How did it affect our history?

By 1914 australia was only a young nation of 13 years, so this was a perfect opportunity to forge

history. The war was the first event that gathered all of australia for one sole cause. It was what

shaped our country and made us who we are today. It defined australians as loyal, trustworthy,

and it created our passion, our culture and spirit.

How did the war affect relationships within society?

World War 1 forced major social changes in australias society, the loss of our young men

resulted in a huge vacuum. There was a major restructuring in the australian families. many

households children were fatherless, communities were stripped of their young workers so

women had to take on the jobs of their husbands. during this period, gender inequality, and

underpayment were became evident, this triggered the womens rights movement.

Due to war, the Commonwealth, australias government, gained a large amount of power and

because of the War Precautions Act, they were given the authority to make laws on anything,

affecting the war effort. In addition these laws did not have to be passed by the parliament, as

long as there was a written document, and the Governor-General had signed it, it was a law.

Some of these laws include: creating loans to raise money for the war, and interning (locking

up) without trial people who were born in or had an association with enemy countries.

Britain colonized India in 1858. The effects of Britain colonization had both negative and positive

affects to Indian society. Impacts include initial, religious and economic.The initial impact of European contact with India was to do with power. Upon the arrival of

Britain to India, they expanded their empire and took over the country. They also tried to

spread/convert Indians to Christianity. They confronted the people on the fringed of society first

because they were the easiest target to convert religions.

Religious impacts include the spread of Christianity. Missionaries were sent to India to promote

Christianity, which resulted in the establishment of churches across the country. The attempt to

convert Indians to Christianity was successful but, in some parts of India, many turned hostile.

Britain also took over Indias economics. The Indians had a caste system which is the feudal

system of India. The caste system was then altered by the Europeans. The top of the Caste

system is called Brahmana or Brahman, the second is called Kshatriya, the third is Vaishya and

the last is Shudra. Brahmana consists of people engaged in scriptural education and teaching.

Priests and scholars are also classified as Brahmana. Brahmins were highly educated people.Kshatriya is the second highest Caste who are in charge of public service including

administration, maintenance of law and order and defense. They are responsible for justice of

social harmony and including governing and military positions. Vaishya engage in commercial

activity as business. They are basically the merchant class who import and export products so

they can sell it. Vaishya have provided Indian society with construction of temples, hospitals and

many different public facilities. The Vaishya are put in the second last of the Caste system but

have a crucial part in Indian society. Vaishya means to live and was originally focused on

farming, agriculture and trading. Shudra work as semi-skilled and unskilled labourers. Shudra

are lowest group in the Caste system. Shudra have worked in service as practitioners of

unskilled trades. Practitioners usually work with medicine. People from the Shudra get a lot of

discrimination from the higher ranking Caste and are aiming to create a new system with

equality in India.

Main religion was Hinduism.
