<holidayfyi-glossary slug="sovereignty-day"></holidayfyi-glossary>A national holiday commemorating the moment at which a nation or territory gained or asserted full political sovereignty, which may differ from independence from colonial rule in cases where sovereignty was gained gradually or restored after occupation. Examples include Kazakhstan's Sovereignty Declaration Day (25 October) and Ukraine's Day of Sovereignty (16 July), and these observances are particularly important in post-Soviet states where the distinction between formal independence and full self-governance carries deep historical significance.
