'''Canada''', officially the '''Dominion of Canada''' (French: ''Dominion du Canada''), is a country in North America and the de facto leader of the [[Commonwealth]]. The collapse of the British Empire at the end of the [[World War II|Second World War]] has left Canada increasingly reliant on the [[United States of America|United States]] to its south.


Canada was formed in 1867 from the process known within Canada as Confederation when the colonies of Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia agreed to unite to form a single colony. It was initially under the suzerainty of the [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland|United Kingdom]], but since the Statute of Westminster in 1931, Canada has been de facto an independent country.
