Yeah, this notion of what was and what wasn't an established country is misleading. Many nations didn't exist before World War 2 and many more didn't exist prior to World War 1. Doesn't mean that the people there don't have a right to self determination. Would you be willing to give up Alberta to a group of foreigners with all it's natural beauty, resources, and everything you've grown accustomed to love because Alberta was never an established country? Technically it never was, but there are definitely Albertans living here that call it home.
