Did Australia go to world war 1 and why?

Yes, Australia fought in World War I. In fact, Australian casualties during the war were very high - the highest per capita of any Allied country, even despite the fact that Australia never introduced conscription during the war. Australians fought in major campaigns, such as the unsuccessful Gallipoli campaign, numerous battles on the Western Front (such as the Battle of the Hindenburg Line) and in the Ottoman Empire (like the Battle of Beersheba). Australia fought as part of the British Empire. At that time, Australia did not have a foreign policy independent of Britain's. As soon as Britain declared war, Australia was obligated to join in. Furthermore, Australians were enthusiastic in their desire to fight, wanting to support Britain and prove Australia's worth as a new nation (Federation had taken place only 13 years earlier).
