My Empire happened in 2010.
Federation took place in Australia in 1901, and that was carried out with a great deal of pomp and ceremony. Australia remained a Colony of the British Empire until 1911. Australia became a Dominion of the British Empire in 1911 proclaimed by His Majesty King George V, and remained a Dominion of the British Empire until 1919. Australia did not achieve sovereign independent nationhood status until 1919 following the end of WW1. Federation was not stopped: it actually did happen. This brought about the birth of the Commonwealth Parliament of Australia remaining still firmly under British law with limited self governance until 1919.
