    CHAPTER 2 WORLD WAR II (1939–1945) 15 ACTIVITY 2.1 The causes and initial AUSTRALIAN CURRICULUM HISTORICAL SKILLS course of World War II Use chronological sequencing to demonstrate the relationship between events and developments in different periods and places SAMPLE Source 1 Chancellor Hitler and President Hindenburg Many historians have argued that the causes of World War II, including the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, can be traced back to decisions made during the Paris Peace Conference when the Treaty of Versailles was agreed upon. The Treaty humiliated Germany and blamed it for World War I. It economically crippled Germany by imposing massive reparation payments, as well as by removing control of territory that was necessary to generate economic wealth and activity. The ravages of the Great Depression during the 1930s also affected Germany greatly. Many businesses went bankrupt, and by the early 1930s one in three workers were unemployed. © Oxford University Press ISBN 978 0 19 557579 8 OXFORD BIG IDEAS HISTORY 10 Australian Curriculum Workbook CHAPTER 2 CHAPTER 2 16 WORLD WAR II (1939–1945) WORLD WAR II (1939–1945) 17 German people were despairing.

  • Three Shades of Blue: Air Force Culture and Leadership
    Three Shades of Blue: Air Force Culture and Leadership Bernadette Pothan Submitted in fulfilment of the requirement of the degree of Master of Philosophy University College, the University of New South Wales 2013 Three Shades of Blue: Air Force Culture and Leadership ABSTRACT The study explores unconstructive ideas of power in the military. In the thesis doctrine is seen to promote ideas of power over others under cover of the language of leadership. The study explains how Australian Defence Doctrine Publication 00.6: Leadership in the Australian Defence Force confuses ideas of command and leadership, and asserts that in doctrine unconstructive ideas of power have engulfed ideas of leadership. More than published text, doctrine is understood to describe ideas which have pervasive cultural meaning and impact. The thesis explores how acculturated myths of power are causally relevant to air accidents, decayed maintenance standards, and the prejudice borne by women in the Service. The so- called ‘warrior culture’ is interrogated as the rationalisation of unconstructive power and the aggregated risk which follows on its heels. The focus of the study is narrowed to the Royal New Zealand Air Force, and explicit attention is devoted to the ‘characters’ which give life to unhelpful elements of the ‘warrior culture’. The thesis unpacks the ‘characters’ (‘Aircrew’, ‘Maintenance Crew’, and ‘Support Crew’) and explores how unconstructive ideas of power are discernable in Air Force culture. ‘Aircrew’ are seen to infuse and dominate every aspect of Air Force life. ‘Maintenance Crew’ is a symbol for the Air Force maintenance culture, revealing the controlling influence and the practical repercussions of the ‘Aircrew’ myth.

  • Saunders Scholarship Background Parameters
    The Captain Reg Saunders Memorial Scholarship Background The RSL established this tertiary level scholarship for drug and alcohol abuse studies in 1992 for students of an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander background. The Scholarship was named for Captain Reginald Walter Saunders MBE. In the development of the Scholarship, consultation with ATSIC revealed then, the urgent need for qualified substance abuse professionals among the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. As such, the Scholarship required an applicant to follow studies associated with the eradication of drug and alcohol abuse. Where student’s courses did not specifically contain subjects or units dealing with substance abuse, (e.g. nurses aid) the students must be able to provide scope for such studies in their elective subjects and/or field placements. For some years now the RSL administration of the granting of the scholarships has been established through the RSL National Trustees. The Scholarship One scholarship per year of $2000 to a student nominated by the University for agreement by the RSL National Trustees. The successful student must be of good academic standing and have the intention to use their skills or profession for the benefit of the aboriginal community. While a need for the eradication of drug and alcohol abuse remains important in applying the scholarship money, the grants may be used for leadership and personal development of recipients such that on their placement back in their communities they will be better equipped generally to provide a positive example and to advise on and assist in substance abuse among their other professional skills. Half yearly progress reports are required.
