Malta - Sette Guigno
One of Malta's national holidays is Sette Guigno, which is translated from Italian as “Seventh of June”. It commemorates the uprising against the British colonial government which occurred on June 7, 1919.
Malta was not conquered by Britain, it voluntarily became part of the British Empire in 1800. After the First World War, the colonial government failed to provide an adequate supply of food provision for the Maltese islands. The cost of living increased dramatically, which led to increased struggle of the local population for greater autonomy.
