Best Answer

The Japanese wanted to bring Australia into their Coprosperity Sphere, in other words, invade and conquer. It was a close thing, but with the help of the Allies, they prevented from making the short jump over to Australia.

Naturally, the Australian army got involved.

In the European theater, Australians fought for their mother country of Britain.

Does war affect Australia?

Yes, war does affect Australia. Australia is part of the British Commonwealth (of nations) and whatever Britain takes part in, Australia is automatically signed up for. It's part of the treaty - for an example World War One - Australians had to go to war, even if they played no part in bringing it on, but because of Britain's orders. Then World War Two - Australians were not eager to become involved due to the destruction and grief that happened in World War One. but once again had to take part, because Australia was (and still is) part of the Commonwealth. Australia can and does also become involved in other actions, and apart from its actual and direct involvement in war is also affected in many ways, as are all countries, by wars in which Australia has no active participation. The human cost of all war affects everybody on Earth.
