Military history of Australia during World War I

World War II is argumentatively one of the largest events in war history. World War II changed that world and everyone who lived during those six years. Many people believe that Adolf Hitler was the central cause for the war, however, it is important to understand that there are many other causes. These include: Treaty of Versailles, Fascism, Hitler and the Nazi party, the Great Depression, and appeasement. It would be extremely difficult to place blame on only one specific person or event for World

History Term 4: ANZAC Research Assignment Australia participated in of one of the greatest global wars in history, World War 1, as a part of the Allied Forces. This war was also believed to be, at the time, the war to end all wars. It started on the 28th of July 1914 and was triggered by the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, the Archduke of Austria. On the 25th of April 1915, the British Empire sent the Australian and New Zealand Army Corp to Gallipoli in an invasion where the young soldiers were

friends after school or on the weekends after an exhausting footy game? Both examples are something that all Australians do frequently, as it is part of an aspect of the culture of Australia. This aspect is mateship, something of which involves the creation of strong bonds with people that you can rely on and form during school life. Being a mate is more than just a friend, it is a relationship between people that have shared experiences, mutual respect and unconditional assistance. Usually, mateships

Gallipoli, born during fierce battle in 1915. ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corporation) troops established a reputation in the world, through qualities of strength and bravery, when faced by an unimaginable sense of adversity. In fact, it is much more than that, the legend of these men who endured so much has given something which Australians can be proud of. The Gallipoli landings, prior to dawn on the 25th April 1915, were one of the first opportunities for Australia, as a new nation

A few days ago, I arrived in Sydney, Australia, to promote Amir Amirani's documentary film "We Are Many," and also for a series of speaking engagements with unions, environmental groups, public health organizations, community antiwar activists and cinephiles. Once I settled in and caught up with some friends, I eventually picked up a copy of "The Sydney Morning Herald," Australia's longest running newspaper.

Consequently, it can be argued that the mistakes and inadequacies in Japanese pre-war planning were the

In this section I will be detailing and comparing the relationships between China-Japan, China-Australia, and China-Venezuela. I am first going to start with the relationship between China and Japan. I will begin with the time frame between the years of 1949-1969. During this time, China sees Japan as a threat, which is not surprising because of Japan’s assault against China in the 1890s to 1920s, Japans brutal occupation of China in the 1930s and 1940s and Japan’s role in America’s containment strategy
