Empire Day was a celebration observed in various parts of the British Empire, primarily in the early to mid-20th century. It was established to promote a sense of unity and pride among the nations and territories under British rule. The day typically featured parades, speeches, and educational activities highlighting the achievements of the Empire. The observance of Empire Day often included discussions about the contributions of notable figures, such as Queen Victoria and Winston Churchill, as well as the importance of the British Commonwealth. Over time, the significance of Empire Day diminished, and it was eventually replaced by Commonwealth Day in many regions.
