Why is the Quen important to Australia?
Australia is a Federation of states that wereoriginally colony's of Britain. At the turn of the 20th century these colony's federated and formed the single nation of Australia. However it chose to stay as part of the British Commonwealth with the sovereign of Britain as its titular head of state. Australia has had a referendum to find out if the people wanted a republic or leave things as they are, they chose to stick with the old system. This was probably because the best place to have your head of state is 14 thousand miles away and powerless to change a system of government that has served well for over a century.
Why was the fall of Singapore so important for Australia?
Australia, having been part of the British Empire had soldiers, if only a small amount, garrisoned in Singapore. When Singapore fell 85000 prisoners were taken, British and Australian. Australia were now underthreat as one of the reasons for Singapore to be taken was to get an advantage over Australia. Australia's main force was in Europe and Australia's main line of defense was destroyed. This lead to Australia looking to America as its "chief defender" of sorts, instead of its traditional defender, Great Britain. The loss of "The Gem of the British Navy" played a major part for the change in heart of Australia, the 'failure' of Britain. Where as America appeared to be regathering itself and had not lost the more important features of its Navy, unlike Britain.

How did Australia's relationship with Great Britain and the US change in World War 2?
Australia looked upto Britain because it was their mother country but when the British ships were sunk in Malaya and Singapore and Britain fell to japan, Britain was seen not as strong after being defeated and australians felt that they could no longer rely on Britain but instead joined allies with America and kept links with Britain.... Hope that helps u ppl who need the answer. I did my best 2 answer it.AnswerAustralia's relationship with Britain in WW2 decreased when Curtin (Australia's prime minister at the time) wanted to bring back the troops in New Guinea, who where working for Britain to stop the Jampanese back to the Australian Homefront. Churchill wanted the troops sent to Burma instead. Curtin won and the troops returned home to Australia, but then sent up to New Guinea (at the time controlled by Australia) where they battled with the Japanese. I'm not sure if this is where the fighting of the Kokoda trail happened...but anyway..the relationship altered and Australia turned to America to find some help with backing up the troops, but Roosevelt (USA prime minister) sided with Churchill, and Australia was left to fend themselves....AnswerAustralia received it's independence in 1901 but still recognizes the British Monarch. Prior to Dec 1941 the Australia army was in Africa and the Middle East fighting with the British. After the Japanese dramatic advances in 1942 the Australian PM pulled the troops home. Churchill was very upset about this. The Australians had real expectations of invasion buy the Japanese. AnswerAustralia had depended on England, a world power, for protection. However, World War I weakened Britain's navy to the point where Australia was not sure England to protect her. With Japan investing most of its money in its military and invading China and Indonesia, Australia became more nervous and allied itself more strongly with the United States. The historian Paul Johnson said, it was like a divorce and a re-marriage. AnswerI answered the question earlier and wrote that Japan had invaded Indonesia, but I should have written Indochina, which I believe is now Vietnam. AnswerSome of the above answers give an unnecessarily melodramatic twist to something simple. After Pearl Harbor and the fall of Singapore, Australia ordered most of its troops back home from North Africa in order to defend Australia if the need arose. They also strengthened their links with the U.S. Just common sense, given that Britain was too far away to provide effective protection. Obviously, Britain wasn't too pleased. JonceyTo the best of my knowledge, i see Australia to have been a distraction for the British. When the Australians landed at ANZAC cove, the British went over to the other side of the island and boiled the billy for a cup of tea. meanwhile the Australians were being defeated by the Turks. I feel that the relationship between the British and the Australians was friendly to the face, but backstabbers. I also feel that the British used the Australians to protect their own men.

What are the registration procedures for a bed and breakfast?

Is Australia under the authority of Great Britain?
No. Australia has gained complete independence from Britain. This was a long process, beginning with Federation, when the six states came together as one federated nation, under an Australian Prime Minister. As a British Colony and later a British Dominion Australia gradually gained more and more autonomy. It did not achieve full independent Sovereignty until 3 March 1986, when the Australia Acts came into effect, terminating all British jurisdiction over Australia. The fact that Australia still pledges allegiance to the Queen has little "official" significance. The Governor General is the Queen's representative in Australia, but is appointed at the discretion of the Prime Minister, who in turn is elected by the people of Australia.
