The Conscription Conflict and the Great War

About this book

A deep dive into Australia's divisive conscription debate during the Great War, exploring its lasting impact on national identity and political life.

While the Great War raged, Australians were twice asked to vote on military conscription for overseas service. This volume redresses the balance, offering a corrective to the 'militarisation' of Australian history. Distinguished scholars explore the origins, unfolding, and consequences of the conscription campaigns, comparing local events with experiences in Britain, the United States, and other countries.

Discover:

  • The political and social divisions caused by conscription
  • The role of labor and the influence of ideas
  • Transnational influences shaping the debate
  • The legacy of war and its impact on Australian democracy

For historians, political scientists, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Australia's past, this is a major new exploration of a unique and defining episode.
