Rep Power: 11 ![]() | Same reason we got involved in the second one really; we were only what, 14 years (?) from being a British colony, and still part of the Commonwealth. Ties with Britian were much stronger back then, so we went to war to fight for the motherland. |

Rep Power: 11 ![]() | We were at war pretty much the instant Britian was. My grandad was taken prisoner by ze Germans. Aside from a few bombing raids on Darwin, the Japs never got to Australian soil. |

Rep Power: 19 ![]() | Yeah, but they were trying weren't they? I know a lot of Australians were put into prisoner of war camps from fighting the Japs and a lot of them didn't survive. The pictures show them skinny like Holocaust victims. |

Rep Power: 11 ![]() | Yeah, they were quite nasty on their prisoners. Australia's major involvement was fighting the gooks in the Pacific, but they were involved in the fighting over in Europe prior to this. |
