I disputed your claim that Canada was granted independence because of the War of Independence. It may well have been a factor, but the Dominion of Canada was not created until nearly 100 years following the War and Canada was not fully independent until ~ 200 years later, though for all practical purposes they exercised their autonomy as early as 1931. These time frames don't imply causation to me.
For clarification, in case it is needed, I am not interested in browbeating anyone. I enjoy historical discussions, but I'm willing to let well enough alone if need be.
