Canada's refusal during a 1922 Turkish standoff

Dan Friedman cites a 1922 standoff with Turkey as an early test of whether Britain could assume dominion support. Canada declined to join the mobilisation, a decision he does not condemn but describes as a shock to British expectations. He also warns that he cannot recall every detail of the crisis, so the passage works as an illustration of Canadian autonomy rather than a complete account of the episode. The example sharpens the imperial-defence dilemma: stronger dominions could contribute more forces, but they also expected a greater say in when and where those forces served.
