That was interesting. And as a Swiss I can smile about this date... 1st of August in 1291 is a myth that only hillbillys and idiots still believe ;)

What's defined as independence? I would argue that Canada didn't become independent until 11 December 1931. Some would even go as far as to say 29 March 1982.

Same with Ireland, I would argue that it was actually 1922...

No, Easter Rising of 1916 gave Ireland independence.

Haha. In some ways, they're still technically ruled by the Queen. Not that she has any real power of course.

I was wondering about this, too. How can you be independent when officially your head of state is still the queen of England? That's like saying you're moving out of your parents house and going to live on your own but really you just move all your stuff to the room over the garage.

tough when most of these countries have had so many different colonies/territories. The dates help. I managed to score 93rd percentile. With another 90 seconds I probably could have gotten them all.
