Do the British own British Columbia in Canada?
No, British Columbia is owned by Canada.
Was Canada part of great Britain in 1850?
No. It was still a British colony. Confederation was formalized in 1867, at which point Canada became the Dominion of Canada. While still a British possession, there was a move toward more independence, as the colonies were becoming very expensive to maintain for the British Crown. We had certain obligations to Britain, for instance, we had to go to war if they declared it. After World War I, Canada more or less gained complete independence from Britain, with one holdover, the British North America Act (in effect, the Canadian constitution), which remained a British act, and could only be modified by their parliament. In 1982, the Constitution was formally repatriated to Canada, at which point we had total independence to conduct our own affairs.
How can you characterize the colonists?
Colonists are those who are dependent or like to act superior. They use their colonies for business/trade or implant their own culture on them. For example, Britain colonized India, creating the British Raj. After this time, they had full control of their fabric factories and used them to have their own profit. They are dependent. Those who like to act superior colonized areas and try to force them their teachings, including religion. For example, Britain made India intake their culture, such as tea-time and Christianity.
Why did Britain make it easy for Canada and other dominions of the British empire to become more autonomous?
Because autonomy showed that countries do not gain anything from their colonies resources therefore britain did for their own v=benefit because they did't want to spend so much money on canada.
Why did Canadians win control of their government without going to war?
Most (all?) of the countries or colonies that formed the British Empire (of which Canada was one) did not need to go to war to obtain home rule/ independence. The British Empire was developed from a democratic country and when colonised people became educated enough ask for their own rule, Britain could hardly refuse. Canada was not completely independent from great Britain, but now a central government would run the country. Canadians would elect their own leaders.
