After the German invasion of the Netherlands in 1940, Jews faced severe discrimination through the implementation of anti-Semitic laws, which restricted their rights and freedoms. They were excluded from public life, barred from professions, and subjected to social ostracism. The situation escalated with forced registration and the confiscation of their property, ultimately leading to deportations and the horrors of the Holocaust. This systemic discrimination laid the groundwork for widespread persecution and violence against the Jewish community.
During World War II, Jewish people faced severe injustices, most notably the systemic persecution and genocide known as the Holocaust, orchestrated by the Nazi regime. Approximately six million Jews were murdered through mass shootings, concentration camps, and extermination facilities. They experienced widespread discrimination, forced relocation, and loss of property and rights, as anti-Semitic laws stripped them of their citizenship and livelihoods. This systematic dehumanization and violence were driven by deeply ingrained anti-Semitic ideologies prevalent in Nazi Germany and occupied territories.
Yes and no.The last real legal and/or political tie to Britain was severed on 3 March 1986, when the Australia Acts came into effect. The Australia Acts declared that Australia had the status of a Sovereign, Independent and Federal Nation.The nation still retains Elizabeth II as head of state, but her position as Australia's head of state is a completely separate position from her position as the head of state of any other country, including the UK. What the Australia Act effectively did was remove the ability of the British Government to make laws for Australia and removed the last legal link with the UK by abolishing the right of appeal to the judicial committee of the Privy Council.Some might say Australia is still on a path to independence as we are still technically ruled by the British monarchy, even though that monarchy does not have any right to interfere with Australian laws. Currently, Australia chooses to remain in the Commonwealth. It has not yet elected to go down the path of republicanism.
The British Empire had a significant impact on Australia, as it colonized the continent in the late 18th century. This colonization led to the displacement and mistreatment of the indigenous Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The British also introduced their legal, political, and social systems, which continue to influence Australian society today. Additionally, the British brought European diseases, animals, and crops to Australia, fundamentally changing the continent's ecosystem and economy.
The white Australia policy originally developed during the 1800s because many Australians came from English stock and as a result felt that they were superior. They didn't even officially recognise the existence of aboriginals. They felt that by allowing other races into the country that their position would be swamped by ensuring cheap labour market and that they would become an unemployed minority in their own country. Some Australians wanted a "White Australia" policy and they believed Federation would enable the development and maintenance of a "White Australia", by toughening immigration laws. There was lingering resentment over the Chinese who had come during the gold rush, made their fortune (as they were far more industrious than Australians) and then returned to their own country, taking their fortune with them. Some stayed and set up businesses in towns, but they were always looked down upon. It was hoped by some (not all) that a White Australia policy would ensure employment for Australians. Some colonies were opposed to this policy as they used foreign labour, which was often much cheaper than local labour. An example of this is Queensland, which employed Kanakas (people from the Cook Islands). Under the new constitution, not only the Kanakas, but also the much-feared Chinese, who came to Australia during the gold rush, would not be allowed into Australia. Thus Federation would eliminate unwanted foreigners, providing more employment for Australians.
