Talk:Decolonization of the Americas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

By decolonize I would understand people leaving/abandoning the Americas. Would decolonialization not be more appropriate? --128.176.76.97 18:21, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

I see what you mean. I am neutral towards this proposed move since there also is Decolonization of Africa --Astrokey44 04:48, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Map error

I don't think it is correct to say that Alaska was decolonized by 1799. It was part of Russia, a European power, until 1867, at which time it became part of a country with its capital in the Americas. To anyone who is good with manipulating images: could the color of Alaska be changed? Thanks. Ufwuct 19:08, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

alright i have changed it to reflect this and other colonies too, such as New Spain, Spanish Florida, Mosquito Coast and French Louisiana, with the US part of Oregon Country grey as never been colonised. I think this is correct now --Astrokey44 00:55, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Canadian map error

As noted in the article, Canadian foreign policy was directed from London until 1931; the map color should indicate this year, properly, as constituting Canadian independence from the UK. 24.131.238.145 17:37, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Greenland

What about Greenland?, this article lacks of information about Greenlands current status. JC Febraury 26 2007, 8:15 (PST)
