X. READING COMPREHENSION

Read the following passage and then answer the questions.

Australia and the Great War, 1914 – 1918

Australia’s role in the First World War, or the Great War as it was known until 1939, is central
to the development of modern Australia’s vision of itself in the world. In many ways it has
served to create what is in some ways a second founding of the nation in the Gallipoli campaign
and on the battlefields of France and Belgium. The influence of the war experience in the First,
and Second, World War is evident in the way in which ANZAC day is, perhaps even more than
Australia day, the country’s national day.

When the war broke out in 1914, it was a certainty that, because of longstanding economic,
family and defense ties, Australia, along with New Zealand, would stand alongside Britain. The
then Prime Minister Andrew Fisher was quick to pledge the country’s support to “the last man,
the last shilling”. This was no idle promise and Australia paid a high price for their loyalty to
their colonizers. From a pre-war population of 5m, 417,000 enlisted in the armed forces, of
which 324,000 served abroad. By the end of the war, Australia had lost 60,000 dead and
155,000 men had been wounded. The economic price was also high. The national debt, which
had stood at ₤6m in 1914, was £325m by the end of the war.

It is possible that the first shot of the war was fired in Australia, when a shot was fired across
the bow of the German merchant ship Pfalz as it tried to escape from Port Arthur only a few
hour after the declaration of war. In late 1914 the light cruiser HMAS Sydney sank the German
warship Emden off the west coast of the country. Also early in the war, Australian troops
captured the German radio transmitters in Rabaul and Nauru and conquered all of German New
Guinea.

At first the Australian forces were intended only to defend Australia, but in 1915 the Australia
New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) departed for Europe. Their first stop was Egypt and it was
because they were so close that they were chosen to take part in the campaign to capture the

10
Worksheet Global Studies 302
Assignment Group 6
Senior Lecturer OM SORYON
Gallipoli peninsula, the key to shipping into the Black Sea, from the Turks. The plan was for
British, French and Anzac forces to land on the peninsular at night at weak points in the Turkish
defense. However, strong winds blew the troops off course to better defended spots and in the
advantage was lost. What followed was months of bitter fighting in which 20,000 British and
7,000 ANZAC soldiers were killed and which ended in a successful withdrawal, but no gain for
the Allies. It was at this moment of history that Australia was propelled on to the world stage.
From this moment onward Australia began to think of itself as a country in its own right; as
being separate to Britain and no longer a colony.

Most of the ANZAC force was sent to Europe, but the Australian Light Horse remained to fight
Turkish forces in Palestine and Syria. They defended the Suez Canal and advanced through
Palestine and Syria. They also took part in what was one of the world’s last great cavalry
charges at Beersheba.

The main ANZAC force arrived in Europe in 1916. The ANZAC experience was similar to that
of the other participants in the war; a high death toll and little gain to be shown for it. Australian
forces were present at all the major battles of the war and sustained some terrible casualties. For
example, in 24 hours near Pozieres the 5th Division suffered 5,000 casualties. At the battle of
Bullecort, of the 3,000 men who advanced, 2339 were killed, wounded or captured.

By 1917 most of the officers were not professional soldiers. The most prominent example was
General Sir John Monash, who was an engineer by training. He commanded the allied forces at
the battle of Hamel so well that the general staff published the battle reports as a model. In
August 1918, he commanded 200,000 troops on what way called “Ludendorff’s black day”, a
turning point in the war. Monash was probably Australia’s greatest military figure.

Unlike in other armies in the war, the Australian soldiers were all volunteers. They were also
more individualistic and showed less respect for the rulebook than other soldiers. The
relationship between ranks was more democratic and officer had to win the respect of their
troops. All in all, they paid a high price for fighting in the war. Of the 324,000 soldiers who
served overseas in the war 215,000 were killed or wounded. This was the highest proportion of

11
Worksheet Global Studies 302
Assignment Group 6
Senior Lecturer OM SORYON
any of the countries in the war and was probably due to the Australians fighting qualities, which
meant that they were often used on the frontline of the fighting.

At home, the war had a significant effect on the economy. Negative effects included the end of
British investment, the closure of many shipping lanes and the stockpiling of Australia’s main
export, wool. However, the isolation that resulted from the war meant that Australia had to
make some things that had previously been imported. This led to the development of new
industries. In addition, the BHP smelting company, which is now a major Australian company,
saw a great increase in demand for iron and steel. The needs of the war were stimulus for the
beginning of full industrialization in Australia.

At the signing of the treaty of Versailles, which marked the end of the war, Australia signed as a
separate country. This reflected the fact that, at the cost of 60,000 dead, Australia had finally
emerged from the shadow of Britain. The Great War was, perhaps, the beginning of modern
Australian history.
