July 4 1776 is what many people think, but we actually officially became independent on July 8 1776. Many people thought that the 8th should be Independence Day, as I do.
I would add that the Continental Congress declaredindependence from Great Britain in 1776. The American Colonies were a huge source of revenue to Britain, and they weren't about to let an asset like that slip through their grasp. So, the Colonies would have to fight for their independence against one of the strongest armies in the world (no easy task, mind you). It wasn't until September 3rd, 1783 when the Treaty of Paris was signed by Britain and the United States that independence was acknolwledged. So, maybe we ought to write Congress and petition for September 3rd to be acknowledged as our trueIndependence Day? Just a thought. I don't think it'd happen anyhow as we already have the 4th of July set aside and it would confuse many folks.
There is no independent nation within the United States. However, there are territories like Puerto Rico and Guam that have a degree of self-governance but are not fully independent nations. Additionally, Native American tribes have a unique sovereign status, allowing them some autonomy while still being subject to U.S. federal law.
In 1848, the only country in the Americas that was fully independent was the United States. Most of the continent was either under colonial rule or in the process of seeking independence. While several Latin American countries had achieved independence by then, most were still grappling with political instability and the aftermath of colonial rule. Thus, the U.S. stood out as the sole established independent nation in that context.
Heligoland became independent after the Treaty of Paris in 1890, when it was ceded to Germany by the United Kingdom in exchange for territorial concessions in Africa. However, Heligoland was not fully independent in the modern sense, as it remained a part of Germany. It was later occupied by British forces during World War II and returned to Germany in 1952, solidifying its status as part of the German state.
It was a militant Nation fully engaged in WWII.
All of the above. By the way, the Soviet Union does not exist anymore; it has been replaced by the Commonwealth of Independent States, and some countries that were part of the Soviet Union have since become fully independent.
In what year did Madagascar become fully independent from France?
Nicaragua declared its independence from Spain on September 15, 1821, along with several other Central American countries. However, it was not until 1838 that Nicaragua fully asserted its independence from the United Provinces of Central America, which had formed after the initial declaration. This marked the beginning of its status as a sovereign nation.
At about 3 weeks, they will be fully weaned/independent.
A dominion is a semi-autonomous political entity that is part of a larger sovereign state, often with some degree of self-governance but still subject to the authority of the parent nation. Unlike a fully independent nation, which has complete control over its internal and external affairs, a dominion may rely on the larger state for certain matters like defense and foreign policy. Historically, dominions were often former colonies that retained ties to the British Empire while gaining a level of autonomy. In contrast, a fully independent nation operates independently and is recognized as such in the international community.
Depends. Say financial dependance for example: If you were fully dependent on a man and you were without a job, then by getting a job, you would be independent on yourself, therefore, no longer fully dependent on a man.
In the relatively brief interval between the American Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, Britain had not fully accepted that America had become an independent nation rather than a British colony, and it seized American sailors in order to impress them (or draft them, as we would say in more modern language) into the British navy, which was always in need of more sailors.

Yes, it is fully independent.
That would be the Statute of Westminster, a result of the Balfour Declaration of 1926.
