Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book reviews the evolution of British Imperialism from the perspective of its founding principles to its logical endpoint in the idea of Britannic Alliance. The author traces the history of competing ideas that emerged during the late 19th and early 20th century to solve the political problem at the heart of the British Empire: how to adapt its governance while maintaining an extensive global domain. At the core of this question was the tension between British ascendancy and the growing national consciousness in the self-governing colonies, which desired not just autonomy but genuine participation in shaping the Empire's direction. The book charts a course across the major conferences and policy developments that defined the relationship between Britain and the future members of the Commonwealth. It shows how even the most radical proposals, such as Imperial Federation, often failed due to the conflicting interests and opposing views of the various stakeholders. By framing the arguments for and against Britannic Alliance in the context of these historical tensions, this book elucidates the complex forces that underlay the evolution of one of the largest and most enduring empires in history.
