SUMMARY:Menace at Home - Australia Under Attack 1939-1945. One-Day Conference
DESCRIPTION:This one-day conference will explore the numerous ways Australia was attacked during the Second World War.\n \n \n \nBetween 1939 and 1945\, over 1\,800 enemy air raids targeted northern Australia\, while the nation’s coastal waters were patrolled by raiders\, sea mines\, and submarines. \nPeople of various backgrounds—friends\, foes\, and families—were interned in heavily guarded camps for the duration of the war. \nA Japanese prisoner-of-war breakout resulted in fatalities and widespread panic. \nThese stories\, and many more\, will be examined. \nWhat happened? \nWho was involved? \nHow did the nation cope with the “menace at home” while simultaneously fighting a war on multiple fronts overseas? \nThe keynote address will be delivered by Professor David Horner.
