Overview
Australia’s involvement in World War I has been regarded by many as a defining event in our history. We will examine the experiences of soldiers at Gallipoli and develop an understanding of the Anzac tradition through an analysis of the Anzac legend. We will have the opportunity to consider how the tensions of war created social and political divisions within Australia.
The Second World War had a major impact on the generation who fought and lived through it. Australia’s relationship with Britain and the United States was fundamentally altered. In this topic, we will explore the experiences of Australians on both the war front and the home front. There will be opportunities to study issues and events of particular interest or local significance in more depth.
