ANZAC Day is named after the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, who landed at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915, in World War I.
From 1916 onwards, in both Australia and New Zealand, ANZAC services were held on or about April 25, mainly organised by returned servicemen and school children in cooperation with local authorities.
25 April 1916 was the first unofficial ANZAC day. It was marked by a wide variety of ceremonies and services in Australia, a march through London, and a sports day in the Australian camp in Egypt. In London over 2,000 Australian and New Zealand troops marched through the streets. In the Sydney march wounded soldiers attended by nurses also took part in the march with the aid of motor vehicles.
ANZAC Day was gazetted as a public holiday in New Zealand in 1921. In Australia, it was decided at the 1921 state premiers conference that ANZAC Day be observed on April 25 each year. Initially, it was not observed uniformly in all the states.
It wasn't until 1927 that all Australians commemorated the day with a public holiday.

Why do people wear poppies on ANZAC day?
Poppies symbolise remembrance.
The story goes that, following one of the bloodiest battles of World War I, in the fields of Flanders in western Europe,when the ground was completely churned up and muddied, thousands of red poppies sprang up. The seeds had lain dormant in the soil and, after being aerated with the churning of the soil from the soldiers' boots and fertilised with their blood, the poppies grew abundantly, springing forth new life from death.
This is why poppies are worn on ANZAC Day, Remembrance Day (commemorating Armistice Day) and other solemn occasions when we remember the soldiers who fought or even gave their lives for our freedom.
Another reason poppies came to such prominence in association with World War I is because of how they were immortalised in that most famous poem of WWI, In Flanders Fields, written by John McCrae. This poem is spoken at memorial services everywhere on both ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day.

How does New Zealand system of government effect's peoples lives?
Because New Zealand is a Democracy, it means that all citizens (who arent under 18, mentally unstable, or have recieved a prison sentence over three years) can vote for the party they want to rule. Not only does give everyone fair choice, it also demonstrates how tolerant the Government is, by letting anyone with citizenship vote. Comparing New Zealands government to say, Gaddafi's rule, can you see the difference? It is very hard for one person to come to power under a Democracy. but with Libya, all he had to do was persuade a few people, and he had complete power over the whole country.
