Présentation de l'éditeur
The opening years of the present century saw the end of one chapter in the history of theB ritish Empire. With the Peace of Vereeniging the era of expansion was definitely closed. Henceforth no extension of territory is either to be expected or desired. When the American Colonies were lost, not from lack of good intentions, but from failure to appreciate and sympathise with colonial sentiment and aspirations, it was still open to our forefathers to create a new empire inC anada, A frica, and A ustralia. To-day no such opportunity exists, or can ever exist again. The world is occupied. The vast blanks on the maps of our youth have been explored and opened up to civilisation. The territory comprised in them has been apportioned among the Great Powers. There are no ownerless lands to which we or others can look as the sphere of future activity, or as compensation for the loss of a province or a dominion.
