Malaysia emerged as a nation through a complex history of colonialism and unification. Initially part of various Malay sultanates, the region came under British colonial rule in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Following World War II and the push for independence, the Federation of Malaya was established in 1948. Malaysia officially gained independence from British rule on August 31, 1957, and later expanded to include Sabah and Sarawak in 1963, forming the modern nation of Malaysia.
