The Australians became involved in WW1 because they wanted to help England in the coming war so when Australia was in any kind of political or economical trouble England would be there to help them. another reason is that Australians feared the Chinese and Islanders might take over the country and if that happened England would help them.
Australia was / still is [though not as much] extremely loyal to Britain, as one of her dominions. Therefore as a rule, whenever Britain announced war, so did Australia. In WW1 Australia fought solely for Britain and in the European theatre. In WW2, even though Australia was fighting for Britain at the start, when Japan bombed Pearl Harbour on 7 Dec 1941, Australia declared war on Japan the next day. When it seemed likely Japan was going to attack Australia [Which it did in darwin Feb 19 1942] they turned to America for help and pulled out their troops from Europe. This was seen as a shift from Britain to America. But Curtin [the PM] wanted to do everything possible to defend Australia.
As a member of the British Commonwealth. From June 1914, Britain was at war, therefore Australia was also at war.
I believe Australia was required to sent troops to support the British effort as Australia was part of the British Empire at the time.
PLUS THEY LOVED SHANAE AND THEY HATED ASIANS
