During World War 2, Australian’s were prisoners of war all over Europe. More than 30,000 Australian’s became prisoners between the years 1940 – 1945. These prisoners included airmen, soldiers of the 6th, 7th, and 9th division, and some nurses. They were prisoners of many countries. The main countries that captured Australian’s were Germany and Japan.

Impacts in, and on Australia were felt almost instantly, and can still be noted in today's modern society where the relationships between Australia and the United Kingdom, and Australia and America are fortified internationally. Prior to World War Two, Australia was apart of the British commonwealth, and still is today, but during the war, Australia was at great risk because of it's geographical location. Many felt that support from the British was scarce, and as the Japanese continued fighting in the Pacific, the risk of attack on Australia was imminent. This was shown by the infamous bombing of Darwin on the 19th of February 1942. Source 1 shows a map of Japanese occupied areas in the Pacific at it's peak.

World War One began on the 1914, which Germans and the Britain’s started. Australian and New Zealand troops known as the ANZAC, help fight with the British Army. Many Australians died fighting for the Britain’s, also many died in their own homes, or coming back. They died either from a disease, or they ended up taking their own lives with all the memories they had. Those who survived, didn’t live a happy life.

The Australian government implemented different types of controls during World War 1 and World War 2. While some of the measures were similar, there were significant differences in the way the government managed the home front during these two conflicts. One of the key differences between the government's control during the two wars was the role of technology. During World War 1, the government had limited access to advanced technology, which made it more difficult to manage the home front.

In 1850’s The White Australian Policy began to try and create anun-racial Australia. It was used against anyone who was non-European and those who were different colour races by refusing to allow them to enter the country. This policy succeeded and continued until the end of World War II. After WW2, Australia could no longer hold its position of isolation from the rest of the world. The war produced a refugee crisis that drove Central Europeans from a decimated Europe.

World War I, also known as the First World War or the Great War, was a global war that centred in Europe and began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918. More than 9 million soldiers and 7 million neutrals died as a result of the war. Australia’s involvement in the First World War began when Britain and Germany went to war on 4 August 1914, pledging full support for Britain. The outbreak of war was greeted in Australia, as in many other places, with great public enthusiasm. One of the most famous Australians in World War I was General Sir John Monash, an Australian who started off as a civil engineer and gradually became one of the best Allied generals of the First World War.

The outbreak of World War 1 was caused by a man called Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated which other nations thought of as a threat. World War 1 started from 1914-18.

In 1901 the six British colonies of Australia came together to form the Commonwealth of Australia. This federation was the result of intercolonial discussion, referendums and political debate with a range of different issues . However given the country’s history surrounding Asia and Pacific workers and the conflicts due to their presence, it was agreed that the new nation of Australia would be ‘white’ only. Despite Indigenous Australians and Chinese who were already in residence, colonialists aspired to keep the heritage and culture of Australia British and as a result there would be no home for non-European in Australia . After Australia was federated on January 1st 1901 the government passed the Immigration Restriction Bill which became known

How was conflict created between the Australians and Germans? (Intro) When WW1 was announced in Australia on the 4th of August 1914, every German person living in Australia was treated with hostility and suspicion as Germany was an enemy to Australia, all Australians thought that the Germans would support Germany, thus the conflict was created.

The most significant experiences that impacted Australian Indigenous people was the discrimination on a daily basis and the affect that fighting in World War 1 (1914-1918) had on them. World War 1, often referred to as the Great War, stands as one of the most climactic moments in history. Amongst the trenches, battles, and sacrifices — the contributions of the often-overlooked Indigenous Australians are a notable fact as to why the War was a success. The Indigenous Australians in WW1 were a community comprised of around 1,200 people (State Library of QLD). Within the Aboriginal community, their experiences serve as an attestation towards their determination, courage, and resilience in the face of their hardships.

The Bombing of Darwin, which occurred on February 19, 1942, was a significant event in Australia's history. The attack, which was carried out by Japanese forces, resulted in extensive damage to the town of Darwin and the loss of hundreds of lives. In this essay, I will explore the background to the bombing and the impact it had on Australia's involvement in World War II. The bombing of Darwin took place just over two months after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, which had drawn the United States into the war. The attack on Darwin was part of a larger Japanese campaign to establish a stronghold in Southeast Asia and to cut off Australia's supply lines to the United States.

During World War 2 (1939 – 1945), Australia had a variety of impacts on both its government and its people. The war had a great effect on the place of indigenous people in Australia as indigenous men and women joined services throughout the country. The Aboriginal Australians, both the men and the women had contributed in the second Great War. Meanwhile, when the Aboriginals of Australia had jobs during World War 2, Australia’s economy boomed with the help of the war as many Australian troops had gone out to fight for the British. The economy had boomed during the period of the Second World War as Australian products could be produced as well.

Australia’s experiences of World War II were significant for Australia and impacted on the shaping of our national identity. Australia 's response to entry into World War II in 1939 differed from Australia 's entry into World War I in 1914. Reasons for this includes attitudes towards war changing after gaining the knowledge and experiencing consequences of World War I, the conditions and lead up to World War II as well as Australia’s strong support for Britain. Firstly, the attitude of Australians changed due to World War 3I proving that war was not glamourous or exciting like it was assumed. During the lead up to World War II Australians had already struggled to survive through the depression and were now required to survive at war.
