Although he had changed his decision, Prime Minister Baldwin's choice was also deliberate.
Why support Australasia's inland expansion in the Persian Gulf rather than their scheming in El Salvador?
Though it appeared that the Persian Gulf's interior had many large-scale Indigenous peoples, posing a greater challenge than El Salvador with its population of just over a million.
But the question is, who cares about the interests of the Indigenous Peoples? Compared with the interests of the Indigenous Peoples, the interests of El Salvador, a recognized independent country, are greater. For Australasia to occupy El Salvador without the support of the British Empire would be somewhat difficult.
The Prime Minister's change of attitude pleased everyone and nearly secured unanimous Cabinet approval for the policy towards Australasia.
With Australasia's support, everything that followed would be easy.
