In 1815\, the Kandyan Kingdom was ceded\, bringing the entire island under British rule for the first time until 1948. Under the British\, the island was renamed Ceylon\, and plantations of tea\, coffee\, and rubber reshaped the economy. \nBy the early 20th century\, Sri Lankans (Ceylonese) began demanding reforms. Movements for greater political participation and representation gained strength. \nIn 1931\, Ceylon received universal suffrage under the Donoughmore Constitution\, one of the first Asian countries to grant this right. \nAfter World War II\, the global wave of decolonization strengthened independence movements. In 1947\, the British Parliament passed the Ceylon Independence Act. \nOn February 4\, 1948\, Ceylon officially became a self-governing Dominion within the British Commonwealth. Don Stephen Senanayake became the first Prime Minister. \nIn 1972\, Ceylon became a republic\, officially adopting the name Sri Lanka.
