Aboriginals and WWII
In 1939, about 3000 Indigenous Australians went to war. In the beginning, the English people didn't want have the Aboriginals in the war because they didn't trust them, but the threat of an Immediate Japanese invasion forced the leaders to allow them to enroll. The Aboriginals wanted to go war because When they went to war, they received more food, got payed a lot, and most of all, they felt like they were being treated equally. Meanwhile, Back in Australia, the government was controlling Australia a bit
differently. The rights of Indigenous Australians was shifted yet again,
not in a good way. Blackouts and Brownouts were enforced, meaning that
Aboriginals could not go out of their homes.
