Wiki+Project+-+Australians+At+War

Welcome to my Wiki page. Here, you will find my investigation of various representations of Australians at war, specifically WWII in Kokoda. Each text I have selected represents an aspect of this perspective. I have selected three texts: a recruiting poster, the opening sequence of a film, and a poem. [] Titled: " Would you stand by while a bushfire raged?" I chose this picture as conscription, along with nationalism, rationing, and censoring, were the main effects of World War II on Australia. This classic display of propaganda, along with many other posters of the time, influenced many Australians, recruiting them for the war. Through conscription and nationalism, it has represented Australia. The government of the time used conscription to force people into joining the war. It also illustrates nationalism, a sense of loyalty to their country, and true patriotism. This has, and to this day continues to shape and mold our country.
