It is one of the most significant holidays in countries of the former Soviet Union. \nWhen is Victory Day?\nVictory Day is celebrated on May 9 every year. \nThe following is the list of Victory Day from 2020 to 2049. \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n HolidayDateWeekday\n\n\n\n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2020Saturday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2021Sunday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2022Monday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2023Tuesday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2024Thursday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2025Friday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2026Saturday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2027Sunday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2028Tuesday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2029Wednesday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2030Thursday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2031Friday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2032Sunday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2033Monday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2034Tuesday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2035Wednesday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2036Friday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2037Saturday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2038Sunday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2039Monday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2040Wednesday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2041Thursday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2042Friday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2043Saturday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2044Monday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2045Tuesday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2046Wednesday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2047Thursday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2048Saturday \n \n Victory DayMay 09\, 2049Sunday \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nThe History of Victory Day?\nOn May 8\, 1945\, Nazi Germany officially surrendered to Allied forces. Because of the time difference\, the surrender was announced in Moscow in the early hours of May 9\, which is why Soviet countries mark that date. \nThe war in Europe ended after six years of devastating conflict\, costing millions of lives and reshaping the global political landscape. \nDuring World War II\, known in the USSR as the Great Patriotic War (1941–1945)\, the Soviet Union played a central role in defeating Nazi Germany. \nOver 1.5 million Uzbeks were mobilized into the Red Army. Many fought on key fronts such as Stalingrad\, Leningrad\, and Berlin. Uzbekistan also supported the war effort by sheltering evacuees\, producing wartime supplies\, and contributing agricultural goods. The republic suffered heavy losses\, and countless families were affected by the war's toll. \nVictory Day was a major Soviet holiday\, celebrated with military parades and public events. After gaining independence in 1991\, Uzbekistan retained the holiday but gave it a unique name and emphasizing tribute to both soldiers and civilians affected by war. It's a day of solemn reflection\, not only on military victory but on the suffering endured during the conflict.

By the late 19th century\, most Southern states had adopted Confederate Memorial Day as an official holiday\, however\, the dates varied by state\, often tied to significant events in the Confederacy's history. \nThe holiday became less prominent over time as national observances like Memorial Day gained popularity. Some Southern states\, such as Alabama\, Mississippi\, and South Carolina\, still recognize the holiday\, though public interest has declined. \n \nWhat Do People Do on This Day?\nThe holiday is controversial due to its celebration of Confederate figures\, who fought to preserve slavery and opposed the Union during the Civil War. The holiday participation in the holiday has declined over time and is now mostly limited to small groups or organizations that focus on preserving Confederate heritage. \nPeople may visit Confederate cemeteries or monuments to lay wreaths and flowers on soldiers' graves. \nSome communities host parades with period costumes\, Confederate flags\, and historical reenactments of battles or key events. \nMuseums and historical societies may organize lectures\, exhibits\, or discussions about the Civil War and the Confederacy. Tours of historic battlefields\, cemeteries\, and Confederate landmarks are sometimes offered. \nIn some areas\, special church services are held to honor Confederate soldiers. These may include hymns\, sermons\, and prayers dedicated to their memory. \nThe American Civil War (1861–1865)\nThe American Civil War (1861–1865) was a pivotal conflict in U.S. history\, fought between the Union (the Northern states) and the Confederacy (the Southern states). The war arose primarily over deep-seated divisions concerning slavery\, states' rights\, and political power. \nThe Southern economy depended heavily on slavery\, while many in the North opposed its expansion into new territories and states. The election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860\, who opposed the spread of slavery\, intensified Southern fears of losing their way of life. Southern states argued for greater autonomy\, particularly regarding their right to maintain slavery and reject federal interference. \nFollowing Lincoln's election\, 11 Southern states seceded from the Union to form the Confederate States of America\, led by Jefferson Davis. \nThe war began on April 12\, 1861\, when Confederate forces attacked Fort Sumter in South Carolina. Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union General Ulysses S. Grant on April 9\, 1865\, effectively ending the war. The Civil War was the deadliest conflict in U.S. history\, with over 620\,000 deaths and countless others wounded.

The campaign was part of an Allied strategy to open a sea route to Russia by capturing the Ottoman Empire's capital\, Constantinople (Istanbul). \nHowever\, the ANZAC troops faced fierce resistance from the Ottoman forces\, led by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk\, the future founder of modern Turkey. The campaign turned into a brutal\, eight-month-long stalemate with extreme hardship and heavy casualties. Eventually\, the Allied forces withdrew in December 1915 and January 1916. \nDespite the military failure\, the courage displayed by the ANZAC soldiers became a defining moment in the national identities of Australia and New Zealand. \nThe first ANZAC Day was observed on April 25\, 1916\, a year after the Gallipoli landing. It was marked by memorial services and public gatherings in Australia\, New Zealand\, and the United Kingdom. \nDuring World War II (1939-1945)\, ANZAC Day broadened its meaning to honor all Australian and New Zealand soldiers who served in both world wars. By the late 1940s\, the day became a public holiday in most Australian states and New Zealand. \nIn the decades following the wars\, ANZAC Day continued to be a solemn day of remembrance\, though its significance declined somewhat during the 1960s and 1970s. However\, in the 1980s and 1990s\, ANZAC Day saw a resurgence in participation. \nToday\, ANZAC Day is one of the most significant national days in Australia and New Zealand. It honors not only those who fought at Gallipoli but all service members who have served in wars and peacekeeping operations. \n \nWhat Do People Do on This Day?\nANZAC Day is marked by a range of commemorative and cultural activities across Australia and New Zealand. \nThe Dawn Service is one of the most significant traditions\, held at war memorials and RSL clubs. It starts before sunrise\, symbolizing the time of the Gallipoli landing in 1915\, and the service usually includes: A moment of silence for reflection\, the Last Post played on a bugle\, a prayer and hymns\, recitation of "The Ode of Remembrance"\, and the National Anthems of Australia and New Zealand. \nVeterans\, current service members\, and descendants of ANZAC soldiers participate in parades and marches through major cities and towns. These marches honor past and present service members from various wars and peacekeeping missions. \nThroughout the day\, wreaths of poppies and rosemary (symbols of remembrance) are laid at memorials and cenotaphs. Many communities hold mid-morning memorial services featuring speeches\, readings\, and moments of silence. \nMany Australians and New Zealanders visit national war memorials\, such as Australian War Memorial (Canberra)\, Auckland War Memorial Museum and the Shrine of Remembrance (Melbourne). \nAustralia and New Zealand hold special ANZAC Day sporting matches. \nTwo-Up is a traditional Australian gambling game played on ANZAC Day\, particularly in pubs and RSL clubs. It was popular among WWI soldiers\, and the game is legally permitted only on ANZAC Day in most parts of Australia. \nMore about ANZAC\nThe Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) was a military formation of troops from Australia and New Zealand who fought together during World War I (1914-1918). The name ANZAC has since become a symbol of courage and national identity for both nations. \nThe ANZAC Corps was formed in December 1914 as part of the British Empire's forces. It was initially created for the Gallipoli Campaign (1915) but later served in the Middle East and Western Front. \nThe ANZACs landed at Gallipoli\, Turkey\, on April 25\, 1915\, as part of an Allied invasion against the Ottoman Empire. They faced fierce resistance resulting in a prolonged\, bloody campaign.\nAfter eight months of trench warfare and heavy casualties\, the Allies withdrew from December 1915 to January 1916. \nAfter Gallipoli\, many ANZAC soldiers were redeployed to France and Belgium to fight in trench warfare against Germany from 1916 to 1918. By 1918\, Australian and New Zealand troops played a key role in breaking German lines\, helping end the war. \nThe ANZAC Corps was officially disbanded in 1916\, but ANZAC troops continued to serve throughout World War I. ANZAC soldiers later served in World War II\, Korea\, Vietnam\, and modern conflicts.\nApril 25th\, ANZAC Day\, was established to commemorate their service.
