“…While, as Donal Lowry has pointed out, the faith and ethnicity of Irish Catholic Australians constituted no barrier to their embrace of "empire loyalism," Lang's religious views were central first to his approach to separation and then to his republicanism. 67 The influence of loyalist mythology can be discerned in the bitter election campaigns fought in Port Phillip-campaigns coloured by sectarianism and during which the issue of separation came to the fore. Port Phillip gained representation in the blended thirty-six-member legislative council established at Sydney in 1842.…”

“…For this reason, the secret behind the imperial success of the British monarchy has been identified as the establishing of «conflicting and contradictory allegiances across the empire». 100 With regard to the empires, the monarchy proved to be an institution that was endowed with the appropriate historical experience for dominion over territories that could not be administered centrally. The comparative research carried out on this topic up to now has been concentrated on Europe and the European empires in South America.…”

Monarchy – Global. Monarchical Self-Assertion in a Republican World In 1793, the French republic saw the guillotining of two royal heads. In 1934, Winston Churchill spoke of the «holocaust of crowns» within his lifetime. Today, the British Queen presides over the Commonwealth, which comprises mostly republics. At the same time, there have been calls a return of the kings to republics with respect to Africa. How is this astonishing self-assertion of the institutional monarchy to be explained, and why has the antagonism between the monarchy and the republic disappeared? This will be discussed in a paper through a global perspective. Churchill was convinced: «No institution pays such dividends as the monarchy. » What dividends were earned, and for whom? What has the global presence of European states meant for the institution of the monarchy in Europe, in imperial spaces, and in decolonisation? In order to be able to analyse this issue, our study questions the legitimacy which had been both accorded to and claimed by the institution monarchy. Does monarchical legitimacy differ in Europe, Asia and Africa? Why did monarchies survived while other states and empires were created and then destroyed in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries? The study places three areas in the center of our consideration: the role of the monarchy as the emotional center of the nation and the empire; monarchy as a polycentric rule; and lastly, monarchy as the institutionalisation of permanence in change. Finally, the study will discuss how a comparative assessment and review of the performances by the monarchy and the republic might look.

“…Above all, the vast majority were loyal citizens, who were eager to assimilate to a Canadian way of life and adopt the trappings of Britishness. 111 In the end, arguments over racial purity, ethnicity and the need to augment Canada's AngloSaxon character failed to supplant the fundamental economic reality in 1920s Canada:…”
