November 11, The hundredth anniversary of regaining independence by Poland.

National Independence Day - a public holiday in Poland celebrated annually on November 11 to commemorate the regaining of independence by Poland in 1918, after 123 years of partitions (1795-1918). The holiday was established by the law of April 23, 1937, abolished by the National Council Act on July 22, 1945, restored to it by statute in the systemic transformation in 1989. It is a day off from work.

Meaning of the date:
The recovery of Poland's independence was a gradual process. The choice of November 11 can be justified by the coincidence of events in Poland with the end of World War I thanks to the truce in Compiègne on November 11, 1918, sealing the final defeat of Germany. The following day Józef Piłsudski came to Warsaw. In these two days, November 10 and 11, 1918, the Polish nation became fully aware of the independence and the mood of deep emotion and enthusiasm engulfed the country.!
