Here is something that always puzzled me. In WWII they sent almost all their troops to fight again in Europe (and North Africa) for a Britain led by Churchill. This time, however, they had good reason not to and should have instead be fighting the Japanese in the Pacific which was a real threat to them.
- meric 11y agoIf it weren't for ANZAC they would have sent all their troops to Europe again, leaving none to fight the Japanese in Papua New Guinea. First defeat of Japanese troops in the Pacific was by Australian troops. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Milne_Bay http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Milne_Bay
