1867 Conference

The 1867 Conference, held in Canada, was a meeting where representatives from the British North American colonies discussed forming a unified country. They aimed to create a federal government that would balance local autonomy with national unity. This conference laid the groundwork for the British North America Act, which officially established the Dominion of Canada on July 1, 1867. Essentially, it was the step that transformed a collection of separate colonies into a single, self-governing nation within the British Empire.
