July 1 is Hong Kong Handover Day or Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Establishment Day
Establishment Day, formally the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Establishment Day (Chinese: 香港特別行政區成立紀念日), is celebrated annually on 1 July in Hong Kong since 1997. The holiday commemorates the transfer of the sovereignty of Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to the People's Republic of China and the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
July 1 is also Canada Day.
Canada day is the national day of Canada, a federal holiday celebrating the anniversary of the July 1, 1867, enactment of the British North America Act, 1867 (today called the Constitution Act, 1867), which united three colonies (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and the United Province of Canada) into a single country called Canada within the British Empire.
July 4 is US Independence Day
Independence Day in US of course, aka Fourth of July, is our federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, which was when independence got declared from the tyranny of Great Britain.
