		The problem first appeared during the 1908 London Games, when Austria threatened to abstain from the Games in the event that Bohemia and Hungary were accepted to participate in the Olympics as independent states, and eventually forced their withdrawal from the Games.
		Internal problems of the Austro-Hungarian Empire which first appeared prior to the previous WC held in Vienna and were caused by the establishment of separate Hungarian and Bohemian Federations, would've been further aggravated in the lead up to this WC by the establishment of another two Federations within Habsburg Empire.
		British teams would definitely have used their most recent (probably 1925, since the 1926 edition did not finish until April 17th) Home Championship to determine two (most likely) qualifiers, so Scotland and England, having finished top two, would've been in these WC finals.

		From 1930 to 1950 the Games were known as the British Empire Games, then the British Empire and Commonwealth Games until 1962.
		Look, the Commonwealth Games are important in terms of boosting the economy of the host city and giving countries and athletes you would never hear of their fifteen minutes of fame, but they just don't rate in terms of being a meaningful sporting event.
		I see that the British Islands are up there with Australia in the medal table, they are both on or around 95 medals total (as of beginning of the day) So we no longer need to feel ashamed when compared to our colony of convicts.
