During that war the entire country was turned into a weapon making machine.  Things were made in almost every factory that existed.  To name all of those would be a huge project.

I sure looked and could not find much.  There was a general hospital in the area for a while in WWII.  \n\nIn the 30's the U. S. Army did not have a pot to piss in.  I doubt that they had any presence in Australia to speak of.  It is possible that after WWII some bases stayed open to the 50's, but I don't see any indication.  \n\nAs the war progressed heading towards the Japanese mainland, U.S. units transitioned out of Australia and moved north.\n\nI hope someone has better luck.

It was pretty much an ethnic conflict. The Tutsi's were pretty much running the country from the 17th century through around the mid 20th.  The Hutus began to get more and more power in the 60's and many Tutsis left for Uganda. A fairly significant group of Tutsi refugees began demanding return and coming into the country, and there was an actual military incursion by Tutsis from Uganda around 1990.\n\n The government began a big campaign via radio and word of mouth to resist the Tutsi invasion. Some Hutu governement officials began unofficially training militias. Some peace accords were signed around 1993, and the Hutus kept stirring ethnic tensions by publicizing events carried out during the conflict and attributing them to Tutsis, though it is questionable as to whether some were manufactured by the Hutus to generate the tension.  \n\nThe Hutu president died when his plane was brought down in April 1994.  Some suspect dissatisfied members of the Hutu government, worried about losing power were responsible.  Regardless, this spark ignited the tinderbox that had been built and a massive rampage took place in which 500k-1M Tutsis and moderate Hutus were butchered over a 3 month period.\n\nIf you look at the whole history, both groups were beastly to the other at various times.  Tutsis came out on the short end 10 years ago. Pretty typical kind of long lived ethnic conflict.\n\nIt stands out because the UN was on the ground at the time, and essentially refused to become involved, so the genocide occurred on the world stage with the United Nation's tacit approval.

Exists as a place for displaced Jews to settle after WWII.  Palestinians feel like it is there land and was stolen from them--thus the conflict.

Settle?  Do you mean move to after the war?  \nThey went back home, found a job, found a school where ever those places were.

Yes, but not a very good one. When was the last time they won a shooting war without the help of the Soviet Union, Britain and Australia? I know about Grenada; I mean against a real army.

Following World War II, the British withdrew from their mandate of Palestine, and the UN partitioned the area into Arab and Jewish states, an arrangement rejected by the Arabs. Subsequently, the Israelis defeated the Arabs in a series of wars without ending the deep tensions between the two sides. The territories occupied by Israel since the 1967 war are not included in the Israel country profile, unless otherwise noted. On 25 April 1982, Israel withdrew from the Sinai pursuant to the 1979 Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty. Israel and Palestinian officials signed on 13 September 1993 a Declaration of Principles (also known as the "Oslo Accords") guiding an interim period of Palestinian self-rule. Outstanding territorial and other disputes with Jordan were resolved in the 26 October 1994 Israel-Jordan Treaty of Peace. In addition, on 25 May 2000, Israel withdrew unilaterally from southern Lebanon, which it had occupied since 1982. In keeping with the framework established at the Madrid Conference in October 1991, bilateral negotiations were conducted between Israel and Palestinian representatives and Syria to achieve a permanent settlement. In April 2003, US President BUSH, working in conjunction with the EU, UN, and Russia - the "Quartet" - took the lead in laying out a roadmap to a final settlement of the conflict by 2005, based on reciprocal steps by the two parties leading to two states, Israel and a democratic Palestine. However, progress toward a permanent status agreement was undermined by Palestinian-Israeli violence between September 2000 and February 2005. An agreement reached at Sharm al-Sheikh in February 2005 significantly reduced the violence. The election in January 2005 of Mahmud ABBAS as the new Palestinian leader following the November 2004 death of Yasir ARAFAT, the formation of a Likud-Labor-United Torah Judaism coalition government in January 2005, and the successful Israeli disengagement from the Gaza Strip (August-September 2005), presented an opportunity for a renewed peace effort. However, internal Israeli political events between October and December 2005 have destabilized the political situation and forced early elections, scheduled for March 2006.\n\n\nhttp://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/is.html\n\nhttp://www.eretzyisroel.org/~jkatz/\n\n\nQuote from Charles Krauthammer - The Weekly Standard, May 11, 1998\n\n"Israel is the very embodiment of Jewish continuity: It is the only nation on earth that inhabits the same land, bears the same name, speaks the same language, and worships the same God that it did 3,000 years ago. You dig the soil and you find pottery from Davidic times, coins from Bar Kokhba, and 2,000-year-old scrolls written in a script remarkably like the one that today advertises ice cream at the corner candy store."\n\nThe people of Israel (also called the "Jewish People") trace their origin to Abraham, who established the belief that there is only one God, the creator of the universe (see Old Testament). Abraham, his son Yitshak (Isaac), and grandson Jacob (Israel), are referred to as the patriarchs of the Israelites. All three patriarchs lived in the Land of Canaan, that later came to be known as the Land of Israel. They and their wives are buried in the Ma'arat HaMachpela, the Tomb of the Patriarchs, in Hebron.\n\nThe name Israel derives from the name given to Jacob (see Old Testament). His 12 sons were the kernels of 12 tribes that later developed into the Jewish nation. The name Jew derives from Yehuda (Judah) one of the 12 sons of Jacob. So, the names Israel, Israeli or Jewish refer to people of the same origin.\n\nThe descendants of Abraham crystallized into a nation at about 1300 BCE after their Exodus from Egypt under the leadership of Moses (Moshe in Hebrew). Soon after the Exodus, Moses transmitted to the people of this new emerging nation, the Torah, and the Ten Commandments. After 40 years in the Sinai desert, Moses led them to

Mussolini invaded Ethiopia in 1935 and Albania in 1939.\n\nHitler occupied the Rhineland in 1936, Austria in March 1938, the Sudetenland in September 1938, Memel in early 1939 and Bohemia in early 1939. His invation of Poland in September 1939 started WWII.

Of couirse, you're assuming that God gave these orders, and any of it really happened. However, at that time, that is what happened when one counrty lost a war. all men were killed, and all women were assimilated into the winning culture.
