    Freedom Day (Jum il--aelsien) (31 March, Malta)
    "On 31 March 1979 the last British Forces left Malta. For the first time
    in a millennium, Malta was no longer a military base of a foreign power
    and it became independent de facto as well as de jure."

    =================
    Oh, there's also
    Greek Independence Day (25 March, Greece and Cyprus)
    It's also the Feast of the Annunciation, said to have been chosen by the revolutionaries of 1821 as the start of their struggle against Turkish rule. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebration_of_the_Greek_Revolution

    Nowruz (Iranian New Year) (20 March) also celebrated in many
    neighbouring and diasporic countries
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nowruz

    I had this down in my list as being celebrated in Albania, and I
    wondered why?
    It's complicated...
