      On 1 July, 1867, the British North America Act officially proclaimed Canadian confederation, forming a federal dominion comprising Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. This meant that, although not under the direct rule of the British Empire, they still weren’t fully independent either. Australia federated into the Commonwealth of Australia on 1 January, 1901, marking our independence, whilst New Zealand became a dominion in 1907, giving them self-governing status.
      In the video, the Statue of Westminster, which was passed on 11 December, 1931, was used as the date for all three countries’ independence. This act removed Britain’s authority to control the dominions and made them fully independent, sovereign nations.

      From my quick search about it, no that didn't happen.
      After Egypt gained independence the British still had a lot of control on the government and Egypt was kinda only "partially-independent" but when Egypt gained actual full independence, Britain wanted to take the Suez canal by war so three nations formed an alliance, Britain, France and Israel. But after a week or so from the start of this war they returned defeated and couldn't take anything.
      So Sinai have always been a part of Egypt since hundreds of years ago and even during it's occupation and after it's independence.
      Except for the six years between 1967 and 1973 when Israel took over it but Egypt regained it.
      So yeah Sinai was never exclusively a part of the British empire. But again I didn't do a thorough research I just looked around in Wikipedia so I might be mistaken.

    World War I
    Over 1 million Indian troops took part in World War I for British,out of which 75k died. Fought against German Empire. After winning WWI ,Indians thought British might give them Independence. British had no interest to leave whatsoever.
    *World War II*
    Over 2.5 million British Indian troops fought all over the world & 87k died.
    Indian National Congress criticized Nazi Germany, but they would not fight them until India is Independent. the British Viceroy, Lord Linlithgow declared India's entry into the War without consulting prominent Indian Congress leaders who were just elected in previous elections. To that INC started Quit India Movement, refusing co-operation with the then Govt. of British India. Around 60k INC leaders were arrested.
    Rebellion
    Subhas Chandra Bose (also called Netaji) prominent leader of Congress, volunteered to help Germany and Japan; he said Britain's opposition to Nazism and Fascism was "hypocrisy" since it was itself violating human rights and denying individual liberties in India. Moreover, he argued that it was not Germany and Japan but the British Raj which was the enemy, since the British were over-exploiting Indian resources for War purposes.. He broke with Congress and tried to form a military alliance with Germany or Japan to gain independence. Bose, with the assistance of Germany, formed the Indian from Indian students in Axis occupied Europe and Indian Army prisoners of war. Axis allied Indian troops were fighting with British Indian troops in British Burma & North-East India.
    Bengal Famine 1943
    ever-increasing financial and resource needs due to the war, caused a massive famine where 3 million people died. Japanese invasion of Burma cut off food and other essential supplies to the region, Churchill diverted all food to Europe. Amery, the Indian secretary of state, and Archibald Wavell, the Viceroy of India, to stop exports of food from Bengal in order that it might be used for famine relief. Winston Churchill, then prime minister, dismissed these requests in a fashion that Amery regarded as "Hitler-like," by asking why, if the famine was so horrible, Gandhi had not yet died of starvation.
    The Allied Nations won WWII, around 30 British Indians were awarded Victoria Cross . British still had no interest to leave India. However, faced with the possibility of a massive civil unrest and a mutiny in the Indian Army, the British officials decided to release the prisoners-of-war, in addition the event became a turning point to expedite the process of transformation of power and independence of India.

      @Florez hmm we still are
      Before British Invasion, that region had almost *25%* share of world's gdp and when they left ,it was just *4%* . Obviously, *$45* trillion was leached out by British , makes sense . They left us with a poverty rate of *65%* and percapita income of just *$85* . Now the Poverty rate fell to *21%* . On the otherhand, there is no improvement in per capita income( *$2300* ) .

    The United Kingdom did not come into existence until 1801 (Act of Union created the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland), so the USA gained independence from Britain, not the UK. Great video though.
