wow that is great and I was wondering in this timeline does a substantial part of the Empire remain and is their any chance of a federal empire
The British Government was finding that it was going to have to spend a lot of money over the next decade to catch up in the required modernization.
Luckily Britain in this Time line had not had to spend all of the capital that it had in OTL. Britain had seen that Russia was producing all too many new weapons and was willing to sell them to anyone for cash.

Why Burma independant? Because, if India and malaya are still colonies ( maybe with autonomy ), then why Burma independent?
Is Burma dominion?
A decision was made by the cabinet to grant Burma independence. It was thus granted Dominion status.
Malaya was not granted independence do to too many internal problems.The Uprising of the late 1940's required the use of a lot of military force. It was also found that if the country was granted independence that that would result in an ongoing insurgency.
While Singapore also remained a crown colony it was allowed self rule with Great Britain retaining control of Foreign Policy and Defense.

Yes, but Burma also has many internal problems and a very complicated ethnic composition.
True, but the British government decided to grant independence anyway. It was latter to be the subject of a Parliamentary inquiry after the Burmese government collapsed. The end result was a discussion among the Commonwealth on whether it was in the best interest of everyone to intervene or to allow things to sort themselves out. But I am getting ahead of myself and what the decision was made..
The Royal Navy decided to modernize some its newer light cruisers that had been built during the tlate 1940's to eary 1950's. Here is the HMS Tiger.
With the retirement of the HMS Vanguard only months away it will be the last warship capable of providing fire support should British forces have to be landed.
