It falls on 15th August. Why? Because on this day, in 1920, Polish armies successfully repelled Bolshevik troops attacking Warsaw during Polish-Bolshevik War. Bolsheviks, mainly Russians, were defeated and lost the war. Poland didn`t become a communist country as Lenin expected.
There are multiple celebrations all over Poland on the day. The main one takes place in Warsaw as a huge parade of soldiers and weapons.
The current gov is suggesting that this year`s parade is going to be the most spectacular since Poland threw off communism in 1989.
