Summary Of The End Of Australia

The environment around us carries the scar caused by global warming. Precipitation has increased across the globe, which has consequently caused more frequent floods, an increase in sea levels, and a higher frequency of strong storms. Lakes are drying up, islands are virtually dropping into the ocean, and the polar ice caps are disappearing. The planet is truly in peril. This paper will focus on three regions of the Earth in particular: Antarctica, the Amazon Rainforest, and the Great Barrier Reef. More specifically, it will examine the extent of the impact that global warming has had on each region..

The European colonisation of Australia had severe and lasting effects on the Indigenous people. The loss of their land and their rights lead to a devastating loss in aboriginal culture, customs and beliefs. While many were massacred, the remaining Indigenous Australians suffered horrifically under the power of the Europeans. And this suffering would continue for generations to come.

Many historians disagree on which historical event was key in shaping the Australian identity. Two common answers are Federation, and the fall-out of World War One. Both events have had significant impact on the evolving identity of the Australian people. World War I was a military conflict that lasted for the four years between July 1914 and November 1918. World War One was a force of change due to the nature of Australia's involvement at home and in politics. Prime Minister Billy Hughes came to power just six months after the start of the war. This meant that as a politician, he held a significant sway with the Australian public. Both Hughes and the media influences at the time are key aspects of the Australian identity during the war, and

Emissions of CO2 was estimated around 130 million tonnes per year. The amount of emissions is account for around 25 percent of the total emissions in Australia. Environmentalists suggested that emissions from burning of coal and coalmine processing are substantially contributes to increase green house gas in the atmosphere that results in global warning. Importantly, the effect of climate change will have a great significance on Great Barrier Reef.

During World War II, which lasted from 1939 to 1945. Australia suffered many military threats. At the time heavily relying on their British allies however over the course of many significant battles such as the battle of Coral sea, the battle of Midway, the battle of Guadalcanal, the battle for northern Australia and most importantly the fall of Singapore. Left stranded and in desperate need of help Australia found themselves turning to the United States for support. Which is ultimately why the Australian and US alliance had its inception during World War II.

The statement ‘Developments in popular culture in post-war Australia and their impact on society were influenced in particular by American and British culture’, when taken in reference to the timeline lasting from the 1950’s to the present day, is extremely accurate. Not only did American and British influence affect the Australian lifestyle in the later half of the 20th century, in particular the 1970’s and 80’s; but the rise of developments such as the ‘World Wide Web’ and online ‘Social Networks’ from American origins in the 1990’s and the previous and current decades have had an extremely large influence on the popular culture of the modern nation today. Even before the lifting of the clouds of the Second Great War, Australia had been

World War Two began on 1st September 1939, and Australia entered as a way to show their commitment and loyalty to the mother country, Britain. International conflict played a major role in the war and this led to Australia being forced to make changes in society. What made these changes major were the long-term effects that occurred because of them. There were social, political and economic changes, as well as large shift in Australia’s identity. Due to the war, Identity in Australia changed significantly with America’s presence challenging the Australian culture in society. The war also changed the role of women in society by putting them in the workforce rather than their traditional role of being a nurturer, as well as bringing white

‘Australians at War’ a documentary made by the Australian War Memorial in Canberra designed to teach individuals on the involvement of ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) in World War 1. It follows why the notion of sending Australian troops to help the allied effort in war was widely supported and follows the ordeals of ANZAC troops through training in Egypt, being sent to Gallipoli as part of a horrendous tactical failure, the evacuation of ANZAC troops and the relocation of them to the Western Front. The episode used many primary sources such as first hand accounts of the soldiers who were present in Gallipoli, as well memories from those who were in Australia that faced the reality of the ‘home’ front.

Australia was first established as a Federation in 1910 while World War 1 started in 1914, so Australia was still an undeveloped and new nation. Geographically speaking Australia is located far away from other European countries meaning it was remote from the continuing conflicts in European countries long before the world war. Even though Australia wasn’t directly tangled in the encounters in Europe before the World War, they found themselves playing an important role. Australia was a nation of around four million people, which meant that there was around 820,000 men between 19 and 38 that had the potential to fight. They first aided England in the 1860s for New Zealand, in the Sudan 1885 during the Boer War. Since they have aided England before it was likely that it wouldn’t be a problem helping again.

Recent mood events such as extremely high temperatures and widespread drought have focused government activity and public attention on the impacts of climate modification in Australia. Despite a slight increase in overall rain in Australia, rainfall patterns are expected to be problematic, as rain has become heavier and infrequent, with little or no uptrend in rainfall in the Western Tableland and the Central Lowlands of Australia. At the same time, Australia continues to have the highest per capita greenhouse gas emissions. Temperatures in Australia have also boost dramatically since 1910 and nights have become heater

A warming ocean has already killed large chunks of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. On April 4, 2017, writer Eduardo Porter for The New York Times published an article called, “To Curb Global Warming, Science Fiction May Become Fact,” intended for the reader of the New York Times. The editorial talks about how if we don’t take action as soon as possible, climate change could indeed become a new thing. Scientist all over the world are discovering many areas throughout the planet that are increasing in temperature, and animals’ homes are being destroyed. The writer is able to create a better understanding on the dangers of a warming planet, by saying the earth is increasing in temperature all over the world, not only affecting different animals,

Climate change creates significant impacts in the Australian context: in considering sea level rise is one of the most critical condition and as per the IPCC report, in 2100 it will increase by79 centimeters (Department of climate change, 2009). Further, it enhances natural hazards affect on the coastal region as flood, inundation, erosion, and storm surges, which will be a significant threat to the coastal community (Button et al.2013). In addition, sea level rise causes a significant change to beaches, coral reefs, estuaries, wetlands and low-lying islands.

Australia had always acknowledge Britain as the “mother country”. When Britain declared war on Germany for invading Poland, Australia was announced to be at war by the former Prime Minister, Gordon Menzies. “Fellow Australians, it is my melancholy duty to inform you officially that, in consequence of the persistence of Germany in her invasion of Poland, Great Britain has declared war upon her, and that, as a result, Australia is also at war.”

The average temperature of the earth rises every year due to the emission of greenhouse gases like CO2 to the atmosphere for example by burning fossil fuels or by operating factory farming, particularly by cow farms which produce enormous quantities of methane. The world's increased temperature ensure that the poles start to melt and associated with that the sea level rises and the salinity of the ocean decreases, droughts and storms occur more frequent and more intense. These changes of course have an impact on the Great Barrier Reef.

Australasia, following the loss of the thirteen colonies, it was Britain’s most important oversea territory. The Australian colonies became successful traders of gold and wool.
