So, the US has 4th of July, France has Bastille day. What about those other countries we never hear about?
Does England or Scotland have an independence day?
Anyone know the name and dates of holidays like this in other countries?

Actually, gloria, Bastille Day has everything to do with Independence Day. Bastille Day celebrates the creation of the modern French government and constitution. The Bastille was a prison where people were kept on the whims of the kings. By storming the Bastille, the people of Paris were symbolically showing their rebellion against the absolutist monarchies that dominated the French people before the National Assembly was established.

July 4th has nothing to do with Bastille Day. July 4th relates to freedom. Bastille Day relates to bloody, senseless massacres. Americans did not hang innocent bakers and shopkeepers from lightposts. American soldiers did not follow orders from low-class street-women. American soldiers did not abandon their posts. Americans were inspired by sacred martyrs like Ben Franklin, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. There is no comparison between such great leaders and easily-rattled individuals such as Herbert and Robespierre. The followers of Bastille Day allowed themselves to be manipulated by any loud-mouthed lackey or dairymaid. The salons were crackhouses that served chocolate beverages instead of crack. The American leaders were dignified people who had right and reason on their side.
