  1. An introduction to Year 12 TEE History by… Unit 1: AUSTRALIA 1900-1945 Although the course will be taught chronologically- 1900 to the end of WWII in 1945 - most of the Australian Key Understandings KUs (remember that these are the core of the TEE History Course) deal with selected examples of how Australia has been (1.2) affected by its international relations, (1.3) affected by changing economic circumstances & (1.4) affected by political events, crises and developments. KU 1.1has a broader-whole period approach dealing with Australian Identity and KU 1.5focuses on theexperience/s of specific group/s and/or movements during the period, for example women, migrants, Aboriginals, sport etc.

  2. 1.2 Australia has been affected by its international relations.* • This understanding will be achieved by investigating the following aspects of at least one international influence on Australia during the period: • the nature, origins and progress of the international influence on Australia • the social, political and economic impact on Australia • the extent to which Australia has been shaped by these influences.

  3. So what about the ‘best’ example for some of the KU’s! FEDERATION GREAT DEPRESSION WWI VERSAILLES WWII KU 1.2 Australia has been affected by its international relations.

  4. 1.3 Australia has been affected by changing economic circumstances. * • This understanding will be achieved by investigating at least one of the changing economic circumstances affecting Australia: • the nature and causes of the economic change • the political response to this change and the measures introduced • the social response to the change • the degree of support or opposition to the changing economic circumstances • the extent to which Australia has been shaped by these changing economic circumstances.

  5. FEDERATION GREAT DEPRESSION WWI MEN, MONEY & MARKETS KU 1.3 Australia has been affected by changing economic circumstances.

  6. 1.4 Australia has been affected by political events, crises and developments.* • This understanding will be achieved by investigating at least one political event, crisis or development affecting Australia: • the nature of the events, crises or developments and their causes • the way in which the events crises or developments were handled by those involved • the political impact of the events, crises or developments • the extent to which the events, crises or developments were cohesive or divisive • the extent to which Australia has been shaped by the political events, crises or developments.

  7. So what about the other KU’s! FEDERATION 2nd LABOUR SPLIT CONSCRIPTION CRISIS FEDERAL GOVT POWERS KU 1.4 Australia has been affected by political events, crises and developments.

  8. The key here of course is throughout the period… so be aware of at least one of these groups, movements or experiences from 1900-1945because you can choose the focus if you have a special area of interest… • 1.5 Australia has been influenced by the social and cultural experiences of its people. • This understanding will be achieved by investigating at least one group, movement or experience throughout the period of study. (e.g. Aboriginal people, migrants, sport, women ) • the nature and history of the group, movement or experiences • the social, political and economic impact • the extent to which the experiences or movement shaped the Australian nation.

  9. It is essential for you to remember that the TEE Examiners will use these KUs and their  dot points to formulate the Document Studies and Essay Questions - where they may be simply re-written to provide essay questions…for example taking KU 1.1 as a focus... • 1.1 Australian identity reflects the changing nature of its society... • This understanding will be achieved by investigating the following aspects of Australian society at the beginning and throughout the period of study: • the social and cultural profile of society • the political structures and organisations • the economic system and activities • the leaders and their interaction with the community • shifts in policy and popular attitudes • how Australians perceived themselves and are perceived by others. What does the following primary source show us?

  10. The following passage is from Australia’s first Prime Minister, Edmund Barton speaking at a ‘Welcome Home’ function on his return from the 1902 Colonial Conference in London -after only a year of nationhood… what does it tell us about Australia and Australians at the beginning of the 1900’s?? • 'It is not for us to attempt to tear ourselves away from the country to which all of us owe so much and from the two islands from which most of us sprung ... I do not, on the other hand, think we should bow to any other authority to such an extent as to prevent us deciding our own local politics by our own independent votes. We can draw the line between jingoism and sound Imperialism ... we must not forget our independent spirit, and at the same time we must keep up the credit of the family. (Applause.) Britain & Ireland Australia will not follow an independent direction and will continue the close ties with Britain - our heritage and our ‘Mother Country’... Australia will however develop it’s own and uniquely ‘Australian’ domestic policies and politics - as desired by the Australian voting public... Thus Australia seems to want the best of both world’s - the safety, security and standing associated with being a dominion (semi-independent member) of the British Empire but still retaining a degree of independence and control over development and direction the new nation will take... Promote, protect and actively participate as a member of the British Empire Fervent & excessive patriotism...

  11. So from this single primary source what can we deduce about Australia and Australians using the headings provided in KU1.1? Complete your hard copy of this table... Most born in Britain or Ireland We were different/isolated from our heritage We had a representative govt. with elected politicians. Domestic issues & independence were important and took priority Leaders seem to be inclusive, considerate of people’s wishes - reflecting popular sentiment - if only of audience sample... Federation brought with it a degree of self-direction & confidence and dual nationalism became increasingly evident. Unique is some aspects whilst retaining aspects of our British/ Irish/ Anglo-Saxon heritage.

  12. Now using the various sources and text books complete the following tables…Snapshots of Australia and Elements of Australian Identity
