| Summary/Abstract |
The Round Table was founded in 1910 with the aim that it should eventually campaign for some form of imperial federation. Most historians have argued that it was doomed from the start, in particular because it was bound to run up against the rising tide of Dominion nationalism. This paper argues instead that the Round Table was divided internally over federation; that Dominion nationalism was but one of a number of problems confronting the organisation; but also that the key turning point, when federation became no longer a matter of 'practical politics', was World War I.
