Barbara Tuchman says otherwise and notes that St. Eustasius was a pivotal event of the revolution. It sent shockwaves through Europe and also provoked several British acts of retaliation against the Dutch and against the island.
Whatever the case may be, establishing nationhood is by no means a clear cut concept of diplomatic recognition. That is why I asked you what date you give for the U.S. if not July 4th and also presumably why you have yet to give a straight answer to that question.
When is the Confederacy date of independence anyway?
There is no one day as the states seceded individually on different days over a period of several months. Some of the ex CSA states do mark their Confederate History holidays on or about their dates of secession.

What no national day of celebration to honor the day of the birthday of the great Confederacy recognized by the Vatican and the Duchy of something?
LOL!
