Democratic Imperialism

Democratic Imperialism "We are ready, our sons are ready, each of us is ready to give all that he can to be one with the Empire and to defend our country. We pray that you will tell King George these feelings that are in our hearts." These are the words of the Senior Chief of Central Kavirondo in the Colony of Kenya. Declarations such as this have come from every quarter of the Colonial Empire — from native princes and European communities, from tribal councils and labour leaders, from Africa and Asia, the Mediterranean and the West Indies, from the Islands of the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans.
