The British Commonwealth Of Nations

The British Commonwealth of Nations: A Speech Made by General Smuts (1917) is a historical book written by Jan Christiaan Smuts. The book is a transcript of a speech given by Smuts, a South African statesman and military leader, in 1917. In the speech, Smuts discusses the idea of a British Commonwealth of Nations, a concept that would unite the various territories and colonies of the British Empire under a commonwealth. He argues that such a union would be beneficial for all parties involved, promoting economic growth, political stability, and cultural exchange. Smuts also discusses the role of the British Empire in the First World War, and the importance of working together to achieve victory. The book provides an insightful look into the political and social climate of the early 20th century, and the ideas and aspirations of one of the most influential figures of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
