Australian Prime Mininister John Curtin sought help from the US during World War II because England, on whom Australia had relied for so long, made it clear that they were not in a position to help defend Australia against the advance of the Japanese. England's Defence Forces were divided between the battles in Europe and in southeast Asia, and had suffered a terrible loss with the fall of Singapore.

Curtin's main contribution to WWII was to withdraw Australian troops from the European theatre of war, to Winston Churchill's displeasure, in order to defend Australia against the Japanese.
