Confederation of Canada

The Confederation of Canada refers to the process in 1867 when three British colonies—Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Ontario—joined together to form a single nation called Canada. This union created a federal system, sharing powers between the national government and provinces, and provided a unified defense and economic strategy. Over time, more regions joined, expanding Canada’s territory. The Confederation was a strategic move for economic stability, security, and self-governance, fostering cooperation among diverse regions while maintaining local authority.
