HOW DO WE KNOW ABOUT
WORLD WAR 1?
Year 9 - Humanities
Outcomes
• Why are there so many different resources and sources in relation to
World War 1?
• Why is studying World War 1 so important?
Question
• Why do you think World War 1 was such a significant event in
Australia’s History?
• It was a significant event in history because it came at a time when
Australia had only just become a federal commonwealth
• In the eyes of the rest of the world, Australia had no eminent military
history and no distinct cultural characteristics as a nation.
• Gallipoli was the first opportunity for Australia to earn the respect of
other nations and to show the world her strong national character.
World War I
• 9 million people died during World War 1
• Twice as many were wounded
• Because of its global scale and impact, there is an enormous range of
sources of evidence for World War I.
• Australia's population during the war years was under 5 million, yet
around 60 000 Australians died.
Written Sources

“Any day. Its just hell here now no
water or tucker only 7 out of 23 in no
1 troop on duty rest either dead or
wound. dam the place no good
writing any more.”
