The 15th of Menachem Av follows the greatest Yerida (descent) and therefore ushers in the greatest Aliya. Thus, the great celebration. When one is coerced into doing Mitzvos (and the Rambam, of course, explains that this is a real mitzva, because this is the true desire of a Yid [and even a gentile in his 7 Mitzvos]) this is the greatest Yerida and brings the greatest Aliya!
