Australia were struggling for support now that they offered economic resources to the Japanese in January 1942. Japan 's Navy General saw Australia as a threat though to the Japanese new Western Pacific empire because of this empire they wanted to They wanted to take some of the main areas of the Australia 's northern mainland. The Japanese also feared that the United States would be able to use Australia as a base to concur the Japanese in the Western Pacific region so the later they could take back american territory that was already conquered by
Australia had come under attack from Japan during the war. Britain had promised to help Australia but had failed to do so and it was only from the help of the United States that Australia was able to keep the Japanese out. This incident made the Australian government realise that only 7 million people could not defend Australia and that they needed more people so that Australia would not be overwhelmed by any future conflicts. It was said that Australia had to ‘populate or perish’. At the end of the war in 1945, countries with devastated communities and economies started rebuilding.
Historian Allan Mitchell writes that Bonapartism was “a model for Bismarckian politics”. There is evidence that shows that Bismarck was indeed influenced by the way Napoleon III ruled in a fast changing society racked by tension between bourgeoisie and proletariat. Historian classify Bismarckism as Bonapartist as he never founded his own political movement and avoided becoming dependant on retaining confidence of the monarchy. Furthermore, there were some smaller German states that agreed with “Bonapartism” as they saw it as a desire to revise in a reactionary sense the constitution given in 1848. This is significant as Bismarck would have needed to appeal to all German states any by incorporating Bonapartist views into his policy he would be appealing to the smaller states, which in turn would support
The United States had a variety of reasons for entering World War I, as stated by argument nine. However, two reasons are the most prominent. For the first, the United States felt as though it was under attack by Germany, despite previously declared neutrality. For the second, the United States was more deeply related to the Allies economically than the Central Powers. However, the two connect through the use of German unrestricted submarine warfare, since it posed a threat to US merchant ships while it was still a neutral party.
Australia has been labelled as the country of mateship, fair-go and tolerance, but the mistreatment of Asylum seekers in Australia denies these values. In our anthem we sing “For those who’ve come across the seas, we’ve boundless plains to share”. It ironic isn’t it? As when Asylum seekers arrive in Australia we do not offer a hand of mateship instead we use punitive matters such as sending them to mandatory detention, which shows how xenophobia is manifested in Australia (Ariyawansa,
In much of the western world, and particularly in Europe, there is a widespread perception that multiculturalism has ‘failed’ and that governments who once embraced a multicultural approach to diversity are turning away, adopting a strong emphasis on civic integration. As of today however, at least a third of Australian citizens now have ancestors other than British or Irish and Australia has absorbed immigrants from over 240 countries and places around the globe. Our multicultural society is a product of the successive waves of mass immigration following the Second World War. Australia once was an Anglo-Saxon preserve that attempted to exclude people of colour through restricting immigration to people of British or Western Europe background.
There are two sides to every story to many Australians Kokoda was recognized as the efforts of the Australian soldiers being critical to the defense of Australia against the threat of the Imprial Japanese Army. Such famous historic figures such as paul Keating and John Howard retelling the Kokoda story with the exaggeration of the Anzac’s defending Asutralia. But to some Australian’s such as the former senior historian at the Australia war memorial, DR Peter Stanley, has stated that the Japanese were not planning to make themselves masters of Australia in 1942 and that any Japanese threat to Australia in 1942 was greatly exaggerated by wartime prime minister John Curtin for his own political ends. I t is also known that Hideki Tojo the prime minster of Japan in 1942 stated, as being unfeasible to invade given Australia 's geography and the strength of the Allied defenses. Invading Australia was never an option for the Japanese Imperial Army.
Exploration shaped Australia because if sea explorers did not come to Australia. It would not be known today as it is. 3. What was life like for Aboriginal people before the arrival of the white faced people?
I strongly believe our armistice is just a mirage. It will be impossible for our country to remain neutral. The United States needs to join the alliance against Germany because of uncontrollable submarine warfare, the Zimmerman Telegram, and to stop the imperialism of communistic countries. The nationalism and propaganda circulating the country will not allow the United States to stay away from the war. The German u-boats have shown that the German government has neglected the consequences of attacking countries not involved in the war.
Captain Phillip arrived at Sydney Cove on the 26th of January 1788, with instructions to establish a British colony. Governor Arthur Phillip was aware that the Aboriginal people would be unsympathetic to the British, but he wanted to establish friendly relations so that both the British and the Indigenous people could live happy a peacefully lives. At Botany Bay, Captain Phillip was opposed by the Aboriginals that lived in the area. Unlike Captain Cook who had shot at the Aboriginal people, Phillip had put down his weapons and they did the same. Connection with the Indigenous people at Botany Bay from that time was tense but friendly.
The conflict between Britain and her colonies was mainly economic in origin due to acts imposed by the Britain as well as the idea of mercantilism. Back then, Britain practiced mercantilism- in which a country's wealth was measured in the amount of gold and silver it possessed. Thus meaning, the colonies existed to support the mother country economically by importing and exporting goods to and from Britain. As Documents 3 states, "the colonies are generally restricted in all their foreign trade", because all goods from the colonies were "reserved for the British realm".
Upon arriving at Jamestown in 1607, English colonists began their experience towards achieving colonial unity. As much of the old world established dominion over the new colonies, they encountered more competition and continued the struggle to reach colonial unity. Legislation, such as The Mayflower Compact and the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut enabled the colonies to expand upon themselves in such a way that enabled a sense of national identity, and eventually, colonial unity. The start to colonial unity at the colonies began in 1620, when forty-one men signed the Mayflower Compact.
"Salutary neglect" benefited the colonies since they could trade with other people which improved their economy. It also kept the colonies with England during the English civil war. England could finally pay attention on governing other parts of its growing empire, and on becoming more powerful in Europe, while the colonies weren't suppressed with laws, and this way they had freedom with the practice of "salutary neglect". Moreover, it allowed the colonists to develop and strive for self-government.
The United States won its independence for Great Britain during the Revolutionary War. America struggled to get the advantage, but eventually was able to win the war. In the beginning it proved difficult to even acquire the troops necessary to fight a war. The troops they got had no adeptness for fighting. They struggled throughout the war and at times their chances for success looked bleak.
In the 1770s, Britain had established numerous colonies in today’s North America. The Colonists were under control of the British Parliament, and they had to fulfill Britain’s laws and their trade policies. Many Colonists believed that the British were violating their rights; these people gained the title patriots. On the other hand, some colonists still believed they should remain loyal to the British; they were the loyalists. In the end, the colonists broke away from English rule due to British Parliament forcing the Colonists to pay for the war debts through taxes and not letting the Colonists have a say in their decisions.
