Confederation
Allied sovereign states
Confederation with a capital C typically refers to specific historical alliances.
In American history, it denotes the period under the Articles of Confederation (1781-1789) or the Confederate States during the Civil War.
In Canadian history, Confederation refers to the 1867 union of provinces that formed the Dominion of Canada: Confederation Day is celebrated on July 1st. (Lowercase confederation is any such alliance.)
