HIST19032  War & Australian Society: Conflict and Division on the Home Front

This course examines Australians at war from 1788 to the present, not from the point of view of the military historian but with respect to the conflict and division that wars have caused on the home front. The course takes as its points of reference the struggle between Aborigines and settlers on the frontier, colonial wars, conscription, World War I and World War II, Vietnam and the Peace Movement.
