Sydney Agreement

In 1919, following the Treaty of Dover and the surrender of the United Kingdom on December 21st, 1918, all British colonies in Africa and Asia were given to Germany. India and Africa soon fell under German occupation but Canada, Australia, and New Zealand resisted and on February 25th, 1919, delegates from all three nations met in Sydney, Australia to sign an agreement forming the Commonwealth League. The Commonwealth League was made to consist of the remaining Entente nations who would continue fighting the Central Powers after the war in Europe ended. In the treaty, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand all declared formal independence, reorganized their governments into American-style republics, and established the Commonwealth United Army. The CUA was a mix of Canadian, Australian, New Zealander, Indian, Malaysian, and South African soldiers who continued fighting for the Commonwealth against Germany.
