Quite a list! At least one important omission. You've left off Ireland (proclaimed 1916, declared 1919, treaty 1921 - so I suppose 1921 is the date to give).

Ireland! Also there are some more marginal cases similar in some ways to Yemen - British Somaliland, British Cameroons, Newfoundland - where independence involved joining either already independent units or union with another decolonising power's holding in the area.

I think your source has some problems. Ireland, as others have mentioned. Papua New Guinea also comes to mind.

Ireland has been added. Thanks for reminding me, this is my first quiz after my summer break so I am a bit rusty :)
