The anniversary of Poland's independence on November 11, 1918 (when Poland regained its independence after 123 years of partition by Russia, Prussia, and Austria). The day is observed with a military parade, the president's address, and the flying of the Polish flag (white and red). The day is both celebration and reflection, because the independence was followed by decades of war, occupation, and communism. The independence march in Warsaw draws hundreds of thousands of participants.
