Best Answer

Australia was in World War 2.

They declared war on September 3, 1939 in response to the invasion of Poland along with Britain, France, and Canada

Australia operated very fluently with the British, mostly aiding them in their tasks.

The Canadians operated somewhat like this, but also took on their on tasks.

Australia had important bases for ships (war and cargo) to go through that was vital to the war effort. Some people would even argue this was Australia's most useful contribution to the war.

The Australians battled from start to finish, almost a million australians served. 27,000 of them died.

The Australian Air Force also played a very key role, particuarly in the South Pacific.
