7. How Have Australian Governments Responded to the Indigenous Population in Either the Nineteenth or the Twentieth Century?And4. How Has War Shaped Australia in the Twentieth Century?

The conflict has had a negative impact as Australians now regret what was done in the past since seeing the effects of the conflict between the Europeans and the

Australians should also commemorate Australia 's participation in the First World War because it reshaped our economic system. The Commonwealth of Australia was formed in 1901 and was still a young nation by the outbreak of war. Little more than a decade after Federation, new taxation laws were needed for the war. Federal income tax was then introduced in 1915 to fund Australia 's efforts and participation. Life proved difficult for the nation regarding resources and supplies. Resources were assigned to the war effort and necessities such as wool, wheat

Australia’s relationship with Britain during World War One is a large reason as to why there was a rush for young men to join the Australian Imperial Force. Many of the Australians in 1914 were of close British decent, they felt it was a duty and responsibility of theirs to help fight alongside Britain as not many people acknowledged Australia as a individual political entity. Others found that if they didn’t join the war effort that other countries would perceive Australia as a weak nation with cowardly men, defending their country’s honour, they enlisted also. One of Australia’s war time prime ministers, Andrew Fisher, created a saying, ‘… to the last man and last shilling.’ shows Australia’s devotion to the British Empire. Thus in summary shows that Australians rushed to enlist because of the devotion to Britain and on the thought of what other countries may think of Australia. (Skwirk

As the soldiers came home they encountered anti-war protesters. Although, protesting wasn’t always against them. Many people protested against the government telling them to bring the troops home and end the war for America. Even veterans and soldiers protested. Minorities believed that they had more of a chance of being drafted and began to oppose the war. As the peace movement began to take over-

Australia has been involve in many wars such as the Sudan war or World War 2. Australia has one of the most diverse cultures concentrated in a small region, this is due to many

Australia was influenced by the infrastructure that the free settlers made. The free settlers had contributed greatly to make cities in Australia. They made buildings, roads, hospitals and schools. An example of this are the roads and the old buildings of Sydney because the white free settlers had built it. We still have these roads and buildings and most of which we still use today. It shows us that the

SEATO is a treaty organization that was formed to promote an alliance between several countries throughout the world, including the US, Thailand, the Philippines and Britain. It identified any unlawful encroachment into SEATO territories as potential threats. SEATO contradicts the Geneva settlement by allocating Laos and Cambodia to Vietnam.

However, the costs of war were very damaging on the economy. In simple terms, the Anzac legend is the commemoration of the Anzac spirit, born and developed throughout the eight months on the battlefield of Gallipoli. The horrible situations, made the Anzacs strong and resilient, they had to rely upon mateship and each other to get through. Their larrikinism also helped to keep many in as good a mood as possible. Australia was very proud of their soldiers and aspired to be like them, this meant that soon the whole country adopted the qualities of the Anzac spirit and the building of a nation began. This nation was not the newly federated country that still was much divided into the different qualities, Gallipoli fixed that two. Because man from all different backgrounds and states fought together they were properly united and brought that attitude back home. The Anzac legend has had a positive impact, defining what it means to be Australian, however how did Gallipoli an WW1 impact on Australia socially and economically. The failed Gallipoli campaign mean that bonds with Britain deteriorated, due to poor British leaderships, and the superiority that that showed to Australians. By leaving the influence of Britain the nation was shaped more as an individual country which allowed them to impress on an international stage. Other than the Anzac legend, positive societal effects include; new industries with more jobs were developed, new political groups and trade unions were created, a strong military tradition was established, chemical and electrical industries were formed and women gained a higher role in society – this was the first war they could help out by encouraging men to enlist, being nurses or taking over as factory workers. Negatives include; the deaths left a large dent in an already small population, violence increased, there was

The sacrifice of their life for the greater good for our Mother Country is something Australia and Britain will eternally be grateful for. Back in 1914 Australia’s population was fewer than 5 million, from that 5 million 416,809 men enlisted to be apart of the War. Australia was a small country with a population of less than 5 million, 416,809 was a huge chunk of our population to go to War. These men that enlisted were willing going to sacrifice their lives to protect their fellow Australians back home and at Gallipoli.

Throughout the long history of the Australian colony, it experienced great imperialism, exploration, conquest, and postcolonialism, revolution, conflict, trade, human and environmental change, and the evolution of a progressive nation through colonialism. In the effect of imperialism, exploration, conquest, and postcolonialism, Australia has faced many difficulties, but established a secure foundation that has not broken throughout the rebellions and wars that have plagued Australian history. Although the Australian revolution withheld many casualties, it is one of the most important events in their history, as it united the republicans and aboriginals to fight as one. Conflict was a battle Australia

Australian history is very similar to the United States’. From the formations of the countries to wars, the countries are tied together in more ways than one can count. When looking deeper into the history of the countries, there are a few main connections that stand out.

Modern Australia has a million stories that belong to the Aboriginal people who discovered and settled it, the explorers, sailors and navigators who mapped it and the waves of 19th and 20th century migrants who built it. All these people have

Australia became a colonised continent when Captain Cook discovered the large Island in the early 1770’s. The Great Britain sailed some of their civilians to dominate Australia and make it a part of their colonies. Both Australia and Britain united amiably and continued to strive strongly for another a hundred of years. Australia and Britain’s relationship is still important and has been strengthened through the development of British institutions in Australia; trade and security; both share the same culture; derived from shared history, constitutions are similar as both Australia and Britain have the same constitutional monarch, exchange of foreign policy, both have Common Law system and both countries are a Commonwealth nation. However, Australia’s relationship with Britain became strained after WW2 when Britain refused to assist Australia from the Japanese invasion, causing Australia to seek security support from America.

Since its days as a British colony Australia has developed a complex national culture with immigrants from many parts of the world as well as an indigenous Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population. The strong sense of societal and historical distinctiveness among the different states and territories has developed into subcultural diversity based on geographic regions.

Before 1915 at the outbreak of the First World War Australia was widely considered as just a colony of the British Empire. The heroism, courage and ‘mateship’ portrayed by the ANZACS at Gallipoli has since become a symbol of nationhood of Australia. From this time other countries respected Australian soldiers as a ‘force to be reckoned with’/ Politicians have frequently referred to what it means to be Australian was ‘written in blood’ at ANZAC Cove. Every year special remembrance services are held at ANZAC Cove to remember the soldiers who gave their lives there.
