Wikipedia: Canadian Confederation (French: Confédération canadienne) was the process by which the federal Dominion of Canada was formed, officially starting on July 1, 1867. On that day, three British colonies were formed into four Canadian provinces. The British Province of Canada was divided into the new Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec, and two other British colonies, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, also became provinces of Canada.
