This book studies the relations between Britain and Canada from the
end of the First World War to the Imperial Conference of 1926. It
is concerned principally with the problems of imperial co-operation
and consultation in foreign affairs and defence policy, and with
the pressures developing out of these problems to reformulate the
constitutional relations of Britain and her dominions. In the
course of examining Canadian attempts to redefine empire
commonwealth relationships this book also throws fresh light on the
evolution of British attitudes to the dominions during these years.
Often there were serious policy disagreements in Whitehall - the
Colonial Office preferring to conciliate, the Foreign Office to
challenge the overseas governments - and Dr Wigley, with close
attention to official and private papers, shows clearly that
developments in this period owed far more to Britain's own
responses and priorities than has been previously realised.
