"Anzac Day", the Military Day that is most valued by Australia

Australia is the only country in the world that has never experienced war, but advocates force and has repeatedly sent troops abroad to fight. ANZAC Corps Day (also known as "ANZAC Corps Day", or Military Day in Australia.) Memorial Day commemorates the Australian soldiers who died in World War I, World War II and subsequent wars.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Australia has always adopted a national defense policy dependent on Britain because of its large land area and small population. It has not enough troops to resist possible aggression. After the outbreak of the First World War, Australia and New Zealand formed the ANZ Corps and went to the European battlefield to cooperate with the British army.

On April 25, 1915, the ANZAC Army lost more than 10,000 soldiers in the Battle of Gallipoli, Turkey. Later, it fought in the European battlefield, with heavy casualties. After the war ended, returning veterans and schoolchildren joined forces with local officials to hold a massive commemorative march on this day every year. In 1916, the Australia Parliament designated this day a national public holiday.

After the beginning of World War II, Australia sent three divisions to the European battlefield to cooperate with the British army in the Middle East and North Africa, and suffered heavy losses. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, Japanese aircraft crazily bombed the city of Darwin in northern Australia. A country that has always been considered lucky, a paradise far from the battlefield suddenly faced possible invasion at any time. Once the Japanese invaded from the north, the British army would be trapped in the European battlefield and it would be impossible for it to draw strength to save Australia. They also formed the 9th Division and headed to the China-India Peninsula to cooperate with the British army.

that during a battle in Myanmar, more than 134,000 British, Indian and Australia soldiers laid down their arms as British generals announced their surrender. A third of the 15000 captured Australia soldiers died in the horrific Japanese prison camp. Only then did the Australia wake up from a dream. The former empire of the sun never set was already a mud Buddha crossing the river. The Australians could no longer rely on their British mother to protect their safety, so they turned to the United States.

After many consultations with the United Kingdom, it was only after withdrawing the defeated troops from the European battlefield and turning to the Asian battlefield to cooperate with the US military. A large number of U.S. troops have also stationed in Australia to establish military bases to serve as rear supply stations for the Asian battlefield. After the end of World War II, Australia has followed the United States and participated in all local wars launched by the United States.

The high respect that Australia people have for soldiers has its historical origin. The British relied on their advanced maritime military power to occupy Australia. This national war mentality has always been retained in the hearts of British citizens of Australia. To this day, the national army is still purely British volunteers, and soldiers enjoy very generous political and economic treatment.

Martyrs 'monuments or monuments are built in many parks in major cities, and wreaths are laid to the fallen soldiers every holiday. Canberra, the capital, has a large-scale war memorial hall, which displays the wars in which Australia soldiers participated abroad and educates the people. Many communities in major cities have military clubs that provide many preferential services to veterans.

Military Day in Australia is a national public holiday. It is the most valued festival by Australia, and the activities held are also the most solemn and solemn. The significance and celebration of this festival are in many ways more grand than National Day. On this day, in order to comfort the souls of those who died for the country, veterans or active-duty soldiers who once served in the army will take to the streets to march.

festival itself does not promote war, but is mainly to honor the soldiers and their companions who sacrificed their lives for the motherland. Now, every year on April 25, Australia and New Zealand have a holiday, and people hold various activities to commemorate the soldiers who died in the war. There are usually military parades, veterans 'memorial ceremonies, flower laying in cemeteries, and paying homage to martyrs. To this day, this commemorative method has become a major scenic spot for tourists to understand the local customs and people's sentiments.

Australia and New Zealand have established such a commemorative day to let all citizens remember those who once exchanged blood and lives for today's peaceful life, let everyone remember the wars that have occurred, and let everyone know that wars are cruel and kill people. We want to maintain peace, not war.

At the end of the

, what Xiao Bian wants to say is, why is the influence of our "Military Day" in China so small? Who still remembers those old soldiers who fought bloody battles in the past but are now hiding in a certain corner with sick bodies?
