That is, if a dominion decided so, the British Parliament couldn't legislate for that dominion. In fact, Canada was also an independent state from the 1930s. | |

Changed "Great Britain" in title (it's only one part of the country) to "Britain" (which *is* an acceptable synoynm for the United Kingdom)

| Jun 30, 2017 at 7:40 | comment | added | Relaxed | What Britain had to do with India might not be the right question to ask. She was forced to grant the US full independence but after that did everything she could to retain at least some influence against the push for self-rule from various parts of the empire. The Dominion status was invented as a compromise for Canada. The same thing happened to Ireland after its war of independence. It was untenable in the long run but the British were not prepared to “absolve” anyone from allegiance to the crown so easily. | |
