A Short History of Australia by Ernest Scott is a concise and informative account of the history of Australia, from its earliest human inhabitants to the modern day. The book explores the major events, people and ideas that have shaped Australia, including its colonization by the British, the gold rush, the two world wars, and the country's transformation into a multicultural society. Scott examines the impact of European settlement on the indigenous population, the development of the Australian economy, and the country's political and social evolution. He also discusses the contributions of notable figures such as Captain Cook, Governor Macquarie, and Prime Minister Menzies, as well as the role of ordinary Australians in shaping the nation's identity. Written in an accessible and engaging style, A Short History of Australia is an essential read for anyone interested in the rich and complex history of this fascinating country. Whether you are a student, a scholar, or simply a curious reader, this book provides a comprehensive overview of Australia's past and its place in the world today.The first phase of warfare in which Australian military forces were occupied was in beating off a Turkish attack upon the Suez Canal in February 1915. Turkey entered the war as an ally of the Germanic powers in the previous October, against the wishes of the Sultan and the Grand Vizier, whose hands were forced by a military party led by Enver Bey, who was manipulated by German officers. The objects of the Turkish move against the Suez Canal were, first, to deprive Great Britain of one of her most important maritime routes, and secondly to stimulate a Moslem rising in Egypt.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
