During the Second World War migrant ships were redeployed to war service.

After the war increasing numbers of migrants from all over the world again began arriving at Station Pier.

One short-term impact of WWII was to stop it.

Explanation of your topic

The uneasy 20 years hiatus, of the disputes, left unsettled by world war 1

World War 2 was between Great Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union.

Was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved the vast majority of the world's countries—including all the great powers—forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis.

Hitler's invasion of Poland in September 1939 drove Great Britain and France to declare war on Germany, marking the beginning of World War II. Over the next six years, the conflict would take more lives and destroy more land and property around the globe than any previous war.

What was immigration like at this time?

The curfews on Italian immigrants were lifted in October 1942, on Columbus Day.

Approximately 600,000 Italians lived in the United States in 1940. About 1,600 Italian citizens were interned, and about 10,000 Italian-Americans were forced to move from their houses in California coastal communities to inland homes.

Post-war immigration to Australia deals with migration to Australia in the decades immediately following World War II, and in particular, refers to the predominantly European wave of immigration that occurred between 1945 and the end of the White Australia Policy in 1973.

Chifley commissioned a report on the subject which found that Australia was in urgent need of a larger population for the purposes of defence and development and it recommended a 1% annual increase in population through increased immigration

The white Australia Policy is when the fundamental legislation of the new commonwealth of Australia stopped all the non - European from coming into the country.

When did this period start/end?

It was first initiated on the 5th of June 1901 by the prime minister Edumd Barton in the house of representatives.In 1973 the Whitlam Labor government renounced the White Australia policy, in replacement it established a policy of multiculturalism in a nation.

What was the migration like at that time?

Imigration was very hard at this time due to a Bill called the imigration restriction Bill.

The Bill gave imigration officers the power to make any non-European migrants sit a 50 word vocab test.

In 1940 the population of people born outside of Australia was only 2.7%.

The Asian population was only 0.21% of the population in Australia by 1940.

In the 1960-1980s the policy was slowly being erased so the population became more diverse but not as well diverse as it would have been if the policy never existed. Our population would be thriving more than it already is because jobs would have filled much quicker and we would have had more useful skills in our.
