While celebrated primarily in the United States, the Fourth of July holiday is recognized throughout the world. The day commemorates the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The document, signed by representatives of the thirteen colonies of the day, declared independence from British rule. Today, one of the biggest national holidays on the U.S. calendar is celebrated with picnics, parades, hot dogs, baseball games, and of course fireworks. Happy Birthday America!
