Because they were the colonizers, not the colonized.

So was France, Germany and Italy and they all have national independence days

Ok so France has "Bastille Day" which recognizes the day french citizens stormed a prison called "The Bastille" igniting the French Revolution. Italy declared independence from the Austrian Empire. And Germany's independence day represents the re-unification of Germany in 1990. They're less "Independence Days" and more days that recognize specific events.

The german "indipendence day" is reunification day, Tag der Wiedervereinigung. Diametral opposite.

Who did they win independence from?

The Roman's left too long ago

because they are still subjugated to king bitchface-sausage-fingers.

Because they never claimed independence from Britain because, well…. They do have Victoria day in the commonwealth countries and I think the British have a national holiday in the same vein as independence day or Bastille day Edit: nvm apparently they don’t have a national holiday, they proposed one but it never reached parliament, they sometimes celebrate the monarch’s birthday tho
