November 8- National Liberation Day (Dita e Çlirimit Kombëtar)
November 8 marks an important day in the history of Albania, as it is the National Liberation Day, also known as Dita e Çlirimit Kombëtar. This day holds great significance for the Albanian people, as it commemorates the liberation of their country from German and Italian occupation during World War II. It also marks the end of nearly 500 years of Ottoman rule in Albania.
On November 8, 1944, the National Liberation Army, led by Enver Hoxha, liberated the capital city of Tirana from German forces.
The liberation of Tirana was a major turning point in the Albanian resistance against the occupation, as it gave hope and inspiration to the rest of the country.
The National Liberation Army, also known as the Partisans, was formed in 1942 to fight against the Italian and German forces.
By the end of 1944, the Partisans had liberated most of Albania and had established a provisional government.
The National Liberation Day is a symbol of the courage, resilience, and determination of the Albanian people to fight for their freedom and independence.

As part of the celebrations, many historical sites related to the liberation struggle, such as the National Museum of History and Bunker 1944, are also visited by people.
Through its rich history and tradition, the National Liberation Day is an integral part of the Albanian culture and identity.
