    The independence day, at least for Slovakia and Czech republic, is not about celebrating leaving Czechoslovakia, but about founding of their own states. In Czech republic we also have a day to celebrate creation of Czechoslovakia. This might sound like a small difference, but the feeling are quite different about it. Comparing it for example with independence of USA from UK or Latvia from USSR.

    11:36 wrong Portugal was never under Spanish rule to get its independence, it was a Iberian Union not a Spanish Union, Portugal and Spain shared the same Monarch who was also half Portuguese, but the Kingdom of Portugal remained independent, its what shows the document agreed by the King himself at Courts of Tomar in 1581, the independence we celebrate is a Dynastic independence, not territorial nor administrative.

      Kinda the same with Belgium and The Netherlands, they together were 1 country until the people of Belgium revolted. (Belgium was not a part of the current country that is the Netherlands)

    I am a little late , but it's worth an explanation.
    Armenia has two independence days:
    1)May 28 1918 from russian empire and ottoman empire .The Russian army retreated from the area after the 1917 revolution , so the ottoman attempted to take the land , which had to be stopped by force in 3 battles (Sartarabad , Gharakilise , Pash Abaran) Like sure we lost a little bit of land in western Armenia (Gars , Ani ...) but the difference between the two armies was so big , that we celebrate it as a victory.
    2) September 21 1991 from the Soviet Union after the fall of the Union.

    Portuguese independence from Spain is a bit difficult, as Portugal precedes Spain by almost 4 hundred years. Portugal gained independence from the Kingdom of Leon, a kingdom that eventually joined several others and together they became Spain.
    Portugal and Spain shared a dynasty, but Portugal never lost sovereignty (was ruled by the same king, but kingdom, courts and laws were our own). That 1 of December there is when we celebrate the end of that cursed dynasty (that tried to null the Portuguese independency by voiding the agreement reached in the Courts of Tomar in 1581, so in 1640 we revolted and placed another dynasty on the throne), but Portugal was never under Spain rule, just the kings were the same (and when they tried to put us under the Spanish Courts, we sent them packing).

    Estonia gained its independence from Russia in 1918 and restored its independence in 1991 from Soviet Russia. (Actually you can even see it on the graph, it has two arrows). Originally Finland and Estonia got their independence at the same time (1917 and 1918 respectively), but Estonia was later occupied by Soviet Russia, then nazi Germany and Soviet Russia again, which ended up lasting half a century.

    There is this "city" that I believe is the hardest to get to
    First you take a 4hr plane ride to Nikolai (no bathroom) from Anchorage Alaska
    Then at top speeds take a 12hr boat ride to Salmon River Alaska with 6 people
