| Syllabus: | This unit examines Australians and their involvement in wars from 1788 to the present. Themes include: fear of invasion; Australia's role in the British Empire and as American ally; the cost of war; modern warfare, including peacekeeping; the impact of war on the Australian national psyche (attitudes to particular racial groups, and to people who did not serve in wars; and exclusion of women from the ANZAC legend). Historical debates will include whether the Frontier Wars should be commemorated alongside Australia's service in overseas wars; whether there was a 'battle for Australia' in 1942, Australians in the Vietnam War, and the rationale for Australia's present military engagements. |
