Jamaica - National Heroes' Day
National Heroes' Day is observed in Jamaica on the third Monday in October. This day commemorates all national heroes and key figures from the history of Jamaica.

The rebellion turned out to be a turning point in the history of Jamaica. The first national heroes were named in 1965, on the 100th anniversary of the rebellion, and the official commemorative ceremony took place in 1968.

Tunisia - Evacuation Day
Evacuation Day is one of the public holidays in Tunisia. It's observed on October 15 every year on the anniversary of the retreat of the last French troops from Bizerte in 1963.
Tunisia became a French protectorate in 1881 and gained its independence only in 1956. The French troops were withdrawn from the territory of Tunisia, but the city of Bezerte had a strategic location on the Mediterranean Sea and France deployed its troops there. In 1961 Tunisian forces blockaded the city and demanded the withdrawal of French troops, but France brought reinforcement and started military actions against Tunisia. France took Bizerte and the town of Menzel Bourguiba.
