Malaysia

The 11 states of Malaya, under British protection, were united as the Malayan Union in April 1946. It became known as the Federation of Malaya in February 1948, and achieved independence on 31 August 1957. Malaysia was established on 16 September 1963 when the Federation of Malaya was joined by the British colonies of Sabah (North Borneo) and Sarawak and the internally self-governing state of Singapore. Singapore left the federation in August 1965, reducing the number of Malaysia's States to 13.
