Canada didn't decome independent in the 1800s- it took over a hundred years (1867-1982). But how could that be shown here?
I agree The Canada Act was not passed until 1982 according to the Canada wiki. -- SJ3000 ( talk) 14:46, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
first of all i do see that there is some detail for instance i know for a fact that Canada was not all independent in one single year that the last part was newfoundland and labrador and i looked at my grand fathers old randmacnally world atlas that was made in the 1940's during world war 2 it showed the world with 1938 boundaries and had a map of germany and showed that Austria was part of germany's territory and also showed the sudetenland as part of germany and chechoslovakia was all diffrent looking. and when i fliped to north america it showeed that canada as we know it today was not all politically united and that newfoundland was still owned by united kingdom directly not indirectly as a dominon as canada was. when i when to the gazateer at the end of the very thick world atlas it said that this territory was difinatly part of the UK not canda so i agree with the assesment of this part of canada not being independent with the rest of canada in 1867. but as for the rest of canada there needs to be more detail for instance how does the prince ruperts land aquisitions fit in and the slowly diminishing north west territories we should review the maps of the history of canada to make more asumptions on how this map should look.
I agree that canada did not become independent in the 1800's not in the least. it had self government but not independence. Independence as we know it today did not come atleast until the statue of Westminster in 1931 which organized the british empire into a new entitiy called the commonwealth of nations. from this point on no colony of the united kingdom under self rule was to be treated as a lesser partner to the united kingdom but instead a equal partner thus independent. as for the canada act of 1982 thats to be considered the final ratification of the statue of Westminster so from 1931 to 1982 canada was on there own and independent even though they themselves did not first accept it. i totally agree with User sj3000's notion that in the 1800's century there was no independence yet for canada so it should not be included in that color code at all 69.221.170.231 ( talk) 13:23, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
Panama, Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador formed in 1819 the Republic of Colombia or, as is called in history books, Great Colombia. Like most of Central America, Panama independized from Spain in 1821, while Venezuela, what today is Colombia and Ecuador did between 1819 and 1821. But in the map you are showing the date of Panama independence as the date of the separation from this failed country, the Great Colombia. But, in the case of Venezuela, Ecuador and the actual Colombia, you are showing the date of the Independence from Spain. The picture is wrong and needs to be corrected: or you use the date of independence from Spain for all Countries, or use the date of secession from the Great Colombia entity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.227.103.38 ( talk) 13:54, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
northern chile was part of peru and northernwestern argentina and north chile were part of bolivia during this period. i believe the borders of uruguay and paraguay at this time are also off, this map also ignored the territory of saint pierre & miquelon.

the america confrence of 1818 and 1819 between the USA, spain and the UK seems to be completely ignored the north and south boundrary is missing the detail of the red river territory this is what started the large boundary of the USA and canada and this boundary was finished in the 1840's with oregon territory. so showing oregon territory diffrent from the louisiana territyor is correct but red river lands were not louisianna purchace lands —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.51.212.6 ( talk) 00:33, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

I've updated a newer version of the map, incorporating the following changes mostly identified from this talkpage:

Thankyou so much for Listening to my comments about the red river terrotory and how thats not the same as louisianna territory. i really enjoyed that you included all of the Non-Independent nations. i know that there land mass are not as large as the black dots you used but personally i dont care thats not the point the point is its better to have then shown in some form rather then not at all so also great work on showing all current day colonies. also whats the deal with canada? why did someone take the canada act of 1982 seriusly? personly im fully satisfied with your map changes thank you. 76.244.151.164 ( talk) 11:03, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
