From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is NOT Independence day in Latvia today (21 Aug). This is not even a holiday! The real Independence Day is in November 18th. After coup d'etat in USSR in 1991 it was just the day when full independence was declared, although Latvia de iure was free already from May 4th 1990. So it goes - Independence day is November 18th, May 4th is the day of declaring the RENEWAL of the same state proclaimed in November 18th 1918, but August 21th is the anniversary when this declaration came into reality.
