Best Answer

The three battles of Ypres (1914, 1915 and 1917, the latter also known as the Battle of Passchendaele). The two battles of the Somme (1916 and 1918). The Battle of Verdun (1916).

These were the three largest, although there were also smaller battles such as Belleau Wood and Chateau-Thierry by the Americans when they finally entered the war. Broodseinde, which the New Zealanders attacked just eight days before they were massacred in an attempt on Passchendaele. Vimy Ridge, where "Canada became a nation". Bapaume etc.

Are you referring to the west of the country or the Western Front as in the First World War? If you are referring to the Western Front, then it is because so many young Australian soldiers lost their lives in battles there. Battles such as Fromelles, Pozieres, Bullecourt, Messines, Ypres and so on resulted in the deaths of many, which when you consider Australia had a relatively small population had a profound impact on the national mindset.
