The Dominican Republic's Independence Day (February 27, from Haiti in 1844) is distinct from most Latin American independence days, which mark separation from Spain - the country's history involves independence from a neighboring state rather than a European colonizer. Restoration Day (August 16) marks the 1863 restoration of sovereignty after a brief return to Spanish rule.
