Description

The twentieth century saw major transformations in Australian society. After the traumatic disturbances of the Great War, the Depression and World War II came periods of less dramatic but still profound change: the post-war boom through the Menzies years, the threats posed by the Cold War, the Bomb and the discovery of the teenager, the impact of immigration, the 1960s, the Whitlam government, the Hawke-Keating and Howard years and life at the turn of the century.
