In what sense, if any, is this true? Politically, it seems to have been understood that dominion status was in fact independence, subject to a few anomalies. Thus the dominions made separate declarations of war in 1914. Legally, there was no difference between a colony and a dominion until the Statute of Westminster 1931.

Maps
