مشترکالمنافع
The new nation-states of India, Pakistan and Ceylon now joined Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa in the British Commonwealth, an association of independent countries which were not only staunch allies but large markets for British overseas investment and exports of goods (indeed, at the start of the decade exports to and imports from the Com- monwealth accounted for almost one half of all British trade).
From the British per- spective the most alarming aspect of this was the attitude of the USA and of Commonwealth nations.
rst of these was the British Commonwealth and Empire.
At the time of the Suez crisis, however, the only members of the British Commonwealth to support Britain were Australia and New Zealand.
As John Young has commented, it revealed that Commonwealth countries could no longer be relied on to follow a British lead.
