Allowing American forces to command them, being sent to irrelevant and sideline campaigns while MacArthur went on to glory in the Philippines and beyond.

Australias' northern cities, Darwin and Broome, were repeatedly bombed by Japanese aircraft during World War 2.
World War 1 and World War 2 were the last declared wars that the US participated in.I'm sure however that there have been small regional warsafter World War 2, that the US did not participate in that were declared wars by the regional participants in those wars.
The actual conflict in Syria can lead to a regional war by spreading throughout its border to Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon, and if Iran gets attacked, then there could be a World War 3.

Yes, Australia was a major contributor to the Allied effort in World War II; Australian troops fought in North Africa, Europe, and in the Pacific.About 41,200 Australians died in World War II.(About 1 man for every 200 Australians at that time)At one point there was serious danger that the Japanese would invade Australia. In particular the city of Darwin was heavily bombed by Japanese aircraft.

Yes it did, you might be surprised to know that Australian forces were fighting in Vietnam 3 years before America even joined the war. Aussies were also the first to follow the Viet Kong into the tunnels. Australias contribution was modest with thousands deployed at any one time. The most famous battle of the war involving Australia was the Battle of Long Tan where 30 Aussies fought off 2000+ Viet Kong. It is a shame that the war was lost in the end.
