A declaration of independence is a document declaring the independence of one country from another, or the action of so declaring, performed by the use of such a document.
One of the most famous declarations of independence is that of the thirteen American colonies that went on to make up the United States of America, dated 1776, which declared independence from England. See United States Declaration of Independence.
