How did World War 2 affect Australia?

Answer 1

It affected Australia's relationships with other countries because it made Australia start to question and analyze their bonds and links with other countries. Australia wanted to become independent from Britain because John Curtain thought that success in war could not come from Britain. He wanted Australia to look to the US as they had new ideas and attitudes.

Answer 2

The impact World War 2 had on Australia's relationship with the rest of the world was drastic. Australia's relationship with Britain changed from strong ties of loyalty to almost nothing as Australia realised that during the war Britain wasn't going to be able to protect them and they turned to the USA. Ties already lay with USA but they weren't very strong so by becoming a strong ally of USA we developed a strong tie to the USA which still stands today as we see in the news almost every day. What happened next, was the french established a tie with America, which meant that all the main powers of the world were on one side(including china). They all turned against Japan and won.
