During the years from 1914 - 1918 Australia was at constant battle all over the world fighting for the british. With battles deaths always follow. So many people say, “what did we ever gain from WW1 we lost so many people as a country”. Although we lost almost 60,000 men and 150,000 wounded or taken prisoner. After the war the British Government offered ex-servicemen free transportation to some of the colonies, 17,000 migrants arrived in Australia between 1919 and 1922. Community organisations paid for migrants to come over to Australia. Small numbers also arrived independently. It was also said that up to 300,000 men came over from britain post war to live. The British government gave an incentive to migrate over because so many people

This was good for both countries, as Britain was struggling with the repatriation of many of its soldiers, and unemployment was at record highs in that country, and Australia desperately needed its population to rise to help develop a new nation. This incentive program was ultimately very successful, with over 300 000 (Bereson, 2000) British nationals emigrating to Australia, bringing skills, labour force and population growth to drive the economy forward. One component of this immigration program was that offered involved land settlements to Allied ex-servicemen, and 17 000 ex-soldiers took this opportunity. This led to greater farm and industry production, which fed the growth of a young Australia.

WWII had a big impact on the social changes in Australia before and after the war. One of the reasons it had such an impact on Australia was due to the immigration policy, which was made to increase Australia’s population. The immigration policy is a policy on legal migrants. Legal migrants who come to Australia under the migration act are non – Australians who come to the country for work or other reasons without permission or people who overstay their visas. This enforces that those who come in the country without permission may be subject to mandatory immigration detention and may be deported from the country at any time, unless been given permission to stay in Australia. This policy has contributed to the multicultural society of Australia today. To this day, there in an estimated 50 000 people who have overstayed their visas, most of these people come from British nations. Those touching base by boat or different means without official classification as refugees are no longer granted permission outcast status on landing. For example, those from an Asian background are becoming a more familiar part of Australia’s society today. Overseas migrant entries have assumed a vital part in changing the face of Australia. The current variety of migrants born in Australia include areas such as The United Kingdom, New Zealand, Italy, Vietnam, China, Greece, Germany, Philippines and India. Since the change in immigration policy in the late 1960s to one of non-discrimination on race or ethnic background, there has been a significant change in the overseas sources of migrants, with settlers arriving from more diverse regions of the world. To this day, Australia’s overseas born population consists of people who practise over 140 recognized ethnic groups, people who fluently speak over 90 different languages and people who believe in over 80 different religions. This expanding ethnic and social diversity has changed the way Australians view both themselves and other societies of the world. It has

The ending of World War 2 was a significant event in the early nineteenth century in which killed over 60 million people. With World War 2 beginning in 1945, it triggered numerous disasters that caused chaos to the world and carried out the seriousness of re-populating our society. Some people may think that the ending of world war 2 had no contribution on leading migrants to Australia, but It was in fact one of the most significant event in history that contributed to migration in Australia. This event created a dramatic change in our world is what helped to revolutionize our society. The Ten Pound Pom Scheme, Populate or Perish and the Displace Person Scheme were all main factors after the ending of the World War 2 that helped contribute to the migration to Australia.

With the already little population of 5 million Australian people and the loss of 300,000 men, this should have been a dark time, but to make up on that loss Australia received 300,000 migrants.

The Gold Rush made Australia largely colonised and continually expanding. In 1852, 370,000 immigrants arrived in Australia from many different countries.

Migration experience Migration of Greek people to Australia started in 1850 after the finding of gold in the goldfields of NSW and Victoria (Museum Victoria Australia, 2017). Greek mariners arrived with their ships and turned into ‘mine diggers’. After that their families joined them, these migrants form communities through ‘chain migration’. Australia experienced Greek migration at its peak during the WW 2 (Commonwealth Of Australia, 2017). Initially they worked as labourers specially factory workers but some were able to enter more esteemed positions in several fields including medicine, accounting and law.

For many years Asian Migrants were restricted from entering Australia and found it difficult to migrate due to discriminatory political policies.

I took sometime over the last couple of days to contemplate the question posed and that question was; which of the brothers did we most relate to? This was a difficult process for me because when thinking back over my life in parts, each part would reflect a different brother. After some extensive thought I chose Alexei because in my current state of life our experiences are very similar and in our early years we have a similar incident that took place. Even though they are not identical I will attempt to draw a parallel between the two.
