In 1939 Hitler went to war not just with Great Britain; he also
went to war with the whole of the British Empire, the greatest
empire that there had ever been. In the years since 1945 that
empire has disappeared, and the crucial fact that the British
Empire fought together as a whole during the war has been
forgotten. All the parts of the empire joined the struggle and were
involved in it from the beginning, undergoing huge changes and
sometimes suffering great losses as a result. The war in the
desert, the defence of Malta and the Malayan campaign, and the
contribution of the empire as a whole in terms of supplies,
communications and troops, all reflect the strategic importance of
Britain's imperial status. Men and women not only from Australia,
New Zealand and India but from many parts of Africa and the Middle
East all played their part. Winston Churchill saw the war
throughout in imperial terms. The British Empire and the Second
World War emphasises a central fact about the Second World War that
is often forgotten.
