There’s that old riddle that asks if they have July 4 in England. Of course, in Norway they would ask “do they have May 17 in America?” In this quiz, we’ve got 12 countries with independence days throughout the year. Can you match the country to the date of independence?
And to all of our readers in Bolivia and Jamaica, happy Independence Day!

12 out of 12! Ok, I confess. I cheated, but for a very good reason.
THE PHILIPPINES IS NOT ON THE QUIZ!!!!
I mean, i think many Americans out there think that the Philippines’s Independence day is July 4. But it’s not. That’s America’s Independence Day. Our REAL independence day is June 12. That’s some trivia for you Yankees out there who think that July 4 is our independence day.
