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. The introduction of rationing, for example, was a manual process that involved the distribution of coupons to households. In contrast, during World War 2, the government had access to more advanced technology, such as computers, which made it easier to
There was Rationing regulations for food at clothing in 1942. It was introduced to manage the amount of food and clothing at the time. They wanted to decrease the amount of total consumption. The reasoning behind was to confirm the distribution of clothing and food. They wished that savings would increase and to invest war loans.
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.
Australia and nazi Germany are very different in terms of rights, how they act, etc. But in terms of government, it is pretty similar. They both have a head of State, branches of government, and levels of government.
Australia’s economy in world war one The establishment of the commonwealth of Australia on 1 January 1901 removed two major obstacles to the development of Australian society: the disunity of the state and the exploitation and control of Britain. Since then, Australia has entered a new historical period. The main task of the new period is to vigorously develop the social economy, establish the basic laws and basic policies of the state, adjust the foreign policy, and improve the national political system and economic system. By the time of the First World War in 1914, Australia had completed the task.
The Australian government control on the home front in World War one differed to the second World War in a variety of ways. In Australia, the home front played a significant role in both World Wars, with the citizens contributing to the war effort in a variety of ways. Three ways they differed were through enemy aliens, rationing and censorship. During World War one the Australian government used the war precautions act in 1914. This allowed the government to intern anyone that was suspicious or an “enemy alien”.
Australia was involved in Both World War I and World War II, which occurred from 1939-1945 including the Holocaust. The Holocaust was caused by the Nazis which included the deaths of 6 Million Jews, The Holocaust was led by a man Named Adolf Hitler, Leader of the Third Reich (Nazi Germany). Hitler Youth is a corporation led by Hitler and its main purpose is to implant all the bad things about the Jewish. Not Only was the Holocaust a big fiasco that happened in World War II, but there was also the atomic bomb that was launched on Hiroshima, Nagasaki.
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.
Challenge bunches met differed achievement. Australia shouldn't be rebuffed on the grounds that they bolstered British Prime Minister Chamberlain's arrangement of submission towards Hitler in the mid 1930s. They were just supporting Britain
The women mostly took on the roles of that the men had been doing, such as working in heavy industry, farming, and forestry, railways, busses and taxi drivers. Woman had to deal with many consequences cause by the war such as, looking after children, family responsibilities, shortages of resources, living with fears of the future, grief and trauma of losing loved ones. 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. Australia’s involvement began when Britain needed more soldiers to fight in the war.
During World War 2 the Australian prime minister, John Curtin, called on America for help. This speech will present evidence to prove the hypothesis: the social benefits of the Americans being deployed in Australia outweigh the negative social impacts. This will be done by addressing 3 main focus questions. These questions are: when and why did the American troops come to Australia? How did the Australian society benefit from the American presence?
28th of July, 1914 marked the beginning of one of the most gruesome and brutal events in our history, the First World War. The war led to the deaths of 9 million soldiers in uniform and 10 million innocent civilians. The war would go on and last for 4 years. The war resulted in many empires crumbling while some nations gained power. During the war Australia played a huge part in the defeat of Germany, with over 400,000 Australian soldiers enlisting and going to war.
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.
