World War I, also known as the First World War or the Great War, was a global war that centred in Europe and began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918. More than 9 million soldiers and 7 million neutrals died as a result of the war.

Instead there were six colonies of New South Wales, South Australia, Victoria, Queensland, and Western Australia that existed on the Australian continent as separate countries, also including Tasmania, the island colony. It was also governed as separate countries by Britain given that Australia was still under the rule of the British Empire. Initially there was absolutely no interest what so ever of a federation uniting Australia as one because each colony was interested in being responsible for their own economic interest and couldn’t come to an agreement. However due to many factors such as attaining a united defence to have
Primary source: The Australian Worker, October 26, 1916 “For Australia’s Sake” On the 26th of October, 1916, The Australian Worker published a piece entitled “For Australia’s Sake”. The title of the paper itself is an indication of their intended target audience, the Australian Worker; its sub headline is “The Australian Paper for Australian Homes”. This gives the reader an indication of the political standing of the paper, it is clearly a Labor-oriented newspaper, and thus the document should be read as a piece of Labor party propaganda. Written by Henry E. Boote, a Labor propagandist, the document appears to be an article (arguably an advertisement) on the front page of the newspaper.

This federation was the result of intercolonial discussion, referendums and political debate with a range of different issues . However given the country’s history surrounding Asia and Pacific workers and the conflicts due to their presence, it was agreed that the new nation of Australia would be ‘white’ only.

Tensions also existed at the political level. In their analysis of Curtin’s press briefings, Lloyd and Hall suggested that, with the exception of MacArthur, Ambassador Nelson Johnson and General Kenney, Curtin was mostly negative about American war leaders and their policies. They noted that, in his briefings, he made no mention of the PWC, quickly appreciating its token nature, but outlined his complaints at American attitudes towards Australia, his concerns with Lend-Lease, his strong opposition to Edward Flynn’s proposed appointment to replace Johnson as well as his frustrations at the lack of US military assistance. As Lloyd and Hall explained, his attitude “is hardly indicative of the veneration and gratitude of an Australian Prime Minister for a great and powerful friend. At best there is a sort of wearied resignation about what must be.

The ‘civilising process’, as theorised by Norbert Elias (1939), entails the social and political practices in a society that construct and define the act of civility. The Civilizing Process sought to explain how Europeans came to imagine themselves as ‘civilised’, in comparison to their more barbaric medieval ancestors (Elias 1939). Elias (1939) went on to suggest that ‘civilisation’ is established through a particular ‘habitus’ and is largely defined by Western colonisation’s perception of being superior and ‘civil’ in an attempt to control violence (Van Krieken 2000:90). However, civilising controls such as paternalistic governance and legal conditions that are an extension of the ‘civilising process’ possibly challenge and delegitimize ‘civilisation’ itself, and instead redistributes violence enabling the ‘decivilising process’ (Van Krieken 2000:249). I will examine the Stolen Generation in Australia in light
