If you mean a country rather than a nation (which is a people), then yes. In 1907 Newfoundland was made a dominion, along with New Zealand, giving it the same status as Canada, Australia and later South Africa. It had its own money, stamps and a national anthem by 'Jerusalem' composer Hubert Parry.
However during the 1920s Newfoundland had huge economic problems which it could not solve (arising partly from the cost of WW1) and it reverted to British rule, at the request of the Nfld government. Therefore it became a British colony once again until 1949, when it became a province of Canada following a referendum. I think after WW2 Britain had enough economic problems of its own that it wanted to be rid of responsibility for Newfoundland. One of the other options in the referendum had been joining the USA.
So yes, it was an independent country, but for less than 30 years. |

It is a "state" but a Canadian province. The article below explains it all. |

I don't think so,I think it was always under British control like Canada, but it used to be distinct from Canada and became part of Canada later. |

No. Until 1949 it was part of England. Joey Smallwood et al led the way for Newfoundland to become part of Canada as the last joing province in 1949. Joey Smallwood was the last "father of confederation" |
