Taxation With Representation

Eh, British control over the dominions' foreign policies only existed up to the point that the dominions wanted it. The colonies had no problem impsoing tariffs on British goods, and in telling Britain "nah, we don't wanna die for your empire." As the Chanak Crisis illustrates, and the conscription crisis in Canada.
Wow! Never heard of it! Thank you very much for that.
 
Another example would be the Canadian parliament's c. 1913 rejection of a bill financing 3 Queen Elizabeth class battleships.
