Independence day calendar

Here’s a little Christmas treat for anyone into geography trivia: a calendar of inde­pen­dence anni­ver­sa­ries from around the world. Help your­self to a copy and impress your friends with the useless­ness of things you remember with seemingly no effort.

I copied all the dates and desc­rip­tions from the List of national inde­pen­dence days on Wiki­pedia and simply refor­matted the data into an iCalendar file. If you spot errors or omis­sions, please cont­ri­bute to the original article: I have it on my watch­list.

You can leech on the file I’ve uploaded, but note that it’s slow, read-only, and will one day go offline without a warning. The other option is to down­load the .ics, import it to your calendar app of choice and edit it as you wish. I make no copy­right claims.

A Finnish version without the expla­na­tory desc­rip­tion texts is also avai­lable.
