We consider the possibility that the Magellanic Clouds were the largestmembers of a group of dwarf galaxies that entered the Milky Way (MW) halo atlate times. Seven of the eleven brightest satellites of the MW may have beenpart of this system. The proximity of some dwarfs to the plane of the orbit ofthe Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) has been used to argue that they formed fromtidal debris from the LMC and Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Instead, they mayowe to the tidal breakup of the Magellanic Group. This can explain theassociation of many of the dwarf galaxies in the Local Group with the LMCsystem. It provides a mechanism for lighting up dwarf galaxies and reproducesthe bright end of the cumulative circular velocity distribution of thesatellites in the MW without invoking a stripping scenario for the subhalos tomatch the satellite distribution expected according to CDM theory. Finally, ourmodel predicts that other isolated dwarfs will be found to have companions.Evidence for this prediction is provided by nearby, recently discovered dwarfassociations.
