"Curtin's War Policies"

Curtin's War Policies refer to the strategies implemented by John Curtin, the Prime Minister of Australia during World War II. After the fall of Singapore in 1942, he focused on strengthening Australia’s military and fostering closer relations with the United States, moving away from reliance on Britain. Curtin emphasized increased industrial production for war efforts, civilian defense, and the recruitment of troops. His policies aimed to prepare Australia for potential threats from Japan and ensured that Australians contributed significantly to the Allied war effort, ultimately shaping the country's defense and foreign relations in the post-war era.
