Question 25

Indigenous Australians and the war.

Answer 25

When World War I broke out, Indigenous Australians were an oppressed minority whose numbers had been reduced by up to 75% during the preceding century due to murders, sickness, and expropriation. They had no motive to be loyal to either Australia or the British Empire. The Australian government demanded that AIF recruits be “substantially of European ancestry or descent.” Despite this, a large number of Indigenous Australians enrolled. According to recent estimates, the number was approximately 1000, although the true count might have been higher. We have no proof of their motivations for enrolling because this information was neither solicited or documented.

Question 26

Why did Indigenous people and half-castes attempt to enlist.

Answer 26

Likely for a steady pay check and their belief that going to war would stop racism.

Question 27

ANZAC

Answer 27

Australian and New Zealand Army Corps

Question 28

How did the Gallipoli landings go?

Answer 28

Terribly, 2300 ANZAC soldiers died in one day and the Turkish soldiers held high positions over the anzacs, who only held a few square kilometres of beach, cliffs and gullies. This position was easily defendable for Turkish soldiersand with their extreme military presence many ANZAC soldiers died. On the 18-19th of may the Turks made a massive counterattack employing 42,000 men which lead to disaster with deaths of over 10,000. Ironically for the allied soldiers the best part of the operation was the retreat fooling the Turkish soldiers that they remained in trenches with rigged firearms.
