Note
One form does two jobs: the simple past (the government proclaimed independence) and the participle after have or be (independence was proclaimed). The participle also carries an older, now historical use, in which something proclaimed was brought by official proclamation within the scope of emergency powers. There the object is not the message announced but the thing placed under those powers, a dated sense to recognize in older texts.
