The independence processes of the United States and Canada were very different from each other.
The United States obtained its independence from Great Britain after a war of independence that lasted from 1775 to 1783. That is, it was a violent and convulsive process, in which both nations faced each other to settle their directly opposed interests.
On the other hand, Canada walked its way towards independence in a peaceful way. In 1867 the Constitution Act was approved, which created the Dominion of Canada, with an autonomous government but subject to the laws of the British Parliament. Years later, in 1931, the Statute of Westminster was approved, establishing the legislative equality of the British and Canadian Parliament. Finally, in 1982, the Constitution of Canada eliminated dependence on the British Parliament.
