That looks like it might be Malaysia.
You're getting a bit closer but look closer....

You mean that it is Singapore? The secession of Singapore from Malaysia?
You got that right! The actual story behind the scenes is actually quite sad. +1 rep

I don't really know the story. It just seemed obvious to me based on the flag. It is weird that Singapore is its own country. But part of Borneo is Malaysia, even though it makes more sense for the country to only include Malaya and Singapore.
What is this event? Answer within 48 hours or the child explodes.

It is the reaction to the Franco-Prussian War. I don't know if it is in Breslau, I thought it was in Paris.
Oh well, minor issue. Your turn!
EDIT:
Here is a clue since more than 24 hours have passed: This treaty was signed between the Maori and the British.

Really, no one going to take a guess at this?
A clue: This treaty was signed in the early-mid 19th century.

It was a pretty good hint. I just don't think that anyone wants to guess at this point.
I'll give one last one (Anyone can put up a new one if no one answers by Friday):
Here are the main articles of the treaty:
- Article one of the Māori text grants governance rights to the Crown while the English text cedes "all rights and powers of sovereignty" to the Crown.
- Article two of the Māori text establishes that Māori will retain full chieftainship over their lands, villages and all their treasures while the English text establishes the continued ownership of the Māori over their lands and establishes the exclusive right of pre-emption of the Crown.
- Article three gives Māori people full rights and protections as British subjects.
It should be pretty obvious now...especally to the Kiwis in the crowd....

Since noone took a crack at this for a while, I'll give it here:
This was the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi which is the founding document of New Zealand.It was drafted with the intention of establishing a British Governor of New Zealand, recognising Māori ownership of their lands, forests and other possessions, and giving Māori the rights of British subjects
