AnswerThe war had a great effect on the place of indigenous people in Australia. Large numbers of men and women joined the services or worked in war industries they received greater training, pay and social contacts than many had had before. For many non-indigenous Australians this was their first real contact with Aboriginal Australians. Many indigenous people also had contact with black American troops in Australia, and saw them with skills, money and a greater sense of civil rights. Indigenous Australians were treated with great respect if they went to war. AnswerErr...some were mostly put into internment camps in fear that they would assist the Japanese in the invasion, because they had been treated to badly.

That's the fact.

Some went and fought the war for their country. But they usually had to lie that they were from another nationality because they couldn't get in being aboriginals.

~they couldn't even find decent jobs, they had to pretend they were white for a living (usually).
