I think there were a number of factors, but I'm sure that was certainly one of them.

BTW, it was a bit more than 100 years before Australia became the country it is today, and even after we became an independant nation, we kept and still have pretty strong ties to 'the old country'. Much more so than you lot in the US I think.

We've only been self governing for a bit over 100 years actually.
