Finland’s Independence Day (Finnish: itsenäisyyspäivä Swedish: självständighetsdag) is a national public holiday held on 6 December to celebrate Finland’s declaration of independence from the Russian Republic. The movement for Finland’s independence started after the revolutions in Russia caused by disturbances inside Russia from hardships connected to the First World War. This gave Finland an opportunity to withdraw from Russian rule.
