Imperial Federation

Imperial Federation was a proposed political system aimed at uniting the British Empire's nations under a single governing body. This idea emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, reflecting the desire for greater cooperation among Britain and its colonies, such as Canada, Australia, and India. Advocates believed that a federal structure could strengthen ties, enhance defense, and streamline governance. However, the concept faced challenges due to differing national interests, local governance preferences, and the complexities of empire. Ultimately, the idea of a single federal government for the entire Empire was never realized.
