This book studies the evolution of the British Commonwealth before and after the First World War, arguing that the transformation of the self-governing colonies led by Canada into sovereign nations profoundly changed the structure of the Commonwealth. The author, a prominent British imperialist, contends that the Dominions could no longer be regarded as mere dependencies but must either become fully independent or enter into a genuine partnership with the United Kingdom that recognized their national status. The book examines the complexities of such a partnership, including the apportionment of war costs, the coordination of foreign policy, and the management of immigration, particularly from India. The author concludes that a true partnership is the only viable way to maintain the unity of the Commonwealth while respecting the autonomy of its member nations.
