Celebration

Hi.

The fact that Johnson had taken on the Academies of Europe and matched them (everyone knew that forty French academics had taken forty years to produce the first French national dictionary) was cause for much English celebration.

What other word/phrase could be used instead of the underlined part with the closest meaning?
