I have a strong interest in military history as well as Australian history, so I was really excited to do this course. Also had family members in the army and air force in WW1 and two.

I joined this course de to an already strong interest in Australian modern history. I travelled to Gallipoli and the Western Front in 2016, and had a very in depth education about ww1 in high school

I’m also an American abroad and this is a history that I haven’t studied. I figured Australia would be a good place to learn Australian history.

I am also an American abroad and I thought this would be a good opportunity to learn about another country's perspective on war

I have only learnt about war from the Canadian perspective, so I would enjoy learning about the Australian one too.

I am deeply interested in the way previous conflicts impact Australian foreign policy the way that Australia plans and continue to implement its  foreign policy objectives

Not going to lie, kind of wanted the tanks and guns. But this new history sounds fun too.

I know very little about Australia's history let alone it's war history and learnt very little about it during High School,  at university I've taken all the other Australian History courses and this seemed a natural continuation :)

I took an International Relations course last semester about International Relations of the 20th century, and the significance of the world wars, and I thought it was really interesting. I'd like to focus in on the impacts in Australia from wars in the 20th century.

I am an American abroad and we don't ever learn about Australian history let alone Australians at War, so while here I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.

As a foreigner living in Australia for the past ten years, I have always been puzzled by the reaction of Australians toward events like the Gallipoli expedition or the Kokoda trail and the impact it has on Australia as a nation. If I understand how the French and American revolutions could have had influenced the formation of modern France or the USA, I fail to really comprehend how a defeat in the Middle East could be so important to the Australian nation, thousands of miles away. I am also fascinated by the relation between Australia and its soldiers and the myths that seem to be at the core of it. I think this course is the right place to be to answer these questions.
