Canada is wrong.
Full independence did not happen untill the 1980s.

1867 is confederation for Canada but I would argue after the Statute of Westminister in 1931 as that gave Canada the option of staying neutral in WWII had they seriously wanted to do so.

Canada’s independence was a slow process, and though you could theoretically put it anywhere between 1867 and 1982, the typical place it is actually put, academically, is not at the moment of Confederation, but at the moment the Statute of Westminster was adopted, in 1931.

Nobody actually knows when exactly Canada *gained independence* because it was a long process. However, 1931 is more accepted

Canada technically still hasn’t gotten full independence yet since it’s still under British monarchy

About 95% of the green landmass was ‘owned’ by Spain, France or Russia. In a very messy and piecemeal process it was annexed to the paltry Atlantic coast.
And let’s not forget the thousands of small states that had been independent for thousands of years before the jolly green giant and its predecessors took over by death, disease and manifest destiny.

There’s an alternate timeline line out there that has Brazil never gaining independence but gradually absorbing Portugal.

Bermuda isn’t independent. It’s a British Overseas Territory.

Whoa, Canada waited till 1982? That’s some serious patience!

Why is Bermuda included as having an independence? Did I miss something?

It always amazes me that French Guiana still exists, no other mainland colony like that still exists, colonies/territories are all just islands nowadays.
