Last change to this file was controversial/contested changes that broadened the definition of "gained independence" in order to serve user's agenda as shown by countries like South Korea (never ruled by UK) now being marked on the map.

So I added them all. I also corrected some arrow placements, as well as the Dominican flag and the year for St Vincent independence, and backdated Zimbabwe's independence to the date of the Rhodesian UDI.
