Asked by bakeemmal

Answer (3)

During the period of 1867, a Confederation of six colonies of the British North American joined to form a new country, Canada. Then gradually, the military, financial and administrative support from the British slowly reduced as the new formed country took charge and more responsibility in the control of its future and destiny. This was strengthened by the fact that Canada had sent many troops to fight with Britain and its participation in the First World War...dis was how they both got their independence

The United States gained independence through revolution, declaring it in 1776 and fighting a war against Britain, while Canada achieved independence more gradually through constitutional means, becoming a Dominion in 1867 and fully independent by 1931.
