Australia in WW2

In late 2001, over 1,100 Australian troops fought in the beginning stages of the invasion.

Adolf Hitler sent troops into Poland to invade the nation and take control of it. The first person to die was during that invasion. I have never seen a name for the first Polish person to died in that attack. They may know over in Poland. I have added a related link of some folks who have been to Poland who can probably answer your question with the exact name you need.

Commission Plan

There was only one issue, Germany, Italy and Japan wanted to conquer huge territories, if not the entire world, and enslave or exterminate the people already living there. Needless to say, the people in their way objected. Michael Montagne

You can look at this from a number of angles: It was important because: -A powerful Japan threatened Russia's back door which in turn potentially threatened their fight against Germany. -Japan needed to be contained so that the U.S. could use its combat power to bash Germany upside the head. Once Germany was down Japan would get a bullseye painted on it. -Japan stole away the British and French colonies (that they had stolen a hundred years previously) and they had to be recaptured. -Japan had to be prevented from possibly taking India and linking up with Germany in the MiddleEast (This was a biggee that the Germans and Japanese never really realized would have given them a nice advantage). -Japan threatened to destroy China as a nation which did not fit in with FDR's plan to have China as a major power to counter Japanese imperialism.

December 1944 the second world war finished

They fought in war because of the Europeans, when they came the Aboriginals thought they were 'Evil Spirits' and the Europeans had more better weapons than the Aboriginals. The Europeans were also taking over the Aboriginal Land for their own civilization.

The Phoney War.

Australia fought as part of the British Empire; declaring war when Great Britain did. Troops of the 6th, 7th and 9th division of the AIF (Australian Air Force) were sent to the Middle East and half of the Australian navy went to the Mediterranean to assist the British war effort. Australia also fought in Papua New guinea, the Kokoda Trail, although Australia was occupying Papua New guinea so it was therefore part of Austrlia at the time.

Australia was claimed by Captain James Cook in 1770 for the British and became part of the British Empire at that time. The settling of Convicts at Sydney Cove in 1888 served two purposes it provided a British contingent to occupy the continent (allowing the Empire to expand as it had done in India, Africa and America) and provided a place to settle Convicts who had been building up in numbers in prison hulks since the American war of independence had stopped convicts being deposited there.

Historian's generally accept the year 1961 as the start of US military involvement in Vietnam.

Some historic wars have had little effect on the civilan population of the countries involved because of location, duration or the numbers involved. For almost everyone in WW2 in any country involved, and for a fair number of neutrals, this was not the case. The Home Front was a concept particularly used in propaganda material to convince the British population to make changes, or accept them, in order to facilitate Britain's survival and victory in the war. Some Home Front issues included: Rationing, and need for increased food production. Recycling (salvage) drives and the elimination of wasteful practices. Changes to employment, with many women needed to both increase factory production and replace men going into the armed forces. Coping with blackout, air raid precautions and bomb damage and casualties. I agree with the previous answer in most respects except the author has confused 'concept' with 'cachphrase' it was a simply a term coined by the government to refer to people making a difference to the war in Britian, winning on the 'home' front.

It ended badly, with an atomic mushroom cloud and Russian Troops threatening the Home Island. Ultimately, it wasn't the fact that the United States used atomic weapons on the Japs, it was that the Japanese finally realized that loss of any part of Japan to the Russians would mean never getting it back! That is the only reason Japan surrendered! I don't think we had but one more atomic bomb left at that time. At any rate, the Japanese were quite used to taking 90 percent casualities. They didn't give a damn about civilians. Operation Tiger, the propossed invasion of Japan caculated a 1.5 to 3 million allied casualities. That's what the Japanese were preparing for us. Only the possible loss of part of the nation brought extreamists to the surrender table. Not atomic bombs. Yep, scarry Uncle Joe Stalin is really who they feared, not American B-29s creating firestorms, or even an invasion by Americans and British Troops. Somehow the Japanese held a notion that we would eventually leave and that they would get Japan back. Their honor intact with millions dead, but that would not be the case if the Russians ever go a hold of Japan. The idea of becoming the Soviet Socialists Republic of Japan didn't go down too well. Resistance is futile! You will be assimilated! Ah...No! Surrendering to the United States was far more attractive, and it proved a far better choice for the Japanese. Now, if they would only teach their own people about their own barbaric bid at world conquest, stop asking for an appology because the attack on us resulted in a couple of atomic explosions. Telling us they need only appologize once, but we should forever appologize for dropping an atomic weapon. Well, you can see now that didn't even matter as they still had no plans to surrender!

It hasn't.

i havn't been able to find the answer for this so instead i will just draw you a smile :)

It made it hard to grow some types of crops back then and ancient Greece was a peninsula(look it up)

Australian pilots took part in the Battle of Brittian. They later bombed German cities. In April and May 1941. Australians fought Germans in Greece and Crete. They had to withdraw because of heavy German air attacks. Australian ships in the Mediterranean supplied troops in North Africa. They brought soldiers back from Greece and Crete. Between January snd March 1941 Australians helped defeat the Italians in North Africa.

It wasn't really. the Japs were completely cut of from their suppliers and it was only a matter of time until they starved to death. However a lot of people were paid for the equipment used and wasted there .

To offer another point of view, the defence of Port Moresby was critical to Australia, because it would have left northern Australia more vulnerable to attack.

Singapore had already fallen, Rabaul (PNG) had already fallen, and the Japanese troops were getting much closer. The threat of a Japanese invasion was very real, as over the period of a year or more, Darwin and northern parts of Australia from northern Western Australia right over to the east, and the Atherton Tablelands, Cairns and Townsville, had experienced periodic bombings from the Japanese.

In May 1942, a Japanese invasion fleet departed Rabaul for Port Moresby, and the Battle of the Coral Sea began. It was a very real threat which was only turned back by the US aircraft leaving from carriers. The Japanese then made their attack via the Kokoda Track, but thanks to the Papua New Guinean natives assisting the Australians and the US troops, the Japanese were turned back, having to retreat to bases at Buna, Gona and Sanananda.

The successful defence of Port Moresby was also a victory for the morale of the Allied troops. General MacArthur had seen some heavy losses, and there have been suggestions that, had MacArthur lost Port Moresby, his career might well have been over.

East & West Germany

Aside from the one where the aboriginals were subjugated, no, and this was not a single war but a series of massacres and general repression, not to mention removal of aboriginal rights and suppression of their culture.
There has never been a civil war in Australia. There has been conflicts with the Indigenous community, but never a war. However, Australia has participated in wars such as World War 1 & 2, Vietnam, etc.
