Independence Movement Day marks March 1, 1919, when Korean independence fighters organized nationwide resistance to Japanese colonial rule in 33 cities — suppressed with 7,512 arrests and 553 deaths, but galvanizing Korean nationalism. Baby Sleep Day was established by the Pediatric Sleep Council to raise awareness for infant sleep — its role in brain development, immune function, and behavioral regulation. Baba Marta is the Bulgarian spring tradition on March 1 in which martenitsa — red and white tasseled ornaments — are worn until the first stork of spring appears. International Martisor is the Romanian and Moldovan tradition on March 1 in which red and white cord ornaments are given as gifts symbolizing luck, health, and the coming of spring.
