  • Battle Of Kokoda Essay

    947 Words  | 4 Pages

    During the fighting, Australian soldiers killed swathes of Japanese, including their commander, causing over 85% casualties in a force of at least 16,000 while only suffering 2500 dead themselves. The campaign ended as a crucial victory due to the multiple defeats it caused the Japanese which stopped their momentum and helped turn the tide of the war in the South Pacific in the allies’ favour. While the campaign was an overall success, it was far from perfect and it had its fair share of problems, mainly with the supplies at Myola, but also with the troops that were deployed. If it hadn’t been for the timely arrival of the AIF at Isurava, the Militia would have been annihilated and the Japanese would have marched straight into Port Moresby with dangerous consequences for Australia and the rest of the war

  • Australia's Attitude Towards World War 1 Analysis

    738 Words  | 3 Pages

    Australians supported the decision to go to war very enthusiastically in 1914 mainly because they were very loyal to England but of course, there are other reasons which influenced their decision. Because Australia was extremely loyal to their ‘mother country’, they of course did not hesitate in following Britain’s declaration on war. Australians had very little experience before World War 1 which started on the 28th of July, 1914 and continued until the 11th of November, 1918. It was said that the cause of World War 1 was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and his wife, Sophie who was the Duchess of Hohenberg, in Sarajevo, Bosnia.

    in Australia, the war was promoted very biased with all the media surrounding the war being pleasant and heavily censored so that more people would be more inclined to join the war. Some attitudes to the war were not so great with some people saying it was not Australia’s war and an Irish stereotype was that they did not want to fight a ‘British War’. This was demonstrated in the film when Frank’s Irish father said: “it’s not our bloody war”. It was widely thought that World War One would demonstrate Australia’s value to Britain, which would lead to further support militarily and other help. This is why Australia was so eager to promote the war volunteering 50,000 troops to Great Britain.

  • Battle Of Fromelles Essay

    857 Words  | 4 Pages

    During World War One, there was a battle, which, while not as well known as Gallipoli, which finished only 6 months prior, is certainly just as significant to Australians both past and present. The battle of Fromelles saw thousands of soldiers die in less that one day, and although being regarded as a complete and utter failure, has taught Australians the importance of individuals. It has also taught people that war is not fun and games, the way it is romanticized in film and television, but is truly, indescribably inhumane and murderous. Good or bad, the battle of Fromelles cannot be called anything less than significant. The battle of Fromelles is often regarded as the most severe and overtly pointless battle that Australians fought throughout World War One.
