Best Answer

World War II was a drastic and terrible time for the modern people. Tens of millions of people lost their lives, both on the front and as civilians. During this time, many migrants came to Australia seeking a fresh start in life and a new beginning. It is estimated that between 1945 and 1960 over 500, 000 people from Europe, Asia, Africa and the America's arrived in Australia and nearly 85% of such became citizens.

Why do migrants come to Australia?

Many of them left a life of grinding poverty where some people lived in hovels. They came to Australia in the hope of starting a new and better life for themselves and their children. Some came because they were adventurous. Others because they felt that they could lead in the prosperity that Australia was headed for. From my research for a Master's degree and currently for a PhD it would seem that most British migrants in the 1960s actually came from residential areas and lived in quite comfortable accommodation. Most came because of promises made to them by government publications which promised a 'standard of living among the highest in the world'.

Italian immigration to Australia?

Australia needs Italian immigrants due to the lack of labor, particularly in the agricultural industry. The Australians came to respect the Italian migrants as they were hard workers and could cope with working in Australia's hot climate. They also came to realize the positive effect their arrival in Australia was doing for our economy. the majority of Italian migrants came to Australia after world war II. Living conditions in Italy were poor for most. Australia soon became a popular option for Italians as the US now had restrictions on allowing Italian immigrants into the country. These restrictions tightened till they allowed virtually no Italian immigrants into the country, in contrast to the 2 million that were allowed in before the war. As a result of this, many Italians were redirected to Australia. Only encouraged by the news of the high living conditions and mountains of opportunities available in this young country. Although many of these rumors were exaggerated, living conditions in Australia were undoubtedly better than those in Italy, and the majority of migrants did not regret their arrival in Australia. Most of who stayed in Australia and eventually acquired land. Italian migrants played a big part in the growth of Australia. They provided us with sorely need labor in the post war period and gained a new respect from the Australian public. This resulted in many migrants being naturalized, and continuing to build a future in Australia.
