Anzac Day at Home and Abroad: Towards a History of Australia’s National Day
Over the last hundred years, Anzac Day (25 April), the anniversary of the initial landing of Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) at Gallipoli in 1915, has captured the Australian and New Zealand national imaginations. The day remembers the first significant engagement involving Australian and New Zealand soldiers in the First World War. This article is an early report of a major project that will chart Anzac Day’s origins, development a…
Family Matters? The Dominion High Commissioners in Wartime Britain, 1938–42
The demands of the Second World War had long-term consequences for Britain's future relations with its four self-governing dominions of Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa. Forged by war, a key component in this evolving diplomatic relationship was the office of the high commissioner, which by 1950, became the main conduit of communications between the British and dominion governments. This essay introduces some of the main actors and…
William Hughes: Australia
The First World War marked the emergence of the Dominions on the world stage as independent nations, none more so than Australia. The country's sacrifice at Gallipoli in 1915, and the splendid combat record of Australian troops on the Western Front not only created a national awakening at home, but also put Great Britain in their debt, ensuring them greater influence at the Peace Conferences. Australia was represented at Versailles by the Prime M…
Other people's wars? Some thoughts on Australia's military involvements in the twentieth century
The idea that Australia's wars of the twentieth century were ‘other people's wars’ has been fashionable for a generation and appears to have become popular during the Vietnam War years. This paper examines Australia's various military involvements to show that at the time of each there was majority support for them as most of the electorate judged them to be in Australia's interests and usually in those of the international community as well. To …

Introduction: Australia's changing relations with Britain and the Commonwealth from Menzies to Howard via Fraser—A brief survey
In the 1950s and early 1960s Australian governments led by R. G. Menzies saw the Commonwealth essentially as a family of old British colonies of settlement or dominions bound together by national interest and sentiment. The emergence of the new multiracial Commonwealth in the 1960s coincided with fundamental changes in this relationship when Britain joined the European Community and withdrew its military from East of Suez. Since then, although Au…
Appeasement and After: Towards a Re-assessment of the Lyons and Menzies Governments' Defence and Foreign Policies, 1931-41
In terms of international policies, the Lyons and Menzies Governments of 1931-41 have had a bad press for generations. They have been accused of failing to rearm in time for the Second World War, sending troops abroad who were sorely needed at home, too readily appeasing the Dictators, perversely selling pig-iron to Japan, and planning to give away half of Australia above a Vichy-like Brisbane Line. A reassessment reveals this to be leftist demon…

Why Australian History Matters
I have been teaching Australian history to students in the University of London on and off over the last fifteen years. Most of the class are young Britons, and there is a scattering of exchange students from other European universities, the Americas and Asia. It is a perennially popular subject and I often wonder why? One answer, better than it seems at first sight, is the mountaineer’s: ‘because it is there’. But there are certainly some things…

Australia's and Canada's Wars, 1914-1918 and 1939-1945 Some Reflections
Australia's and Canada's world war historiographies are virtually mutually exclusive nationalist discourses, yet each nation fought as part of the same Commonwealth and alliance. Each invented a similar myth about the potency of its warriors. Each carefully gauged its level of participation, agonizing especially over military conscription. Each contributed to the global strategic outcome in World War II in its own distinctive way. And each found …

Counsels of despair or withdrawals with Honour: Partitioning in Ireland, India, Palestine and Cyprus, 1920–1960
Partition was an answer sometimes adopted by Britain as it sought to resolve the dilemmas of decolonization in circumstances where the populations of the emerging nations were irreconcilably divided. Despite negative popular images associated with all of the cases examined, partition was also the only way of ensuring a controlled transfer of power and minimizing chaos. During the process of decolonization, Britain manoeuvred to remain where possi…
