>the war
which war?
The big one: Part 2
Anglo perfidy
Who made this idiotic comic?
We were never "allied" to Greece (since it didn't exist) and when we did intervene we destroyed the Ottoman navy
australia is unironically irrelevant in the grand scheme of things
It's probably making fun of the sort of thing that happens in viccy 2 not history
This but they still could've invaded Japan or something.
Australian troops were active in both North Africa and Italy. They also were involved in PNG and early pacific island campaigns. Darwin was bombed by the Japanese aswell. Even here in NZ, with have military implacements for a supposed Japanese invasion, but that never came.
Something like 30k Australian troops died. Considering that ANZAC nations are so far away from Europe these are huge numbers in prospective.
Yes but Australia had over 7 million people in 1940, surely they could have sent 1 or 2 million into Japan with guns and ended the war right away
they had an abo division in ww1 i think. they fought in finland
Finnish blood has been tainted with the sperm of Abos and you can't deny that.
come on we made our entire military based on projection and spend double canadas budget on it purely to follow you into wars like a dog
Can some history fag explain to me why Australia and New Zealand sent their troops to North Africa? It makes no sense, why didn't they stay in Oceania to help the U.S. fight Japan?
the meme war
You could have ended world war 2 early, you should have just armed your entire population and invaded Japan with your 7 million + man women and children
a total population of 7 million doesn't give you 1-2 million fighting men
The US fielded 12,209,238 men and had a total population of 130 million
Taking that many people out of a population , supplying them, transporting them, arming them, traning them is just impossible when it's 20% of the population
i think he is just being retarded
Thanks Amerilard I am totally triggered by you pretending to be retarded
Dumb cunt
Because the UK and The US had the final word when it came to strategic opperations in WW2
Australian and NZ generals were in positions of command at the opperation level, in italy and in the pacific but they drew up battle plans and made operational level decisions at the most not strategic ones
Why would two small islands with fuck all population make excecutive descisions in a conflict as massive as WW2? It's way smater to just combine that ANZAC forces into larger ones
It worked really well in WW1, the Autralian general monash drew up the plans for the 100 days in 1918 that would form the basis of all modern combined arms doctrines using tanks and airpower combined with infantry and artillery
australia should ahve digged a tunnel through the earth into germany
/They should have detached the north NZ island from the crust and used it as a massive naval vessel to attack Japan with
howling
how would you feel about a career change and becoming the grand general of the Australian army
Australia did lots
Yeah I remember reading that they got pretty butthurt about how many Americans were banging their women while they were stationed in Australia
kill yourself
damn
Alliance with the British. I believe we were autonomy after ww1, but ww2 brought more freedom from the old empire (as well as trade incentives ect). Also considering our nations rely on trade to survive, it is in our interests to keep NA in british hands due to maritime importance.
Australia (not so much NZ) was involved in fighting Japan in the beginning campaigns. The northen tip of AUS was bombed and had America not started offensives in the pacific it may have seen a ground invasion (I think this is a stretch though as they were already very active in East Asia at this point).
Honestly though, although all the movies are based on America and western campaign (and British in older films) they were really just playing the phone version of ww2. USSR/China got the full copy.
doubt they had the economy and logisyics to even try pulling that off
no
I suppose this makes the most sense. Britain still had executive authority to order its colonies to protect the the Island at this point, yes?
>Honestly though, although all the movies are based on America and western campaign (and British in older films) they were really just playing the phone version of ww2. USSR/China got the full copy.
no joke
But some like to meme that Anglosphere and allies did nothing
UK bore the brunt of the Axis navies before the US navy caught up, UK and US tried invading Europe a couple of different ways that failed, leading to the Normandy invasion to throw off Autismany, US forces were getting their asses kicked in North Africa in '41, which is what taught the Army how they were going to take on the Germans in Europe, but by late '43, the Red Army had begun moving in for the finishing blow
>american education
Fuck me the sterotypes are real
no
>he would send aussies and new zealanders straight to hell
can't argue with that
t. Douglas MacArthur
Do they teach reading comprehension in clapistan?
Also their male population was much lower after part 1, many ghost towns because there were too many men that died.
autist kiwi
based abos
Jesus fucking christ, your nation deserves to burn after what it did to Japan.
I hope a powertripping copper puts a bullet through your head.
likewise you did, Amerimutt
they were too busy fighting emus
What did we do to Japan that was so horrendous? We demanded their surrender, they refused, so we demonstrated overwhelming force to ensure they would surrender.
>civilians in US had days as usual like nothing happens, meanwhile ones in Japan were frightened at US's air force dropping bombs and running around to take cover
Why do Aussies let Americans get under their skins so easily?
What about the citizens in China?
good for population modified
The subhuman citizens who were gearing up to fight a 30 year long guerilla war in defiance of your obvious doom?
>They dindo nuffin, we wuz goodo boyza. We just want to sacrafizu whole famiry in brutal combat for small dick emprah
Fucking yellow monkey, we should've kept droppin em until your whole foul island sank back to hell. Then the sea critters would have some rest.
