About National Independence Day

This National Independence Day is celebrated on 9 November each year. If 9 November falls on a weekday, the accompanying working day will be a holiday. The occasion was set up to praise the commemoration of Cambodia's autonomy from France on 9 November 1953 and is Cambodia's national occasion. The locale of Cambodia turned into a region of impact under the manager of the Angkorian time from the eighth century.

By the 15th century, the impact of the Khmers wound down and the kingdom was liable to control by the Spanish and Portuguese. With the entry of the French in 1863, Cambodia turned into a protectorate of France and a virtual settlement by the twentieth century. In 1941, the French introduced Prince Sihanouk on the Cambodian position of royalty. Having detected that the French impact was influenced by World War II, with the help of the Japanese, Sihanouk pronounced freedom from France in March 1945.

Cambodian Independence Day is praised with celebrations, parades, and firecracker shows crosswise over Cambodia. The principle festivities are held in Phnom Penh starting with a formal function at the Independence Monument, which is arranged at the intersection of the Preah Norodom and Preah Sihanouk Bouleds. This is trailed by an occasion parade including bright buoys and walking groups before the Royal Palace. In the night, the Royal Palace and different structures are lit up and a colossal firecrackers show happens close to the riverbanks of the Royal Palace.
