America's

America will be celebrating its 250th birthday on July 4, 2026. This Semiquincentennial is a major milestone in our country and is a time to enjoy our country from coast to coast.
What's That Big Word?
Semiquincentennial means the 250th birthday. You can also call it a Sestercentennial or Quarter Millennial. Yeah, those some big words.

How Old?
While July 4, 1776 will mark the 250th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, we thought it would be fun to show how young our great nation is compared to some other countries:

Morocco - 788
-
Ethiopia - 900
-
South Sudan - 2011
-
Haiti - 1804
-
People's Republic of China - 1600 BC
