After the war ended, The Austrian National Day was occupied by four nations – the Soviet Union, the United States, Great Britain, and France(Allied forces). They divided Austria into 4 regions. Vienna was also divided into four zones. “Allied Control Council” jointly administered the historic central district.

A national day is a day on which celebrations mark the nationhood of a nation or state. It may be the date of independence, of becoming a republic, or a significant date for a patron saint or a ruler (such as a birthday, accession, or removal). The national day is often a public holiday. Many countries have more than one national day. Denmark and the United Kingdom are the two countries that do not have designated national days
