How did Canada step toward independence?
【正确答案】：Canada rallied to Britain’s side during World War Ⅰ （1914-1918）. More than 600, 000 Canadians fought with the Allies, and more than 60, 000 died. Canada’s role in the war helped increase its reputation with the rest of the world. Canada sent its own representatives to the 1919 Peace Conference and joined the League of Nations.
After World War I Canada became increasingly independent of British control. In 1931 Britain officially granted self-government to Canada. Canada kept ties to Britain, however. In September 1939, for example, the Canadian legislature voted for Canada to enter World War Ⅱ（1939-1945） alongside Britain.
In 1982 the British Parliament replaced the British North America Act with a new Canadian constitution. The act gave Canada total control over its constitution and cut the legal ties between Canada and Britain. Canada was finally a fully independent nation.
