Egypt National Day 23 July

About the Day


The Egyptian Revolution of 1952, also known as the 23 July Revolution, began on 23 July 1952, with a military coup d'état by the Free Officers Movement, a group of army officers led by Muhammad Naguib and Gamal Abdel Nasser. The revolutionary government adopted a staunchly nationalist, anti-imperialist agenda, which came to be expressed chiefly through Arab nationalism, and international non-alignment.

The Revolution is commemorated each year on Egypt's national day, Revolution Day, on 23 July.

About the Day


Leopold I was the first king of Belgium.

After Belgium gained its independence from the Netherlands on 4 October 1830, the Belgian National Congress, after considering several other candidates, asked Leopold to become king of the newly formed country. He accepted and became "King of the Belgians" on 26nd June 1831. He swore allegiance to the constitution in the Royal Palace in Brussels on 21st July 1831. This day became the Belgian national holiday.
