| Zusammenfassung: | This detailed study not only examines the dominions' attempts to meet the daunting challenges of the post-war world, but also the political manoeuvres and economic initiatives which formed the basis of a new period in Anglo-dominion relations. Soldier settlement was seen as the economic cornerstone of a new and dynamic post-war society. The participation of British veterans provided the foundation for the more ambitious empire migration strategy developed by the imperial architect, Leo Amery Drawing together previously untapped primary sources, this study explores important social and economic aspects of the transition of Anglo-dominion relations between the onset of World War I and the beginning of the Great Depression. This book will be essential reading for both specialist and undergraduates studying the history of the British Empire, in particular Anglo-dominion relations |
| Abstract: | The resettlement and rehabilitation of the British Empire's servicemen and women after World War I presented post-war administrations with a host of acute social, political and economic problems. One of the more expensive solutions advanced by reconstruction planners was the resettlement of returning veterans on the land |
