List of Dominions[edit]

Why is Malta listed as a "Dominion" as in only achieved independence in 1964, so belongs to the later period where there is so much debate about "Commonwealth Realms"?

Also with regard to Newfoundland, I understand that it was entitled to the title Dominion from the 1907 Colonial Conference, but did not officially adopt the title until 1917 Colonial Conference. The 1907 Conference described the members as "Dominions" instead of colonies. New Zealand adopted the title later that year (by Royal Decree) as listed, but there is nothing to show that Newfoundland made such a change. Interestingly the 1907 conference also included all four South African provinces, so that within 5 years of the end of the Boer War, the two Boer states of Transvaal and the Orange Free State were treated by the British government as "Dominions". However the South African provinces never assumed such separate status prior to the Union of South Africa 1910. 09:46, 11 September 2015 (UTC)~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noel Ellis (talk • contribs)

Use of term 'Dominion' earlier in English history[edit]

The act integrating Wales into England in 1543 refers to the Dominion of Wales and His Majesty's other dominions - see a quote in

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_in_Wales_Acts_1535_and_1542#The_Acts_and_the_Welsh_language

and the term continued to be used until 1800 according this claim in Parliament

https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/commons/1934/nov/05/wales-title-of-dominion

so there's more history here than the article currently reflects. Ender's Shadow Snr (talk) 17:42, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

The Dominion of New England was established in an attempt to take away power form the New England Commonwealth colonies. Such as The Commonwealths of Massachusetts and Connecticut. Massachusetts still retains the name Commonwealth of Massachusetts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:6000:78CB:A300:6DC0:FB21:BD13:889C (talk) 02:53, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

Colonial Conference of 1907[edit]

"The assertiveness of the self-governing colonies was recognised in the Colonial Conference of 1907, which implicitly introduced the idea of the Dominion as a self-governing colony by referring to Canada and Australia as Dominions."

If they were already self-governing colonies, then the idea of the Dominion must have implicitly introduced them as being something more than that. Any thoughts? Chocoholic2017 (talk) 03:29, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
