In 1867, the provinces that did not join Confederation were British Columbia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, and the Northwest Territories. British Columbia was concerned about its geographical isolation and the lack of infrastructure, while Prince Edward Island hesitated due to financial concerns and the potential loss of its autonomy. Newfoundland opted out for similar reasons, preferring to maintain its independence and economic control. The Northwest Territories, largely unsettled and sparsely populated, were not yet ready for self-governance or inclusion in Confederation.
In 1867, Canada was established as a federation comprising four provinces: Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. This confederation marked the beginning of Canada as a unified nation, though it initially did not include all territories and provinces that would later join. The territories, including areas like the Northwest Territories and Yukon, were not part of Canada at the time; they were largely under the control of the Hudson's Bay Company and the British Crown. Over the following decades, Canada expanded to include these regions and other provinces.

After gaining independence in 1910, control over South Africa was primarily claimed by the Union of South Africa's white minority government, which was dominated by the Afrikaner and British communities. The Union was established as a dominion within the British Empire, but power remained largely in the hands of white South Africans, excluding the majority black population from political representation and rights. The system of racial segregation that would later evolve into apartheid began to take shape during this period.
Canada gains oil largely through the prairies, meaning the provinces of Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Manitoba.
Singapore, being in such a good location, was perfect for a trading port. The British believed they would benefit largely from having a trading port in that side of the world, as well as hoping to have a naval base there.
