Trinidad
and Tobago is a dual-island Caribbean nation near Venezuela, in North America.
The Trinidad
and Tobago Independence Day is marked on August 31 every year as a
day to commemorate the freedom of the nation. The southernmost Caribbean nation
gained Independence from the United Kingdom on August
31, 1962. At midnight on 30th August, 1962, the Union Jack (British flag) was
lowered and the Trinidad and Tobago flag was raised for the first time. Bells
tolled and sirens rang out to herald the birth of the newly independent nation.
