Very interesting! I’d dispute some of his dates, though. Why does Canada get its “independence” in 1931 (with the statute of Westminster, I presume), but Ireland gets its independence in 1916? Just because they declared it doesn’t make it so. Even the Anglo-Irish treaty of 1922 produced a dominion of the British Empire, legally parallel to Canada, South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia (and why does that last country get its independence in the 1940s?).
