Algeria Independence Day 2019
This Doodle’s Key Themes
Today’s Doodle celebrates Algeria National Day, which commemorates the North African country’s independence from France on July 5th, 1962. After more than a century of colonial rule, a national liberation movement arose in Algeria.
The green and white flag flies proudly throughout Algeria today, with a red star and crescent reflecting the nation’s religious context and its history. Along with parades and cultural events, National Day is celebrated with big parades in Algiers and other cities. Concerts and cultural events are organized in the national stadiums across the country.
Happy National Day, Algeria!
