I've been looking at the results of the 1948 referendum in Newfoundland and it seems it was actually pretty close call. However, given the poor economical state of Newfoundland at the time, I'm not sure it could survive on its own. Could it? Or would Newfoundland collapse and be absorbed by either Canada or the US?

BTW, would the lack of WWII improve the chances for an independent Newfoundland or not?
