Abstract
Australian, New Zealand and Indian historians writing about war in the past century have made a crucial nexus between imperial relations and national consciousness. Constitutionally, their history has been literally post-colonial: since 1901 in the case of Australia, 1910 for New Zealand and 1947 for India. Their awareness as nations in historical writing, however, has been and largely remains figuratively post-colonial. All three nations have used their military history as a way of disengaging from the imperial past, a point established as a generalization in relation to New Zealand and especially India and tested in this chapter with detailed reference to Australia.
