World War 1
A Serbian man called Gavrilo Princip killed an Austrian called Franz Ferdinand so the Austrians wanted the Serbians to give Gavrilo or they will do something about it but Russia, as an ally of Serbia, said to not invade. The war all began because countries were allies and that's what they do. Protect each other. In 1945 ,6.5 million people migrated to Australia because it was not safe in their countries.They migrated by ships. This brought more populations to Australia. -
