Why is the petrov affair considered an important event in Australia's repsonse to the threat of communism?
The Petrov Affair, which happened in 1954, was important because it led to the breaking of diplomatic relations between the Soviet Union and Australia and because it moved Australia much more firmly towards anti-communism. Before the Petrov Affair, there was controversy within Australia as to how to respond to communism. Robert Menzies, then the Prime Minister, had tried to outlaw the Communist Party but had been overruled by the High Court and had lost in a referendum on the issue. This vote was extremely close, showing that there was a great deal of public sentiment on each side of the issue. When the Petrov Affair happened, the dynamic changed and Australia became much more anti-communist for some years to come. This is seen most clearly in the fact that diplomatic relations between the two countries were severed and were not restored at all for five years.

Why did Australian men join the defence forces in the Vietnam war?
To understand why the Australian men joined the service and fought in Vietnam you have to understand the times. Directly after WWII most of the free world-United States, Canada, England, Australia etc-felt strongly that the rise of communism that had begun before WWII would increase. Rather right or wrong, they felt threatened by this rise of communism and were afraid that the communist countries, especially the Soviet Union and China, were trying to spread their communism to as many other countries as possible. In the Truman Doctrine of 1947, President Truman called upon the free world to contain Communism whereever they could. Australia was as anti-communist as America, especially so because they were within the sphere of influence of the Chinese. The Domino Theory was used to describe the fall of country after country to communism and a straight line could be drawn easily from China to Australia. The men joining the Australian defense forces during the 60s were the children of the men of WWII and had grown up under the threat of communism. Therefore, it was an easy choice to make if you believed that South Vietnam's fall to Communist North Vietnam might lead, via the Domino Theory, to the fall of Australia to Communism someday. I fought side by side with Australians in Vietnam as a Marine and there was not a finer fighting force in the war than the Australian men. Tremendous esprit d' corps and outstanding military skills.
