Being the home of the British fleet in the central Mediterranean, the Axis powers tried repeatedly to either destroy or control the islands. This devastated Malta, but the island never gave in. Their stern resistance against the Nazis and Fascist Italians was rewarded by the British, who both gave the people of Malta the George Cross and promised to give the Maltese people independence. A small amount of local rule was given in 1947, though it wasn’t until 21 September 1964 that full independence came. Malta became a republic a decade later and British forces finally left the country after the defense treaty expired on 31 March 1979, which is celebrated as Freedom Day.
