Australia in WW2

There are no junior spy organizations, but there are spy agencies working for the government, such as the CIA. If your question is for kids, then there are spy camps like the one in Running Springs, CA.

On the 19th of February 1942, Australia's mainland came under attack for the first time by the Japanese forces. Two air raids on Darwin occured at 9.58 am. The two attacks, which were planned and led by the commander who was also responsible for the attack on Pearl Harbour ten weeks earlier, which involved 54 land-based bombers and approximately 189 attack aircraft which were launched from four Japanese aircraft-carriers in the Timor Sea. In the first attack, heavy bombers pattern-bombed the harbour and town, dive bombers escorted by Zero fighters then attacked shipping in the harbour, the military and civil aerodromes, and the hospital at Berrimah. The attack ceased after about 40 minutes. The second attack, which began an hour later, involved high altitude bombing of the Royal Australian Air Force base at Parap which lasted for 20�25 minutes. The two raids killed at least 243 people and between 300 and 400 were wounded. Twenty military aircraft were destroyed, eight ships at anchor in the harbour were sunk, and most civil and military facilities in Darwin were destroyed.The Japenese were ment to invade Timor so the Australian Army wouldn't reach Timor to help the Timorese out.

At Federation in 1901, the vast majority of people living in Australia were either born somewhere in the United Kingdom or had parents or grandparents born there. At that time, many Australians might have referred to Britain as "home".

As late as the 1950's, many Australians referred to England as "Mother England", amongst other things.

Britain was also Australia's largest trading partner for many years up to the 1960's.

Things cooled off a little during World War 2 when Britain refused to allow Australian troops to return to Australia to defend the country against the expected Japanese invasion.

Russian battleships during the Russo-Japanese War in 1904 had a complement of about 800-900 officers and men.

beats me

The truth is no one.

The fighting on Kokoda Trail was fought between the Japanese and Australians and no one else.

The Americans hadn't yet joined the war when the battle started, the British had withdrawn to abandon Australia, the New Zealanders contributed too few men about 10,000 in the Pacific, and Australia's allies in South-East Asia had already fallen to the Empire.

However, the natives of PNG did help Australian wounded but they never fought in battle.

really badly... the Australian would rob their houses, in tolerate them and they even took off all the German Street names in Australia cause they hated them so much. They would be treated as German enemies even though they were Australian. Great Warof 1914 to 1918 is meant by World War I.

That there sexy and whats to give them the D

Yes. That's what made aircraft carriers so dangerous, they could strike anywhere!

It was occupied by Germany on 15 March 1939.

FIRST

Australia fought in Gallipoli where the Australian troops courageously tried to capture the beach from the Turks.

In addition to Gallipoli, Australians fought on the Western Front in France; the Light Horse Brigade went to Egypt and the Middle East; the Australian Flying Corps served in German New Guinea, Mesopotamia and India; the Australian Navy saw action in the Indian Ocean (they sank a German light cruiser off the Cocos Islands) and German New Guinea.

The population who died during the War could be as high as 72,707,700 which is about 3.70% of the world's population.

Florence Nightingale, she believed that medical aid should be given to wounded troops on the battlefield. Many troops were killed either by bleeding out or by being eaten by wild animals.

In general, it simply means one is taking and dealing with what is presented (usually something bad) to him/her. Perhaps you could be more specific, unless that answers your question.

All the armies in WW1 used it. By the early 1900's machine guns had become standard in the world's armies. However, machine guns of that time were heavy and best suited to a defensive role, and Germany used them most effectively in this way.

At the end of 1939.

Herpes simplex is a viral infection caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 or 2.

Essentially, merchant ships carry cargo, warships are armed for war. The line was blurred somewhat in WWII becasue merchant ships were, in many cases, armed for defence against German submarines and aircraft (although the guns were manned by RN crews on British ships).

If you are talking about the world in general there is always a constant war going on in some countries. If you are talking about the U.S. then you can figure out the length of time from the first world war, to the 2nd; Vietnam; the Gulf War and the war in Iraq.

The Australian government overplayed the evidence of communism to the country by attacking labor unions, because of alleged communist leanings. Prime Minister Robert Menzies then proceeded to attempt to ban the Communist Party. The public objected, however, and the action didn't succeed.

In spite of the far left tendencies of several Catholic organisations (such as Sinn Fein, the Catholic Worker Movement, etc.), the Catholic church has long feared the dominance of Soviet style Communism, which pushed for an atheistic state.
