General Information

Overview

This unit examines Australians at war from 1788 to the present, not from the point of view of the military historian but with respect to the conflict and division that wars have caused on the home front. You will learn about several conflicts and their impact on Australian society including the struggle between First Nations Peoples and settlers on the frontier, colonial wars, World War I and World War II, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and the war on terrorism. You will also learn about the interplay between war and society by considering the conscription debates and the peace movements that came about in response to various conflicts. This unit explores the way war impacts society and the public debates that arise as the result of war.
