Canada increased its autonomy through a series of legislative acts and constitutional changes, most notably the Statute of Westminster in 1931, which granted full legislative independence from the UK. This was further solidified by the patriation of the Constitution in 1982, which included the Constitution Act and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, allowing Canada to amend its own constitution without British approval. These steps marked a significant shift towards self-governance and the establishment of a distinct Canadian identity.

What happened to Canada when the british left it?

When Britain gradually relinquished control over Canada in the 19th and early 20th centuries, Canada transitioned from a British colony to a self-governing dominion. The British North America Act of 1867 marked a significant milestone, uniting the provinces into the Dominion of Canada. Over time, Canada gained greater autonomy, culminating in the Statute of Westminster in 1931, which allowed Canada to make its own laws without British interference. Ultimately, Canada's full sovereignty was realized with the patriation of its Constitution in 1982.

Why did Canada feel they deserved complete autonomy?

What do you mean? Canada is already a sovereign nation. Canada is already an independent nation. Perhaps you're asking why does Quebec want their independence? The answer to that is rather thorny, to say the least. The generally accepted rational is that the province of Quebec are predominantly French-speaking Canadians (or French-Canadians) who can't/don't identify themselves as being Canadian as much as they are French.

Did Canada have autonomy at the start of World War 1?

Depending on how one defines "autonomy" the answer will vary. With respect to political autonomy, in 1867, Canada was styled a separate "dominion" with authority to establish its own representative government. In 1931, Canada was given power to pass and amend its own laws without final approval of the British Parliament, except for those laws which were "Constitutional" in character. In 1982, Canada was given power to amend its own Constitution, thus divesting Britain of any remaining legislative authority over Canada.
