Best Answer

It did, World War 1 was a defining time for our country with those 4 years enough to establish the early Australian identity of mateship and courageousness. It has influenced many other identity issues through out the decades and the Austrian identity has changed a lot since then based on this.


Also, sadly Australians realized that they were used as puppets in someone else's war.

New Zealand does have a unique national identity because we have many things that represent us in a certain way and make us different to others e.g. Our Flag represents our place in the world, our anthem tells others who we are and half of it is in Maori, our second language.
