It was one of the Dominions of the British Empire, and therefore committed to defending the interests of the UK.
In World War I Australia fought with other countries but in World War II they were not part of the Allied Forces that conquered the Axis Forces.
The war after world war 2 in which Australia participated was the Korean war.
No. it was not the first war in the world, there were hundreds before. It was, however, the second war after world war 1 that at the end encompassed the greater part of the world including Europe, Asia/Pacific, Africa, Australia. World War II doesn't mean second war in the world but rather "World Wide War" Karl
Australia became automatically involved since it was a part of the British Empire at the time. Apart from that , there was considerable enthusiasm to join in with Britain and the Australians played a major part in the war, especially in the failed Dardanelles campaign .
australia wasn't in that war it was europe,canada and the us who was in that war.
Yes, war does affect Australia. Australia is part of the British Commonwealth (of nations) and whatever Britain takes part in, Australia is automatically signed up for. It's part of the treaty - for an example World War One - Australians had to go to war, even if they played no part in bringing it on, but because of Britain's orders. Then World War Two - Australians were not eager to become involved due to the destruction and grief that happened in World War One. but once again had to take part, because Australia was (and still is) part of the Commonwealth. Australia can and does also become involved in other actions, and apart from its actual and direct involvement in war is also affected in many ways, as are all countries, by wars in which Australia has no active participation. The human cost of all war affects everybody on Earth.

Australia was part of the Allied forces
In 1914.
Australia more or less walked directly into the middle of WWII, because England was fighting, and Australia is part of the commonwealth. That means we have to help out England every time they stumble into a war. Many Australians are pushing to become independent, though.
If you mean Australia it wasn't involved in WWI....or any of the WW's actually
Because Australia was a part of the British Empire. Because Australia was a part of the British Empire
As part of the British Empire Australia joined WW1 with the rest of the UK
Australia had only just gained become united as a country, but was still a colony of the British. Therefore, Australia too, was dragged into the war.
after world war 2

Australia became involved in the first world war because they were part of the British empire. When the Britians entered the first world war they called for help as they had not much of an army. India, Canada and Australia came to their aid. India suppied over a million troops. Now answer this question, Would the war still have taken place if the assassination attempt on Franz Ferdinand hadn't occured?
