Saving the Empire!

So the consensus seems to be, that the only way to save the British Empire is by turning towards some form of Imperial British Federation and even then it seems as though it will only survive with UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand as member states .

Also there seems to be much debate as to whether South Africa would be able to become a candidate for the Imperial British Federation or whether the Afrikaaners would ensure that South Africa never voluntarily submits to the British and that it would rather go on its merry way, instituting Apartheid and generally mistreating its non-white citizenry.

Now I did find the idea of Hanover being able to save the empire, and interesting choice but since the poster didn’t really explain it in any detail, I’ll have to push it aside as being more in the realm of ASB.

Finally, there have been some requests for points of divergence, so therefore for those that want an established point to work from the challenges are as follows:

POD 1: 1900-Present

POD2: 1919-Present

POD3: 1946-Present

Also I want to give an honorable mention to the poster that brought up the Suez Crisis, since I think that though it wouldn’t have guaranteed the total survival of the empire, it may have at least staved off the “Winds of Change” until a few decades later.
