Luwum rose through the ranks of the Anglican Church and was appointed Archbishop of the Church of Uganda\, Rwanda\, Burundi\, and Boga-Zaire in 1974. \nAs a religious leader\, Luwum became a strong moral voice during a time of widespread political oppression under the dictatorship of Idi Amin. \nLuwum used his position to publicly criticize the Ugandan government for its human rights violations\, killings and corruption. He especially condemned the military's brutality and the enforced disappearances of civilians. \nIn February 1977\, he and other church leaders delivered a protest letter directly to President Amin. Soon after delivering the letter\, Luwum was arrested under false charges of treason. \nOn February 16\, 1977\, he was killed. The government claimed it was a car accident\, but it was later revealed he had been shot in the mouth at close range. \nHis murder shocked the world and drew strong condemnation from religious leaders and governments across the globe. Luwum's death symbolized the courage of faith leaders standing up for justice\, even at the cost of their lives. \nIn 1998\, he was recognized by the Church of England with a statue at Westminster Abbey in London\, as one of the 20th-century martyrs. \nIn 2015\, the Ugandan government officially declared February 16 a public holiday to honor Archbishop Luwum's sacrifice.

The holiday originated in 1918\, during the Russian Civil War (1917–1922)\, a turbulent period following the October Revolution. \nThe Bolshevik government\, led by Vladimir Lenin\, established the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army on January 28\, 1918 (February 10 in the Gregorian calendar). A few weeks later\, on February 23\, 1918\, mass volunteer recruitment events were held across Russia to strengthen the Red Army against advancing German forces near St. Petersburg. Although early Soviet historians later exaggerated the military success of that day\, it became symbolically associated with the birth of the Red Army. \nIn 1919\, February 23 was officially declared "Red Army Day"\, commemorating the formation of the Soviet military. The holiday quickly became one of the most significant annual celebrations in the Soviet calendar\, honoring the soldiers and promoting loyalty to the Communist Party and the revolution. \nDuring World War II (1941–1945)\, February 23 gained deeper meaning as the Soviet Union fought for survival against Nazi Germany. It evolved from a day commemorating the Red Army's founding into one celebrating the courage\, sacrifice\, and heroism of all who defended the Soviet homeland. \nAfter the war\, the holiday was renamed "Soviet Army and Navy Day" in 1949\, expanding its scope to include all military branches\, and it became a major state holiday. Over time\, it also became informally known as "Men's Day"\, since nearly every Soviet family had members who had served in the military. Women often gave small gifts or greetings to male relatives and colleagues\, mirroring the way International Women's Day (March 8) honored women. \nAfter the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991\, the Russian Federation retained February 23 as a national observance. In 2002\, it was officially renamed "Defender of the Fatherland Day" and designated as a public holiday. \nThe holiday's meaning broadened from honoring soldiers alone to celebrating all who serve or have served\, including veterans\, reservists\, and those working in national defense. It also remains a day of appreciation for men in general\, continuing the tradition of being informally called Men's Day.

Under the new administration led by Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang (KMT) government\, tensions quickly escalated between the local Taiwanese population and mainland Chinese authorities due to corruption\, repression and cultural tensions. \nOn February 27\, 1947\, a confrontation between officials and a cigarette vendor in Taipei turned violent. The following day\, February 28\, large-scale protests and riots erupted across Taiwan. \nThe ROC government responded with military force\, leading to a brutal crackdown that resulted in the deaths of an estimated 10\,000 to 30\,000 civilians and the arrest of thousands more. This marked the beginning of a period of authoritarian rule known as the White Terror\, during which political dissent was harshly suppressed. \nFor decades\, the 228 Incident was a taboo topic in public discourse. In the 1990s\, during Taiwan's democratization\, calls for truth and reconciliation gained momentum. \nIn 1995\, then-President Lee Teng-hui-the first Taiwan-born president\, formally apologized for the government's role in the 228 Incident. The same year\, the February 28 Incident Memorial Foundation was established to support survivors and victims' families. \nIn 1997\, the Legislative Yuan (Taiwan's parliament) officially declared February 28 a national holiday "Peace Memorial Day" to honor the victims and promote healing and democracy.
