Because Australia was still technically part of the British Empire ( a Dominion) and was bound by an alliance that required it to participate in wars which involved its "sovereign" country( in this case Britain).
because Australia loved following Britain around
It's a commonwealth of the British Empire. Being that Britain was directly involved with the war, countries such as Australia and Canada were pulled in.
Australia is a colony of Britain.
They were and are a part of the Commonwealth.
Yes.
Britain, Australia and Germany.
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.
Australia's relationship with Britain started to deteriorate when Australia wanted to bring their troops home to defend Australia but Britain wanted to use them elsewhere. Australia turned to America and they united to fight japan.
Australia's fought in the Boer War, World War One and Two to support Britain
Australia fought in wars with Britain because Britain OWNED Australia until after World War 2. The wars after that in which they fought together with the Brits were when they were doing United Nations military functions. They have not fought in any war because OF their desire to support Britain but because they are allies together in the United Nations.
Yes. As a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations, Australia was bound to join the war when Britain did and on Britain's side.
Australia declared war on Germany as well.
no
Britain
Australia followed the lead of Britain. Prime Minister Menzies announced lamely 'Because Great Britain is at war with Germany, Australia also is at war'.
Yes
As a member of the British Commonwealth. From June 1914, Britain was at war, therefore Australia was also at war.
Australia had long answered the call to support Britain, becoming involved in everything from the Maori Wars, Sudan, South Africa, World War 1 - South Australia even offering a contingent for the Zulu War, all of which did not threaten Australia until Japan's entry to WW2.
Britain, US, Russia, Canada, Australia.
They were and are a part of the Commonwealth.
