From what I have read, the Royal Newfoundland Regiment suffered staggering losses during WWI, including a 90% casual rate during the first day of the Battle of the Somme. Over the course of the war, over 1200 fatalities and over 2200 wounded were recorded, a heavy blow to a dominion with a low...

While I was talking about alternative history with an acquaintance today, I thought about what if something like the title happened. The first thing I thought about was that when British passed the BNA Act in1867, they opened their House of Common to Canadians(like today's Denmark's Folketing...

It's what it says on the tin. What would happen if the Dominion of Newfoundland never decided to join up with Canada and regained its parliamentary privileges? I know the final referendum on the matter had less than a 5% difference between restoration of the Newfoundlandic parliament or...

After the American Revolutionary War, the Spanish minister count Aranda, had proposed reforming the Spanish empire into a commonwealth by turning the colonies into three kingdom's with sons of Charles III being made kings. There are two candidates who come to mind, namely Infante's Gabriel and...

With a POD no earlier than 1800, is it possible for (most) of Britain's east and south African colonies and protectorates to be ruled under a single dominion, similar to Canada, Australia, and others? The "core" of this territory would cover modern-day South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho...
