Many resisted and escaped into the dense rainforest\, forming independent communities far from colonial control. \nThese communities became known as Maroons (or Bushinengue in Suriname). They preserved African traditions\, spiritual practices and languages\, while adapting to the Amazonian environment. \nThe Maroons waged guerrilla wars against Dutch forces and plantation owners. They launched raids to free others from slavery and defended their autonomy. For decades\, the colonial authorities were unable to defeat them militarily. \nEventually\, the Dutch agreed to negotiate. Between 1760 and 1762\, a series of peace treaties were signed with different Maroon groups (notably the Ndyuka\, Saramaka\, and Matawai). Suriname's Maroons thus became some of the first freed Black communities in the Americas recognized by a colonial power. \nTo honor this history\, October 10 was chosen as Maroons Day\, marking the treaties that guaranteed Maroon autonomy. \nThe holiday was officially declared by the Surinamese government in 2011.

Both Austria and the new kingdom claimed parts of southern Carinthia\, a region with mixed German-speaking and Slovene-speaking populations. \nIn 1919\, the Treaty of Saint-Germain confirmed Austria's independence but left disputes over Carinthia unresolved. Armed clashes broke out between Austrian and Yugoslav forces in the contested zone. To prevent further conflict\, the Allied powers decided the issue should be settled by a referendum. \nThe referendum gave people living in the southern Carinthian zone a choice: remain part of Austria\, or join the Kingdom of Serbs\, Croats\, and Slovenes. \nDespite expectations that Slovene speakers might favor joining Yugoslavia\, the result was 59% in favor of staying with Austria\, including many Slovene-speaking Carinthians. \nThe plebiscite secured Austria's southern border\, preventing further military disputes. It also symbolized the principle of self-determination promoted after World War I. For Carinthia\, it became a key moment of regional identity and pride. \nSince 1920\, October 10 has been celebrated as Referendum Day in Carinthia. It became an official regional holiday in Carinthia (though not nationwide).
