Collection: Establishing the Post-War International Order, 1944–1961 Volumes Documents relating to colonialism and decolonisation, inc. Dominions Office & Commonwealth Relations Office, 1945-1961
After the Second World War, the colonial empires of European nations entered a period of steady but inexorable decline. This volume contains records from four British government departments—the Dominions Office, Commonwealth Relations Office, Foreign Office, and Treasury—that put this decline and its implications for the post-war order in context.
The records, which cover the period 1945–1961, largely focus on India, the Dominions (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Newfoundland, and South Africa), and the Commonwealth.

We were unable to find any results for your requested terms. Whilst we try our best to extract as much usable and searchable as possible, our primary resource collections have varying levels of available metadata and searchable OCR'd text depending on the nature of the document; please bear this in mind when searching, especially when looking for older resources. We recommend trying the following:
- Try a different combination of terms and queries to try and match your result.
- Use 'themes' or 'subjects' directly in your search query, e.g. "19th century colonial administration Africa" - 'Africa' being the broad subject.
- Use a broader search and use the filters on the left-hand side to refine your results.
