Topic: Chanak Affair


  
  Chanak Affair
Chanak Affair, 1922, Prime Minister Mackenzie KING's first major foreign policy test.
British occupation troops were pinned down at Chanak (now Canakkale), a small seaport on the Dardanelles.
Chanak, however, was not a revolution in Canadian affairs: prime ministers since Macdonald had been reluctant to involve Canada in imperial skirmishes which did not threaten Britain itself.

 Stephen Jackson - UF Journal of Undergraduate Research Paper
Chanak troubled Mackenzie King deeply because it starkly revealed the logistical challenges of consultative empire.
But during the Chanak crisis the Foreign Office put the Dominions back in their pre-World War I position of having to accept a British fait accompli similar to the declarations of war in 1899 and 1914.
(21) Canada, as a result of this basic power calculation as well as a series of tension-increasing incidents such as Chanak throughout the early 1920’s, was instrumental in hastening the demise of consultative empire.

The British public was alarmed by the Chanak episode and the possibility of going to war again.
Lloyd George's rashness was a major factor in the calling of the Carlton Club meeting on 19 October 1922, where Conservative MPs decided that they would leave the coalition and fight the next general election as a single, united party.

 Chanak Crisis
Chanak was not viewed as a similar threat.
Chanak was also his first foreign policy crisis and occurred shortly after his novice government came to power.
As loyal as Canada was and would be (Meighen of the Conservatives, signalled the traditional "Ready, Aye Ready" to the British appeal), she was also steadily drifting towards a more independent status as was the balance of the Empire; independent in the sense that they would no longer respond without reservation to appeals from England.

 Mackenzie King and the Department of External Affairs - Mackenzie King - Exhibitions - Library and Archives Canada
The Department of External Affairs, established in 1909, gave advice to the prime minister, and also handled consular matters, such as issuing passports to Canadians for travelling abroad.
King's general principle with respect to external affairs was that Canada should play a gradually more autonomous role, while avoiding unnecessary international commitments.
When he handed over responsibility for External Affairs to others, he claimed to be glad to be relieved of the load, but, through most of his career, he had certainly enjoyed this part of his work.

 New Statesman - The end of the affair
Even if we accept the assumption that he had to commit himself to go to war alongside the Americans, his tactics and strategy were hopelessly flawed.
As Cook has pointed out, media excitement over the David Kelly affair, Alastair Campbell's frenetic battle with the BBC and the "over-egged" (or, conceivably, correctly egged) intelligence dossier of September 2002 missed the point.
The real question is not whether Downing Street did or did not give the public an exaggerated impression of the threat posed by Saddam Hussein's weaponry.

 globeandmail.com: Deploying our troops
Foreign affairs is one of the last and, certainly largest, areas of royal prerogative - the exercise of which rests mostly with the prime minister directly - that exists with little parliamentary oversight.
Royal prerogative governs the making of treaties, the declaration of war, the deployment of the Armed Forces, the recognition of foreign states and the accreditation and reception of diplomats.
Historians and political scientists will point out that this claim of parliamentary jurisdiction was simply a way of exerting Canadian sovereignty and keeping Canada out of the Chanak affair.

 The Importance of Educational Research In the Teaching of History
With Diamond Jubilee the students were therefore taught some of the more challenging content.
For example, the Chanak Affair of 1922 occurred, as the British became embroiled in a dispute with Turkey over control of the Dardenalles, a major international trade route.
