Republic Day of the Maldives
While the island nation is a haven for the best resorts in Maldives for couples and families, standing out as one of the most sought-after holiday destinations in the world, the historical significance of the Maldives is worth exploring while vacationing in lodgings like OBLU SELECT LOBIGILI. On the 11th of November 2022, the proud citizens of the country celebrated Republic Day, an event to mark the nation’s transition from a monarchy to a republic.
While the island was under the sovereignty of the Sultan for many years, in 1887, it became a protectorate of the British Empire. However, while the Sultans reigned, they converted into a republic for the first time in 1953, due to the failure of appointing a new sultanate. However, the monarchy was restored once again in 1954, only to become a republic once again on the 11th of November 1968.
