda, July 4 is an official holiday known as Liberation Day, commemorating the end of the 1994 Rwandan Genocide in which the U.S. government also played a role. Denmark also celebrates American independence on July 4.
