Second World War Attempt To Show
1,688 words
A countrys foreign policy is only partly the
result of decisions made by its government: it is
mainly imposed by circumstances. Australia, during
the last fifty years, has been a country unsure of
its place in the world. She has been bouncing from
ally to ally, begging for a place under their
umbrella of protection, ignoring and denying her
place in the Asian region, and struggling to find
a foreign policy that is in the best interest of
her welfare and security. Australia truly finds
herself, p...

result, our fear of communism and of Asia
increased dramatically. Australia, occupying a
