Australia

Australia during The Great War
Australia had fought in the great war due to still being a dominion of the United Kingdom. The Australians had fought hard against the Germans in the pacific along with the now strong Australian allies New Zealand and Japan. The three countries fought closely in the pacific theatre against the Germans, taking German colonial possessions with almost no resistance. Japanese-Australian-New Zealand relations had skyrocketed leading to new trade agreements, diplomatic ties and all round trust between the nations and their troops. The new relations led to the end of the migration restrictions for the Japanese people allowing Japanese people to work and immigrate to Australia, the same happened in both Japan and New Zealand. Relations between the nations had grown so much that troops were being sent to fight in the European theatre together.

Post Great War
After the war the Australian parliament began distancing themselves from great Britain more and more and began lining themselves more and more with both Japan and New Zealand.

Originally there was a small resentment towards Japan was prevalent in Australia and in New Zealand due to the fact that Japan was given the former German colonies from the Treaty of Strasbourg which the two powers were hoping to obtain at the end of the war. The Australians and New Zealanders offered multiple times to take administration of the colonies from Japan but Japan refused every option (including having Japanese officials preside over the regions). These resentments were more or less dropped by the Australian people after the three countries finally came into agreement, a shared colonial empire,.
