Summary

The book closes by looking at the British Empire’s path through the 1920s, including belated attempts at integrating India into the empire’s new military and diplomatic institutions. It reflects on several British colonies entering the international community as states, culminating in the Statute of Westminster in 1931 that renounced Britain’s legislative supremacy over their parliaments.
