Why did Australia become involved in the firs world war?

Answer 1

One of the main reasons that Australia got involved was out of alligence and loyaty to the "Mother Country" or Britain. However there were many other contributing factors. For example, most people at the time thought the war would be over in six months. They thought it would be a great opportunity to see the world and have an adventure. Some people also thought that Australia should get involved to stop the enemy ever reaching Australia.

Although overall the main reason we got involved was to help our friends in Britain.

Answer 2

On the 4th August 1914, England declared war on Germany, and Australia was drawn into the war because she was a member of the British Commonwealth. The attitude of the Australian Government was that we would defend Britain "to the last man, and to the last farthing," (This was spoken by the future Prime Minister Andrew Fisher). Australians rallied to the cause with over 52 000 volunteers in 1914. The reasons for volunteering included: Support for Britain. Australia was a Commonwealth country and was governed under the monarchy. Australia was there and ready to defend and support their mother country and allied with Russia, France and Belgium. Together with the Triple Entante, Australia was ready to defend their Britain.
