The Seventh Dominion

By: Wedgwood, Josiah C.

"The Seventh Dominin" is an influential political work by Josiah C. Wedgwood that examines the future of the British Empire and the strategic role of Palestine. Published in 1928, the book outlines a bold proposal for Palestine to be recognized as a self-governing "Seventh Dominion" within the British Commonwealth, alongside established dominions like Canada and South Africa. Wedgwood, a prominent British politician, argues that such an arrangement would provide a secure and democratic foundation for a Jewish national home while strengthening the integrity of the British imperial system.

The text explores the intersections of Zionism, international diplomacy, and colonial policy, offering a unique perspective on the geopolitical tensions of the early 20th century. Wedgwood provides a detailed defense of Jewish settlement, viewing it as a catalyst for progress and a vital component of British Mediterranean strategy. As a historical document, "The Seventh Dominin" provides deep insight into the debates surrounding the British Mandate and the visionary political thought that shaped the modern Middle East. This work remains a significant resource for readers interested in the history of the Commonwealth, political theory, and the origins of contemporary regional conflicts.
