Australia in WW2

The Australian Army is surely the Australian Army.

The Australian Imperial Force (AIF) was their primary expeditionary force during WWI.

At Gallipoli, the Australians and New Zealanders were referred to as ANZAC or Australia/New Zealand Armed Corps.

Ancient Egypt's borders were pretty similar to how it is today, mainly because nobody would try to invade a part of a country that was all desert. Though I'm sure their border extended further into Sudan.

Because it showed that the blitzkrieg of the Germans could be halted, it was the first time the blitzkrieg was brought to a halt. The Australian victory greatly improved morale. It also showed that Rommel could be defeated.

The Jews kept at these camps had lice and the diseases that came with them. At the begining they had access to cold water showers but when the camps began to be liberated, the guards left and the water was shut off. I highly doubt there were showers. Many who weren't gassed died from disease. One of those diseases was Typhus (not exactly sure if spelling is right). This disease was developed from POOR HYGIENE. Anne Frank died from this disease, along with her sister, Margot.

Australia is a young and culturally diverse nation which often struggles with how to define its national identity. What does it mean to be an Australian?

Many joined the armed forces. Many others migrated to urban centers to work in defense plants. They needed to adapt quickly to white culture and at the end of the war most of them did not return to reservation life. For some, it brought the sense of having lost their roots.

The groups within Australia that supported our involvement in the Vietnam war were: * The Returned Service League (RSL) * The Liberal party and Country (now known as National)party and * The older generation

i wonder!?!

Sally, "Hey! I'm a nurse. The war is going on and I'm sitting at home knitting right now."

Tom, "Oh. That's their job right?"

Sally, "Yes it is"

...no. the nurses were obviously working in hospitals doing the same thing that nurses do today!

World War II occurred in the period 1939 to 1945.

The first ship to circumnavigate the world was the Victoria. It was a part of Ferdinand Magellan's expedition in 1519. It was commanded by Magellan until he died in 1521 in the Philippines. After Magellan's death, it was commanded by Juan Sebastian Elcano, who completed the voyage in Europe in 1522.

the economy failed and millions of people died as a reslut of no heat

Formaldehyde (IUPAC name methanal) is a chemical compound with the formula H2CO. Sources of formaldehyde in the home include building materials, smoking, household products, and the use of un-vented, fuel-burning appliances, like gas stoves or kerosene space heaters. Formaldehyde, by itself or in combination with other chemicals, serves a number of purposes in manufactured products. For example, it is used to add permanent-press qualities to clothing and draperies, as a component of glues and adhesives, and as a preservative in some paints and coating products.

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.

In the beginning, the Roman attitude toward women's roles in society was much like that of the Greeks. Roman males believed that the weakness of females made it necessary for women to have male guardians. The paterfamilias, or male head of the household, had the responsibility for guardianship. Fathers also arranged the marriages of their daughters. By the second century A.D., the paterfamilias no longer had absolute authority over his children, and the husband's absolute authority over his wife also disappeared. By the late second century, women were no longer required to have guardians. Upper-class Roman women had considerable freedom and independence. They had the right to own, inherit, and sell property. They were not segregated from males in the home, like Greek wives. Rather, they were appreciated as enjoyable company and were at the center of household social life. Outside their homes, upper-class women could attend races, the theater, and events in the amphitheater. In the latter two places, however, they were forced to sit in separate female sections. Women could not participate in politics, but a number of important women influenced politics through their husbands.

The day after Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt went to Congress to get a declaration of war against Japan. Approval was nearly unanimous, with all the Senate and all but one Congressman, voting for war. Three days later Germany and Italy declared war on the United States, and the US reciprocated.

Egypt throughout history has been host to numerous conflicts ranging from the Ancient Pharaoh's Wars with the Cyrenacians and Proto-Cyrenacians (modern east Libya), the Bedouins, the Nubians, the Hyksos, the Assyrians, and the Babylonians. Egypt was also militarily occupied and annexed by the Persian, Hellenic, Roman, and Byzantine Empires before being added to the the Rightly-Guided Caliphate. Egypt eventually split off into the Fatimid Caliphate which fought numerous battles in modern Tunisia and Israel/Palestine. Egypt was eventually overrun by Turkish Empires that fought numerous wars in Egypt, like those against Napoleon in 1799. Modern Egypt has fought several wars with Israel on Egyptian territory including the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9, the Crisis of 1956, the Six-Day War of 1967, and the Arab-Israeli War of 1973, before making peace with Israel in 1979.

There was five men who led Australia as Prime Minister during World War II - Robert Menzies, Arthur Fadden, John Curtin, Frank Forde and Ben Chifley.

Robert Menzies served from 26 April 1939 to 28 August 1941. He was the one who made the official announcement that Australia was at war with Germany, following on from England's lead.

Arthur Fadden served from 29 August to 7 October 1941, but was defeated during the budget debate on a no confidence motion.

John Curtin served from 7 October 1941 - 5 July 1945. He died on 5 July 1945, six weeks before the end of the War in the Pacific. Curtin is credited with developing a better alliance with the US once Japan entered the war, realising that Australia could no longer depend on the UK for support, as it was occupied with both fighting Germany and its allies in Europe, and with the fall of Singapore to the Japanese in the Pacific.

Francis Forde served from 6 July 1945 to 13 July 1945, for a period of only eight days, the shortest term for any Australian prime minister. He maintained the leadership following Curtin's death, until elections could be held.

Ben Chifley served from 13 July 1945 to 19 December 1949, and led the nation for the final weeks of the war.

The Kokoda Trail is about 96km and it goes across the Owen Stanley Ranges from Ower's Corner (North of Papua New Guinea's Capital Port Moresby) to Kokoda village.

It's important to know that there is not one definite Kokoda Trail, but rather many different smaller tracks that lead across the Mountains. They part and converge to form the area which is known as the Kokoda Trail (or Kokoda Track).

Yes,. but gave it back.

Political issues.
The most common reason for emigration from anywhere is to escape war, but many people specifically come to America for an opportunity to enjoy a better life.

The Soviets always acted in their own self-interest in their foreign policy, which is in a way admirable for any government.

Let's keep in mind also that there was an existing track record: the Russo-Japanese war, several decades earlier.

With the war against the Japanese obviously within days of ending in WWII, the Soviet Kremlin government "declared war" not to be good boys on the block or trade for favors or make a good impression, but purely in a grab for the long-disputed smaller Japanese islands that the Soviet Union/Russia had either long wanted or long claimed already!

This was chiefly an opportunistic land grab, a territorial move, in the direct interest of the Soviet Union itself. Nothing more.

The above is the textbook answer the the entire World is sold on...

In reality Russia was hours away from a full attack on Japan.

The latter is the PRIMARY reason USA dropped the bomb!

The faster USA was able to get Japan to surrender the less problems associated with dividing Japan, we learned our lesson when we allowed Russia to infiltrate Germany!

575,799 Australians served overseas during WWII out of a Military force of 993,000.

• caused significant psychological damage on residents of Sydney and Newcastle.
• Sea water was damaged from the shells
• The invasion caused people to move west
• housing prices dropped in the eastern suburbs
• housing prices rose dramatically in the Blue Mountains
• significant increase in the members who volunteered for defence forces
• helped become better allies with America.

there was a "white Australian policy" put in place in 1901,

it was one of the first things Australia did when they first federated in Jan 1st 1901.

They also put in an immigration restriction act, which only allowed Britain people in Australia and other people who weren't British were forced to do a test to be allow to come into Australia

i guess it slowly degraded, because in 1930's we went through the bust in the economy, and so we wanted more people to come into Australia but only British people, however British people were also suffering, so we started letting other European people into our country, such as Italian's German's etc.

as the year went by, we slowly relaxed, and become multicultural like we are today
