Dominion of Canada (Canadian Republic)

The Dominion of Canada was the de facto name of Canada between 1867 and 1920. Although self-governing for nearly all internal affairs, Canada during this time was still a part of the British Empire and as such, its foreign affairs were controlled almost entirely from London. When the United Kingdom declared war on Germany in 1914, The Canada and the other Dominions (Australia, New Zealand, Newfoundland, and South Africa) were automatically at war.
