    The Gallipoli campaign had such an impact because of the naivety of those in charge, who believed that we would just come in and take over with little to no retaliation from the Turks, however as we know the Turkish retaliated with great force and on the first day 2000 were killed. I believe it was this number that really made the Gallipoli campaign catch the eye of the Australian people, the number was so large after the first day of fighting that Australian people’s eyes were opened to the horror and bloodshed of war. Also some Australian people were completely against the troops being there the especially after such heavy loss, they argued that it was a waste of perfectly good troops and that nothing was to be gained. Another reason that…

    Baumer receives seventeen days of leave, but will then be reported to a training base to return to the front in six weeks.

They were known to only exist because of ‘the grace of England'. Australians were known to be inferior to the British, and lower in class (information found from source 2.44). But, world war one and the whole Gallipoli campaign changed everything.…

    In the beginning of war, young Australia wanted to prove their loyalty and worth to their “mother country” which they mostly still relied on. At the time, other nations had more men in their army then Britain, so Australia was keen to provide them with soldiers. When enlisting soldiers, the government hid their true thoughts and only provided the public with the exaggerated truth. As the war went on and more people died, Australians finally realized the truth of war. Even though their opinions changed, they still provided Britain with needed soldiers. Even when the armistice was signed and the war ended, the impacts was still felt in Australia for years…

    In theory, the legend is that the Australian and New Zealand troops helped to establish their countries' reputations in the world through qualities of strength and bravery when faced with adversity. In fact, it is much more than that. The legend of these men who endured so much has given something of which Australians can be proud. It put Australia's mark on the world as something other than a nation descended from convicts.…

Russia’s Grand Duke Nicholas appealed to Britain for aid in a Turkish invasion in the Caucasus. Eventually the Allied Forces decided to launch a naval expedition to capture the Dardanelles Straits, a small straight that connected the Aegean Sea to the Marmara Sea in North West Turkey. If they invaded successfully, they would own a small strip of sea that connected them to Russia, so that they could team up and destroy Turkey.…

    I felt awful they had lost so many on our coast”. It is clearly highlighted that Australia sacrificed all that they could, despite the fact that the country was very small, as well as the army and navy. An approximate of one third of Australia’s RAN ships was committed, as well as over 16,000 men. It is simply pure luck that the Australian Navy did not lose a ship. Australia’s sacrifice was a vital contribution from the country and was significant for every citizen…

    1. Paul feels alone in battle and his only friend and family seems to be mother earth. He finds comfort and protection with earth since he’s alone in battle and there’s nothing else protecting him except for earth’s materials like bushes and trees hiding him form the enemy. Like a mother would protect her son.

    Both of these speeches were delivered at times when the topics concerned were very prominent in Australian society. This gave the speakers an advantage when trying to engage their audiences. Paul Keating’s speech was intentionally delivered on Armistice Day, in honor of all the unidentified “men and women who laid down their lives for Australia” in World War One, because of the deeply rooted cultural significance it already held. At this time Australian people did not support war and because of this Keating made sure to clearly acknowledge that the war itself was a “mad, brutal” event that should not be a source of pride but at the same time the individuals themselves were extraordinary people who’s legacy we should always honor. To commemorate this event the remains of a single unknown soldier was brought home to symbolise the many men and women whose bodies remained unidentified.…

    War is a very controversial topic for many people. Depending on the person’s outlook on the war, it can be depicted as something good or bad. War brings destruction wherever it goes, whether it is on a place or the people, and it ultimately is inevitable. War also protects a country from having further destruction and keeps the people at home safe from any danger. As a person can see in many recordings of war, there are many comparisons and contrasts that are expressed through soldiers, veterans, and civilians.
