That moment, we argue, was a challenging and transformative time for the Empire. While British authorities successfully answered some of the post-war tests they faced, such as demobilisation, repatriation, and fighting the widespread effects of the Spanish flu, the racial, social, political and economic hallmarks of their imperialism set the scene for a wide range of expressions of loyalties and disloyalties, and anticolonial movements. The book documents and conceptualises this 1918-20 'moment' and its characteristics as a crucial three-year period of transformation for and within the Empire, examining these years for the significant shifts in the imperial relationship that occurred and as laying the foundation for later change in the imperial system. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $z Great Britain $x Influence. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Commonwealth countries $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y George V, 1910-1936. 700 1 $a Fathi Romain, $e editor. 700 1 $a Hutchison Margaret, $e editor. 700 1 $a Varnava Andrekos, $e editor. 700 1 $a Walsh J.
