The after effects of World War 1 on Australia were quite tremendous. Although many made it back, hundreds of thousands died fighting, and left a huge gap in the Australian population, which weren’t exceptionally populated to begin with. Those who came back from the war were unemployed, and majority severely wounded. They also brought back with them the Spanish Flu, brought from Europe during their time fighting, and spread through Australia, killing over 10,000 Australians. As there was much unemployment
Alleged Communist plots were gradually growing post World War II and through the 1940s – 1950s, there was a fear to undermine Australian Society. Across the globe Britain, American and Australia had an underlying fear, which was the revolt of suburban security being taken away by the cause of communist plots.

With the proclamation of World War 2, women did not hesitate but mustered up to the campaign. Although Australia wanted her entire population to take part in the cause, women hastened for that chance and joined their military personnel in saving their golden state.

depends on who we are and our own social position. According to the NSW Department 1989 Report of the Healthy Older People Project, age is defined differently according to the individual.

identification from the US State Department and not an actual passport. After six months, Toguri planned to return home on a ship on December 2 but missed it due to passport complications (Lerner 163; Tokyo1, 2). As a result, Toguri was still in Japan when their military bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, launching the United States into war with Japan (Lerner 163; Tokyo 2). Refusing to deny her American citizenship, she was classified as an enemy alien and kicked out of her relative’s home. Her request
