Collection: Establishing the Post-War International Order, 1944–1961 Volumes Documents relating to colonialism and decolonisation, inc. Dominions Office & Commonwealth Relations Office, 1945-1961
After the Second World War, the colonial empires of European nations entered a period of steady but inexorable decline. This volume contains records from four British government departments—the Dominions Office, Commonwealth Relations Office, Foreign Office, and Treasury—that put this decline and its implications for the post-war order in context.
The records, which cover the period 1945–1961, largely focus on India, the Dominions (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Newfoundland, and South Africa), and the Commonwealth.
