National Day of Mauritania, marked on November 28th, is the country's Independence Day from France on November 28th 1960.
Mauritania came under French control in the late 19th century, during the so-called 'scramble for Africa'. Mauritania was part of French West Africa from 1920, first as a protectorate and then as a colony.
After the end of the World War II, French territories in the region became increasingly autonomous. Mauritania gained full independence from France on November 28th 1960.
