really badly... the Australian would rob their houses, in tolerate them and they even took off all the German Street names in Australia cause they hated them so much. They would be treated as German enemies even though they were Australian. Great Warof 1914 to 1918 is meant by World War I.

How were Germans perceived in Australia?
Initially, the Germans were treated the same way as any other cultural group. When they settled in South Australia in the 1840s, they contributed to the development of communities with their vast farming and agricultural expertise. They were left in peace to worship in their Lutheran churches in freedom (religious persecution is why most of them left Germany in the 1800s), and not perceived with any suspicion. However, with the advent of World War I, there was a great deal of paranoia that people's German neighbours could be spies for Germany, even if their family had been in Australia for generations. Some Germans were forced to close their businesses, German leaders in the community were stripped of their positions, and many were taken to Australian internment camps where, though they were treated well enough, they were required to remain for the duration of the war. Some Germans anglicised their surnames so they would not be interned. This happened again in WWII.
