The Impact Of British Military On The War On Iraq

Australia’s involvement in WW2 was significant because of their alliances with Great Britain and the USA. Australia was very close to Britain mainly because they founded Australia and Australia considered them their ‘mother country’. Young men also thought that war was a very brave and noble thing to do, it also gave them the opportunities to meet new people and protect those that they loved back at home. Threats from overseas were a huge reason

Australia’s presence in the ANZUS and SEATO alliances has been very important in our past. The ANZUS agreement which involved Australia, New Zealand and The United States said that they would “*come to one another’s aid in the event of an attack*” (Retro Active 2 p166 paragraph 1). This was formed in 1951. The SEATO alliance (South-East Asia Collective Defense Treaty), which was the one our involvement in Vietnam was based around involved Australia, Britain, United States, France and New Zealand. They all agreed that they would help protect Laos, Cambodia,

On 25 April 1915, during the First World War, the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) landed on the Gallipoli peninsula as part of the 70,000 strong Anglo-French operation against Turkey to capture the Dardanelles. Over one million men were involved in the ill-fated Gallipoli campaign which lasted eight and a half months. Of the 44,070 soldiers who were killed during the campaign, 8,000 were Australian. It was the first time that Australians went into combat as Australians, giving Australia a sense of identity and a place in the world.

Australia is considered among important allies of United States. In the Vietnam war Australia sent a force of 50 000. Being situated in Southern Hemisphere of Southeast Asia, Australia has to face exceptional defense challenges much more than neighboring partner. Historically Australia seems to be willing to accept the major role in military interventions in the surrounding area as can be seen in East Timor.

During World War II, of the 7 million people who lived in Australia, 550 000 served overseas in the armed forces. While this was a high proportion of the population and they all fought bravely in battle, it still can not be said that their efforts made a significant contribution to the course and outcome of the war. In campaigns such as Tobruk and El Alamein in North Africa and, primarily, Papua New Guinea, the Australian troops gave a good account of themselves and made significant contributions to the battles in each of these areas. However, in comparison to battles in the European theatre of

At dawn of 19th August 1942, six thousand and one hundred Allied soldiers, of whom roughly

The troops were divided into two great combat regiments, Regimental Combat Team 1 with 3rd Battalion/ 1st Marines, 3rd Battalion/5th marines, Naval Mobile Construction Battalion, 4th and 23rd Seabees and the US Army 2nd Battalion /7th Cavalry. The other regiment, the Regimental Combat Team 7 included the 1st Battalion/ 8th marine, 1st Battalion /8th Marines and the US Army 2nd Battalion/ 2nd Infantry. Assisting in the assault 2000 Iraqi soldiers were incorporated, and with the order to surround the city to avoid bandits escape, the task was assigned to the 1st Battalion of the British 850 regiment, all supported by air raids and heavy artillery strikes over the city.

All the battles were in France and Belgium, and were once household names in Australia—Fromelles, The Somme, Bullecourt, Messines, Passchendaele and Villers-Bretonneux. ‘Of the more than 295,000 Australians who served between March 1916 and November 1918 in this theatre of war in the Australian Imperial Force (AIF), 46,000 lost their lives and more than

Nevertheless, the Australians pledged around 420,000 people to the Great war with around half of them becoming casualties. The Australians were a dominant force in WWI, specifically in the Western Front with over 290,000 people fighting in the Western Front at one point in their military involvement. This secondary source shows the grave at Polygon Wood, Polygon Wood was a military campaign in the Third Battle of Ypres. The British and Australian Campaign was of devastating effect with over 20,000 casualties and no ground was actually taken in the calamitous campaign. Thousands lost their lives and this source demonstrates the gravity of Australia’s actions and the sheer numbers and effort that Australia poured into a War that they would have no benefit from. Australians not only pledged time on the Western Front but many lost their lives, Australia not only contributed with the thousands of lives that they sacrificed for the greater good but also for saving lives of millions that they did not

Our world is a changing place; it's always developing new culture, looks, and history. As it changes, beliefs are lost and are not found again. Freedoms and rights are tested, and sometimes lost. The world is changing for the worse because hate and violence are on a social high as people are attacking each other powered by hate, discrimination and labeling are happening to people for what they are, not who they are.

Australia is a British settled colony; nevertheless, Australian forces have fought together with the United States military in every significant conflict since World War I.

Before America had separated from the British, the colonies suffered under a long despotic rule under the British crown. But, as many realize, it is difficult to stray from what one knows. People were reluctant to separate from the British. They were scared that their small section of land in North America wouldn’t flourish without help from the British, and for this reason, they did nothing when the British inflicted upon them a number of injustices, despite them knowing that what was happening was wrong. Other simply didn’t care. They weren’t affected directly, so they had no reason to separate. Others, the Tories, remained loyal to the government simply because they benefitted under their rule.

Throughout the 5th and 12th centuries military was heavily influenced in Britain. Multiple armies were created by many different groups of people. Many of those groups were to bring new religious practices into play, but either worked or failed greatly. Around the 5th and 6th centuries the Anglo-Saxon religion slowly diverted from Germany, to what is now called Britain. When the Roman armies pulled away from Britain to get back to their home country, which was crumbling down to the ground. Around that same time more people were coming back into Britain to settle down. Different groups of people from Denmark were easing their way into Britain, but another which was the Anglo-Saxon people were coming into this new land. They made their over to

Time leading up to the start Iraq War, the United States had tried to remove or limit Saddam Hussein's power by supporting uprisings and rebellion by President George H. Bush, example of that is in “February 1991, as American forces were driving Saddam's troops out of Kuwait” (Barry Lando / AlterNet, 2007). Later; President Bill Clinton ordered air strikes against Iraq because it refused to cooperate with United Nations (U.N.) weapons inspectors. ("Clinton orders air attack on Iraq"). So; we have been in conflicts with Iraq for years before the events of 9/11/2001. Reasons stemmed mainly from suspicions of Bin Laden along with Al Qaeda been linked to Iraq. The Iraq War and the overall objective, and Consequences would be put troops in Iraq and cost the nation financially along with the ultimate American sacrifice.
