Didn't most of the [[British Empire]] dissolve (or loosen) into a sort of [[commonwealth]] sometime during the period 1850 to 1960? I daresay the current flags of many of these former parts of the empire incorporate the [[Union Jack]] in their design. Let's learn more about this. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 13:24, 29 April 2009 (EDT)

:Aschlafly, I don't believe in Freud's theories, but I do believe in typos - thank you for hinting me to them. And I don't share your interest in Parthian shots. As the post of Ed Poor indicates, we all could learn more if there would be more interest in the ''message'' but the ''messenger''...
  −
:And what is the message? Your headline of this section asks the question ''Canada a colony during WWI?''.  I've added some details to the article [[history of Canada]] to help to answer your question. And what is the answer?
  −
:*Yes: ''colloquially'' speaking, Canada was a colony. But that's just imprecise...
  −
:*No: The British Empire consisted of the U.K., the self-governing dominions, the colonies, and India with its special status. The degree of self-government which Canada had achieved in 1914 doesn't seem to be fittingly described with the term ''colony''.
  −
:And why do I repeat in every single post the statement that ''Russia didn't win the Great War''? Because you never answered to my edit above: ''What land did Russia gain? What power? It became place of a civil war, and Poland defeated in the Battle of Warsaw in 1920! To be as specific as it seems to be necessary: Russia didn't gain power due to the Great War. Russia did lose land due to the Great War.''
  −
:And could you explain how  I ''misunderstand or overlook the meaning of the word "frontier"''? Thanks.
