[2023-11-12 01:35:49]
Australia is a relatively young country that became a unified country in 1901 (Australia Federation, 2012). Young people do not change as young people, identity is a problem. Who asked who I am and where I am in the world, unfortunately I will not answer until the tragedy happens. The national identity is the relationship between the state and the people. This coherent sense can be shaped by many events in the history of the country, but the most important is war.
"The Gallipoli Movement is a crucial moment for Australia as a new country ... When Australia began war in 1914, many Caucasian Australians thought that their federation had no history, that is true It is not a country, it is the most glorious day of Western culture, the sacrifice of death - the sacrifice of death - is widely considered to be the basis of the establishment of the country, and the Gallipoli is a country where the Allies are in Gallipoli Australia began participating in World War I in March of 1916. Participation in France in Australia began with the battle of "Mia", which is part of the Western Front, A new army experienced the first battle. From there, the Australian army was sent to many places on French Allied Front. French village Posiere counted the most sacrificed victims in Australia anywhere on the planet and about 23,000 victims came out one mile.
The Gallipoli campaign failed entirely in the military and 8,100 Australians died, but their memory is very important. Gallipoli changed the idea of Australia and became a symbol of Australia's identity and the moment of its establishment. The day of ANZAC in Australia on April 25, which is the day Gallipoli first landed in 1915, in commemoration of the death of the annual holiday. For non-Australians, selecting dates is often incredible. After all, this is a coalition invasion that ended with military failure. Bill Gamassi believes that the choice on April 25 is very important for Australians, because in Gallipoli "great machines of modern war are not enough for ordinary citizens to show what they can do It is from. In France, between 1916 and 1918, "About seven times the number of Australians' dead ... guns were cruel and individuals were important"
Almost a century later Australians, New Zealanders, Turks believed that conflicts in Gallipoli are central events in their modern history. Like Gettysburg, Gallipoli is a common holy ground that unites former enemies and marks important moments of their past. Mr. Bill Gamase, a historian at the Australian National University said, "All these countries existed in the battle." Gallipoli is a groundbreaking fight of World War I (such as Somme), but small conflicts, but war on narrow peninsula includes warfare typical. Killing deadly blues, useless battles, erroneous assumptions, generals by politicians, and fields that destroy the young generation. "A boat, a submarine, a landmine, an airplane, a war on land, a balloon - almost all of what the human used in the war was used for the Gallipoli campaign", Professor Kock University headquartered in Istanbul in 1915, a writer of Gallipoli Hulk Orar said.
