Conference of Colonial Premiers

The Conference of Colonial Premiers was a series of meetings held mainly in the 1930s and 1940s, where leaders of various British colonies and dominions gathered to discuss governance and cooperation. These conferences aimed to promote dialogue between Britain and its colonies, address common interests, and gradually increase local self-governance. They laid groundwork for more autonomous political relationships within the British Empire, eventually contributing to the transition toward independence for many nations. The conferences reflected a move towards greater collaboration and recognition of the colonies' evolving political statuses.
