It became part of the British Empire through several wars and treaties before eventually achieving independence in 1867 when three separate colonies formed a new country now known as Canada. Since then, it has grown into one of the most prosperous countries in the world with its own distinct culture and identity. The nation is also noted for its many contributions to science, literature, sports, politics, business and entertainment.
