1914 in Australia brought out the same attitude as in many other countries and men rushed to enlist. This rush was quick to dry up and the Australian Govt. felt the need to introduce conscription. Two referenda were held resulting in their defeat on both occasions. As such Australia, South Africa and India were the only participating countries not to introduce conscription during the First World War.
