The involvement and sacrifice of Commonwealth troops has always been a significant part of the history and memorial of WW1. In fact, there's a strong argument that WW1 gave some Commonwealth countries a casting role on the world stage that they lacked prior to the war. What isn't often acknowledged is that WW1 was a racist endeavour as this article is stating. And that's primarily because it's a ridiculous assertion. Race had nothing to do with it.
