I can do Australia and New Zealand but not Canada

Australia was made up of separate colonies scattered around the continent. Britain agreed to Australian demands for self-rule. The colonies united into the independent Commonwealth of Australia. Britain annexed New Zealand. As colonists poured in, the took more and more land, leading to fierce wars with Maori. Many Maori died. New Zealanders wanted self-rule and won independence.
