About this title

Synopsis

Rethinking empire and unity in the dawn of the 20th century. This address analyzes how Greater Britain relates its colonies to the Mother Country, and what unity could mean for education, policy, and commerce.

In clear, accessible prose, it traces the growth of imperialism from education and public awareness to practical steps like inter-colonial cooperation, transport links, and shared communications. It highlights historic conferences, trade preferences, and military and naval cooperation as evidence of a developing imperial framework.

• Why imperial unity mattered to policymakers and the public in 1900


• Key milestones that shaped collaboration among Britain, Canada, Australasia, and South Africa


• Practical aims such as the Pacific cable, railways, and the Imperial Penny Post


• Debates on funding defense and sharing global responsibilities within the empire

Ideal for readers of history and political thought who want a window into early discussions about empire, loyalty, and regional partnership within a global framework.
