Why did canada leave the british empire?
Many people believed that they didn't want to be governed by a country an ocean away, and it took many days to be able to send messages, so there is very low communication, and they wanted to trade to a place nearby. Then, on 1867, 4 colonies, Canada West, Canada East, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick joined together to make the dominion of Canada, and then, the other colonies, like British Columbia, joined later on.
When did Canada approve a new constitution for a federal system of government?
I think you're referring to Confederation, which was Canada's first formal constitution and forged the original 4 provinces. If so, it came into effect July 1, 1867: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_North_America_Acts It's possible you might also be referring to 1982, when Canada officially severed all ties from Britain and introduced the Bill of Rights to the constitution: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_Act%2C_1982
First Canadian province?
Quebec, Ontario, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick entered Confederation on the same date, July 1st, 1867. That is why Canada Day is celebrated on July 1st every year.
What is the date that the 13 colonies cease to exist?
July 4, 1776
Why did Canada join with Britain in ww1-ww2?
when the first WW began in August 1914, Germany invaded Belgium in order to grt to France. The British Empire (which included Canada) had promised to support Belgiums neutrality, and declared war on Germany. Canada at the time only had a population of 7.88 million and was not yet a trully independant country. Britans declaration of war on 4 August 1914 meant that Canada and the reat of Britans colonies were attomatically at war.
