    Australia's relationships with Britain and the United States changed during World War 2. Initially, Australia supported Britain against Germany when war was declared. However, key events such as the Fall of Singapore and Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor weakened Britain's influence in the Pacific. This led Australia to form closer ties with the United States for security and protection, as Britain could no longer defend Australia from the Japanese threat.

    Attack on Pearl Harbour


    On December 7, 1941 the

    torpedo attack on the US Naval
    Base Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.
    On December 8, President

    American citizens, informing

    Fall of Singapore

    was a significant resources and trading base for


    Great Britain

    130,000

    British and Commonwealth troops were situated in


    Singapore to defend the base

    British

    forces believed that this amount of soldiers could


    withstand an attack from Japan.

    January 1942, the Japanese seized Malaya and by 15


    February, the British surrendered Singapore after only a week
    of fighting.

    Highlight the key events that we have referred to within


    your timeline

    Why did Australia become


    involved?

    Menzies stated that Australia declared war on


    Germany as Great Britain had done so; as a result,
    Australia is also at war. Therefore, Australias
    allegiance and bond with Britain resulted in Australia
    automatically supporting Britain against Germany.
