SUMMARY:Spartans & ANZACs - 480 BC · 1941 - Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Australia had its own Thermopylae. We’ve just forgotten it. \n15 April 2026 – April 2027\nIn 480 BC\, one of history’s most famous battles was fought in central Greece at the narrow coastal pass of Thermopylae. For three days\, a few thousand Greeks—led by 300 Spartan warriors and their king\, Leonidas I—held back a vast Persian army. Eventually encircled\, the Spartans and their allies were killed. Their stand\, however\, allowed thousands of comrades to escape and fight on\, leaving an enduring example of courage and sacrifice. \nIn April 1941\, on the eve of Anzac Day\, Australian and New Zealand troops returned to this same ground. Outnumbered and under relentless pressure from advancing German forces\, ANZAC units used the rugged terrain of Thermopylae and nearby Brallos Pass to delay the enemy\, enabling thousands of Allied soldiers to withdraw to safety. \nSPARTANS & ANZACS draws a powerful connection between these two defining moments. It reveals how service\, sacrifice and mateship transcend time\, linking ancient warriors with modern soldiers in a shared legacy of courage. \nThis exhibition invites reflection on the enduring values forged in conflict—and how these stories continue to shape the meaning of remembrance today. \nGalleries of Remembrance\nFree entry \nThis exhibition was supported by the Victorian Government and the Victorian Veterans Council.

SUMMARY:The Greater Second World War and Modern Global Geopolitics
DESCRIPTION:In 2025\, the world marked the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War\, but for millions across the Asia-Pacific\, Allied victory in 1945 did not bring peace. Numerous wars ravaged the region in the years that followed\, decolonisation created dozens of new states\, and millions of people died\, migrated\, or were otherwise displaced by conflict. The longer-term effects of the conflict have shaped\, and continue to influence\, the development of nations\, their relationships\, and the societal\, environmental\, and geopolitical challenges the region faces today. In this context\, there has been much renewed discussion about reconciliation (or the lack thereof)\, reconstruction\, and the preciousness of long-term peace\, both in the Asia-Pacific and globally. \nIn recognising the continued influence of the Second World War on the Asia-Pacific today\, the War Studies Research Group (UNSW Canberra) and the Second World War Research Group (King’s College London) will be hosting an international conference that addresses the aftermath of the war\, and its longer-term impacts on the region. The conference seeks to act as a nexus through which to bring together researchers from across the Asia-Pacific and beyond\, to bridge international and scholarly boundaries\, and foster connections beyond the conference. \n
