Angola - Liberation Movement Day
On February 4, Angola celebrates Liberation Movement Day, also known as Day of the Armed Struggle. This public holiday commemorates the anniversary of the Baixa de Cassanje revolt that is considered a trigger for the Angolan War of Independence.
After the Dutch occupation of the territory of modern-day Angola, the Portuguese sought to reassert their control over the area. The struggle over the territory had lasted for more than two centuries, until Angola was incorporated as a Portuguese colony in 1886.

Mexico - Constitution Day
Constitution Day is a public holiday in Mexico. Unlike the most countries, that have a set date of the holiday, the Mexicans celebrate it on the first Monday in February.
Constitution Day in Mexico celebrates the ratification of the 1917 Constitution, that was adopted after the end of the Mexican Revolution. The Mexican Constitution became the fist such document in the world to set social rights. It served as the model for the Russian Constitution of 1918 and the Weimar Constitution in 1919.

Sri Lanka - Independence Day
Sri Lanka celebrates its Independence Day on February 4. It is the country's national holiday celebrated with much pomp and ceremony.
The colonial history of Sri Lanka began in the 16th century when the island of Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka) was invaded by the Portuguese. In the 17th century, the Dutch got rid of the Portuguese settlers. After the Napoleonic War, the island became a British colony.
In the early 20th century, the development of the Sri Lankan independence movement began. It was a peaceful movement led primarily by the educated middle class. Despite the peaceful nature of the independence movement, riots also took place, for example, the 1915 Ceylonese Riots that were brutally suppressed by the colonial authorities.
