The piece surveys dominion willingness to support Britain in a new war. It cites Canada as historically pivotal, notes Australia New Zealand and India would supply troops, Ireland would stay neutral, and South Africa hints at participation. It recalls Canada’s independence, and explains public sentiment has shifted toward backing Britain if the war aligns with dominion interests.
