Hmmmmm historically the best time for war was when it wasn't cold. All of the snow is pretty much melted on mountain passes, All the plants have been planted and you don't have to tend to them much in agrarian places and the long days of sunlight all helped make July a perfect time for revolts.

I never thought about it before, but maybe it has to do with the weather - you don't want to launch a war in winter, when supplies and troops would be diluged by snow.
Have a pleasant day.

Many countries were liberated by the US from monarchy rule. Or were "founded or created" by former people from the US (Liberia, comes to mind).
So maybe its out of respect?
