The fifth Imperial conference, hosted by King-Emperor George V in London, concludes on November 23, 1926. The Imperial Conference brought together the prime ministers of the Dominions of the British Empire and declared the Dominions as equal, autonomous communities within the British Empire, officially adopting the term "Commonwealth" to describe the community.
The conclusions arrived at the conference laid the foundation for the Statute of Westminster in 1931, which legislated the principles of dominion autonomy and granted legislative independence. No centralized constitution: Rejected the idea of a single, codified imperial constitution in favor of a more flexible arrangement.
