Summary: "Empire Partnership" by John Wesley Dafoe is an address delivered during the Imperial Press Conference in Ottawa on August 6th, 1920. This historical account explores themes of imperial relations within the British Commonwealth during the early 20th century. The book likely discusses the shifts in perception regarding empire partnership, especially in the context of the aftermath of World War I and the evolving dynamics between Britain and its dominions, emphasizing the notion of equality among nations. In this address, Dafoe reflects on the changing views of imperial unity and partnership, shifting from themes of defense to collaboration. He notes how the war has forged stronger bonds among the nations of the British Empire, transforming them into equal partners rather than mere colonies. Dafoe articulates the complexities of these relationships, highlighting past struggles for self-governance and the principles of consent that now define the union of these nations. He also posits the importance of acknowledging the equal status of the dominions as a necessary step towards future cooperation and understanding, ultimately envisioning a collaborative relationship that includes not only British nations but also the United States as a member of this broader Anglo-Saxon community.
