Introduction:

World War 1 was one of the biggest wars that this world has ever seen, and it started in1914 and ended 1918. The reason the war started was because the Great Britain declared war on Germany due to its invasion on the neutral Belgium and the assassination of Franz Ferdinand by the South Slav nationalist Gavrilo Princip. It was a battle between the triple entente and the triple alliance. The triple entente consisted of France, Russia, and the Great Britain. The triple alliance included countries like Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. Australia was always out there to help Great Britain, so we were part of the triple entente. The Australians got involved in the Gallipoli campaign, the Sinai and Palestine campaign, and the one I’m going to talk about the Western Front campaign. There was a lot of militarism prepared for this war as this was going to be the first world war and the biggest world war that they were going to ever face. The war of Gallipoli went on for 8 months from April all the way up to December.
