Independence Day of Bolivia

On August 6, the Plurinational State of Bolivia celebrates Independence Day, in commemoration of the Declaration of the Law of Independence, a document that ended Spanish rule and proclaimed the "Republic of Bolívar."

This event not only honors the liberators Simón Bolívar and Antonio José de Sucre but also all the heroes known as the "guerrillas of independence."

The country, initially named "Republic of Bolivar" in honor of the historical figure, later became known as the "Bolivian Republic" until, in 2008, it officially adopted the name "Plurinational State of Bolivia." The country now celebrates 195 years of independence.
