Which country was given semi-independence by British in 1922 under its own king

1 answer

In 1922, Ireland was granted semi-independence from British rule with the establishment of the Irish Free State. The Irish Free State was essentially a self-governing dominion within the British Empire, and it had its own government and parliament. The country was headed by a Governor-General on behalf of the British monarch, but the Irish Free State operated with a significant degree of autonomy. The first President of the Executive Council, which was the head of the government, was W.T. Cosgrave. Ireland's full independence was later achieved with the adoption of the Republic of Ireland Act in 1948.
